Signature Help

Hey, I have gotten some users abusing the Signature system. Is there a hack that will automatically resize signatures over a certain size?

make a signature rule to disallow big signature size . if the users still abuse it, disable their signature. There's one hack Disable User Signature released.

i have tried that and noone lisens. I tried the signature hack and i got an SQL error =_=

I got a two signature limits (max. number of lines and max font size) in my board which do work quite good.
These are both adjustable in the Admin CP, 0 does mean no limit.

Maybe it is useful for others too, therefore I'm gonna post the code here.

In the User Profile Options section of the Admin CP create the settings

• maxsiglines
• maxsigfontsize

In Phrasegroup Front End Error Messages create the following phrses

• sigtoomanylines
• sigtoolargefont

In profile.php FIND

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['maximages'] != 0) 


ABOVE that INSERT

PHP Code:

    // Signature Hacks
    require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
    require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
    // Signature Hacks
    // Signature Limits Hack
    // Check max. font size
        if ($vboptions[maxsigfontsize] > 0) {
      // Make sure user does not user too large fonts
          $pattern = "/\[size=\+*0*[" . ($vboptions[maxsigfontsize]+1) . "-9]\].*\[\/size\]/si";
      $pattern2 = "/\[size=\+0*[1-" . $vboptions[maxsigfontsize] . "]\].*\[\/size\]/si";
      if (preg_match($pattern, $signature) or
          preg_match($pattern2, $signature) or
              preg_match("/\[size=\+*0*[1-9][0-9]+\].*\[\/size\]/si", $signature)
          
         )       {
        $preview = 'true';
        eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('sigtoolargefont', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
      }
    }
        // Check max. lines
    $line_parsed_sig = parse_bbcode($signature);
    $siglines = 0;
    $siglines += fetch_character_count($line_parsed_sig, '<br');
    $siglines += fetch_character_count($line_parsed_sig, '<blockquote');
    $siglines += fetch_character_count($line_parsed_sig, '<pre');
    $siglines += fetch_character_count($line_parsed_sig, '<center');
        if (preg_match("/\<blockquote\>(.*)\<\/blockquote\>/si", $line_parsed_sig, $matches)) {
          $siglines += preg_match_all("/\n/si", $matches[0], $lines)+1;
        }
        if ($vboptions[maxsiglines] > 0 and $siglines > $vboptions[maxsiglines]-1)  {
      $preview = 'true';
      eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('sigtoomanylines', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
    }
        // Signature Limits Hack 


Please note that this does not affect current signatures.

Hey

could you please elaborate on how exactly we can create these settings?
I mean the exact steps, as I'm new to VB3 and I'm not sure what exactly I should do and how...

thanx in advance
