Add-On Releases - EG - Custom Signature Rules

Here is my very first hack. It is a signature rules hack. It is pretty simple. Someone had asked me if I could throw this together and so I did and now I figure I would share it just in case someone else wants to use it.

You set the rules in your adminCP and they show up in the edit signature window in the userCP. It will help the users know what rules they must follow when using a sig on your forum. This doesn't control their sigs it just gives them rules that they must follow or you have the right to delete their sig.

Screen shots attached.

Time to install: 1 minute


Version: 1.6
Fixed it so longer rules will wrap and not cause the rules to spread out.
Updated screen shot to show this.

Version: 1.4
Fixed it so the Additional Notes field is below the rules.


UPGRADE:
Just upload the new product file and select yes to allow override and that is it.

Thanks a lot for this hack Great !!

But if i don't use all rules (for example 3 rules), the rules where there is "N/A" -> N/A appears.

So you can effectuate this modification in the XML :

Find :

<TABLE class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<TR> <TH COLSPAN=2 class="tcat" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0"><strong>Signature Rules</strong></TH> </TR>
<TR><TD align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" WIDTH=50%><menu>
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_1]
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_3]
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_5]</TD> <TD align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" WIDTH=400><menu>
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_2]
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_4]
<li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_6]</menu></TD> </TR>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<TR><TD class="alt1" width=100%><strong>**$vbphrase[eagle_add_notes]</strong>
$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_7]</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Replace by :

<TABLE class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<TR> <TH COLSPAN=2 class="tcat" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0"><strong>R?gles des signatures</strong></TH> </TR>
<TR><TD align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" WIDTH=50%><menu>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_1]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_1]</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_3]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_3]</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_5]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_5]</if></TD> <TD align="left" valign="top" class="alt1" WIDTH=400><menu>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_2]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_2]</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_4]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_4]</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_6]"><li type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_6]</if></menu></TD> </TR>
<if condition="$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_7]"><table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<TR><TD class="alt1" width=100%><strong>** $vbphrase[eagle_add_notes]</strong>
$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_7]</TD></TR>
</TABLE></if>

Yes you could do that. You could also just leave the rules blank so they don't show anything.

sweet, once adviced to the user, lets you edit anytime you want without asking the user to do it.

When I made it, it showed circles (<li>). It's for this reason

Is there a way or does anyone know of another mod which will let me replace a signature with a signature stating that their signautre has been disabled and to re-read the rules edit their signature and then allow me to turn it back on manually.

Will this work on VB 3.5.x ?
