Signature forced to bottom (postbit_legacy)

This mod will force all user's signatures to the bottom of their post. This is helpful if you have custom fields displayed under your avatars. Only 3 code changes are required in the postbit_legacy template. It'll take you about one minute to install this.

I have attached a couple screenshots showing what this mod does. I also have enabled this on my forums and you can see an example there:

In postbit_legacy, find:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Change to:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Then find:

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

Delete it.


Now find:

		<!-- / edit note -->
		</if>
	
	</td>
</tr>

Directly underneath add:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]">

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		</td>
</tr>

Oy, yeah well... by revert I assumed you didn't have other hacks, you should have gone into the template history and compared the 2, and rebuilt the current one minus the changes made by this hack.

Download vbplaza again and go thru the product.xml to see what you're missing for that template, it might take a while, and a lot fo trial and error, but you'll eventually get it. It's just the postbit_legacy so it can't have screwed up plaza too badly.

i tryed every code in the post and i still have the empty space

[|oR|Greg]

Pascal, I tried all of Sledgstones code as well and I too had the space. I ended up having to customize it for my site because I have so many hacks running.

What his code attempts is continue using cellspacing="1" overall for the template, but to override it in a few spots with the CSS code placement. You'll have to play with your template in order to get it looking right. It IS possible, don't give up. Take a look at mine.

Thank you for your answer but when i try to change the styles template, it doesn't appear correctly in the generated source.

BTW, i have nothing installed i try to hack the original (reverted) postbit_legacy so it s probably coz of my style css..

What's your site address?

[Canis Firebrand]

very Nice. I had a similar one installed that was in the 3.5.x section. It looked a bit similar, but it left gaps in the lefthand section with the avatar and all the icons.

this one takes care of that issue.

Nice job!

mine gets all screwed up cuz of rowspan="2" and looks like this :

any help???

[DrewzR/T]

I also had a different skin so my postbit was jacked. I figured it out. This is all I had for the first edit.

<td class="alt2" width="175">

Then this is what I did to make it work

<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2">

May not help some but hopefully some can use it.
