stripping signature editor

[trag]

OK, I've done a bit of searching on this forum, .com, and templates... and I still havn't found exactly what I'm looking for. However... I'm sure I might have missed it... but anyway.

My question is... how do I strip the special editing functions of the signature editor. I don't want users to be able to set anything except basic text (of which I force size/font etc).

I saw a fancy signature limiting hack... but it was only a picture of what someone was requesting (or may have been on another board or something).

(note: I know you can turn off vb code and such in user options, but the options still appear in the sig editor. I want to remove that completely.)

Anyway... thanks.

Basically, I want to force a specific style for signatures. I don't want size/font/color. I don't mind link, bold, italic etc...

Worst case, I can just turn of VB code in the options... HOWEVER... the buttons still appear in the signature editor. How do I remove these so it is simply a text box?

[trag]

I've found the toolbar contents in editor_toolbar_standard. What would be the best way to make an editor_toolbar_signature. Should I just edit the standard version to have an "if" statement, or should I make an actual new template with the items that I want... and just call editor_toolbar_signature when someone attempts to edit their sig?

[trag]

Anyone have any ideas on how to strip the buttons out of the signature editor?

Trag, did you find a modification / solution for this?

I'm looking for something similar - a way to not display specific options (e.g. the font size and image options) when users click "edit signature" from their user cp, and to disallow specific bbcodes in signatures.

I have found mods which allow users to limit what signature elements they see, but I would prefer to not have any users set huge font sizes for their signatures in the first place. I also don't want to allow images in signatures.

Many thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions.

yup, try this conditional

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'profile'">

// template code that should only appear on posts and PMs, but not in signature page.

</if> 


alternatively:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'profile'">

// template code that should only appear on signature page and not on posts or PMs.

</if> 


untested, but I think it'll work

Quick note, you used

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'profile'"> 


on both those code snippits

Should the top one not be

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' OR 'newthread' OR 'newpost' "> 
//Im not sure about that syntax :P

if you just want the signature editor to be limited, then it's just profile

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'profile'"> 
... signature related markup
<else>
... markup for the editor on all but signature
</if> 


if you want to exclude something from showing up on the sig editor, then you can also put this around it:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'profile'"> 
... markup for the editor on all but signature
</if> 


THIS_SCRIPT is set at the top of a php file, for private messages it's private, and so on... for the signature editor (profile.php?do=editsignature), it resolves to profile.

so without having tested this particularcode, I'm pretty sure it works as I stated, I did a similar conditional here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71609

let me know if it works out, or not?

Hmm, but even if you limit the editor the users can still use vB-Code (if they know how to do that).

[Ianomed]

that follows of course
code so far presented is to remove the buttons, in answer to trag's query.
