Great I have been waiting for this hack for months now! Thanks man.

[Marco]

This works beautifully! Thanks a lot.

[Protoman]

maybe in the next version you could add something to control dynamic signatures. I have many users that use them to rotate an image as their signature but I worry it could be used for evil!

Great Hack Kirby, just one question. Is there a way to do a check on signatures that were already entered and exceed the limits? I have thousands of users and a message letting them know their signature violates the rules would be good when first implimenting this.

Phrases arent showing up.

@corollasbest
What are "dynamic signatures"?

@jribiz
Currently not possible, but I thought about the possibility to add a script that checks all existing Sigs in the future.

@Danieldude
Hmm ... you are using the latest Version?
You did import it as a product?
Which phrases are missing?

Thanks Kirby, you know, I realized probably the best way to handle it anyhow is to have a mod edit their violating sig out with a message, since the user would need to re-enter it they would then need to abide by the set requirements. Thanks!

I would love a script that checks against existing!

Just wanted to share these scripts. As we are trying to decide what limits to set, I am running them to make the changes globally rather than going through the control panel. Once we have finished, we can fine tune on a usergroup level.

If anyone uses these, you need to replace the 'x' in the script you use with the number that you want for that field.

[sql]update usergroup set maxsiglines = 'x';
update usergroup set maxsigfontsize = 'x';
update usergroup set maxsigimgsize = 'x';
update usergroup set maxsigimgwidth = 'x';
update usergroup set maxsigimgheight = 'x';
update usergroup set maxsigimages = 'x';[/sql]

it only checks when the sig is updated, correct?

Yeah, Kirby said in his reply to me that a script would be required to check current sigs, so it just checks when the sig fields are updated by the user.
