Signature Guardian Version 1 (Beta Released)

Signature Guardian Version 1 / 0212

Tomorrow night will be the big update... April 29, 2005

I have been out of town so I have not had a chance to get the final version done, but it is done now. The final version will include the following...

1. Mod Panel Controls

The Admin Panel has a option for the administrator to set permissions for mods and super mods to access the following controls!

A. Can or can not remove signature bans!
B. Can or can not view or edit signatures! (only signatures that are under ban!)
C. Can or can not access the forum signature controls (threadbit, postbits)

2. Admin Panel Controls

A. Set Auto ban limits ( hour(s), day(s), week(s), month(s), forever ) [per group]
B. You now can merge permissions into multi groups (set one permission to have it be used by many groups)
C. Admin Signature Editor, (all editors, uses the one you have selected in your options)
D. Image viewer (report)
E. Turn on or Off forum signature controls! (validate signatures (by post or thread) full detailed report shown with Admin options... (what to validate)
F. domain blocking via file or database.

I have also written a 15 page help file with over 100 images that explains each control in as much detail as I could. Also Help phrases have been added throughout the Admin and Mod panel and on the threadbits and postbits controls!

That it, c ya tomorrow!

(2) mirror errors that should be corrected. MySQL 3 support

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...d=1#post640036


Added MySQL support for any version of MySQL less than 4.1, including MySQL version 3, but you should update your MySQL install if you can!

Update the zip file to include both Mysql version scripts and error fixes!


The signature control is very advanced signature control and monitor! This modification will allow the administrator to take back control of all signatures on their forum. The control has over 100 key features that will allow total control of signature displaying on your forum!


The signature control allows you to switch from using vBulletin limited signature permissions, to a really advanced signature control. It does this by not ever effecting vBulletin control, allowing you to use the standard vBulletin control for some groups and use this advanced control for others!

The reason for developing this modification was to bring the complete signature control into one single Administrator Panel, so as not to have to set (bbcode rules) on one vBulletin options page, then have to set (image rules) and other signature option on many different pages! It make administering your forum much easier!

The signature control gives you many different options. Each is designed to allow you complete unlimited control of just how you want each groups to display their signatures!

Key Features...

Overrides vBulletin Signature rules
Works via groups and single users!
Group can use signatures (yes/no)
Group can view any signature (yes/no)
Enforce new rules or updated rules now! (yes/no)

Signature monitor (vB fake cron, server cron) scripts included!
Auto Ban (Soft, signature removed until revalidated)
Auto Ban (Hard, signature removed until administrator review)

A list of smilies that are not allowed (denied rule)


bbcode permissions

Maximum times any (1) bbcode may be reused (#)
The total combined BBCODES allowed (#)
The minimum and maximum font SIZE allowed


URL permissions

This is the beta release of this modification! The only part that is still beta, is the Admin Panel. The front end of this control is the (100% final working version). There will be no changes to that part of the code when this is released as being (Final).

The Admin Panel still needs (ban list sorting and limiting), see the install file for when this will be added as the first of (2) updates that this modification will have before being released as final!

As it is now, you can 100% (add, update) permissions, you also (view and remove hard bans). The Signature Monitor is (100%) working including (both) versions, the vB fake cron or the real server based cron!

ok i did all the edits to the files and everything seems fine. i went ahead and changed all the phrases to the proper prefix that im using. i installed the phrases thru Mysql and it said successful. but when i go to the hack in my admincp theres nothing there. i see a little space on where the letters are suppose to be but not how it should look. i then click the space and it shows me all of the usergroups (so i can change the settings per group) i then click the usergroup i want to change but there is no text in there. the filds are there but nothing else. please help i dont know what to do. i tried loading the lang file thru mysql and it says duplicate everytime. what can i do?

Just out of curiosity, the first post in a thread shows the message telling the user to change his sig. However, any more posts in that same thread made by the same user will display the signature.

Now I can't seem to figure out if this is a feature or a bug. :ermm:

[GameWizard]

Also I noticed it doesnt check for how many images I use. I set the limit to 2, it lets me use as many as I want.

I'm using the [IMG] tags, which are allowed. But the limits aren't being enforced.

or is it something totally different? (This is in my cron options in cpanel)


also:

what does this mean:
Before you do anything, open the script that you
will be using. Set the #bang bang line# to point
to your scripts interperter.


I'm guessing it is for the #!/usr/bin/php -q line, but what would I need to change and where do I find the "scripts interperter" ???

Anyone help with this as I also need to know??

Thanks

I installed it but want to use a php script for rotating the sig images (on refresh) - but this hack prevents using the .php extension inside a [IMG] tag

Any ideas of a way around this?

[madmaca]

Also when anyone tries to include a URL link in their signature they get the following error:

"Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /includes/functions_signature.php on line 565

Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /includes/functions_signature.php on line 567"

And then:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
A [U RL] link is missing or using a unsupported (HTTP PROTOCOL). We only support [] type [U RL] links.

The sig in question looks like this:

[U RL=http://www.bbc.co.uk][I MG]http://www.domain.com/madmac/sigs/6.jpg[/I MG][/U RL]



HELP!?
