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>

Looks like a great mod if it works. Do you know if it'll work with 3.6.4 ?

I have been wanting this for a long time. I've always thought sigs look too close to the messages. Having them down at the bottom looks a lot better I think.

But I am having a problem with this hack...and it's not the authors fault....it's the skin I'm using. The following line is missing, so I can't even try some of the posts in this thread to fix this:

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

There was a post in this thread about this problem who's attached image was what I am looking for but without the above code in my skin I can't figure out how to accomplish that.

I've been tinkering with this for hours but I just can't seem to be able to get the border from appearing above the sig. The code looks like this:

<td class="alt2" BGCOLOR="white" BORDER="0" BORDERCOLOR=WHITE valign="bottom">

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND (($vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]<0 AND $post[warning_level]>=$vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]) OR $vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]==0)">
<td class="alt2" BGCOLOR="white" BORDER="0" BORDERCOLOR=WHITE valign="bottom">		
		<!-- sig -->
			
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</td></if>
		</td>

Another problem is that if someone does not have a sig the cell background is black.

If anyone would please go to one of the posts at my site and look at the source I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's one thread that has a few posts in it where you can see the line and an empty sig with the black background:

I know this thread probably shouldn't be an HTML tutorial, but I am really stuck with this.

Thank you very much - works perfectly and should be part of the default vB style.

Click Install.

I ended up having a really wired screen. Turned out I ended up with a extra <tr> above the last data add. I don't know where it came from or if it was related to this... But, removing that fixed it. it looks great! thanks
