Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+...

This hack is now a Full Release!!!...You can visit the BETA thread here - I will still be using that thread to test out upcoming versions!

Please do the following before attempting to install:

1.) Backup your Files & Database before doing anything
2.) Be aware that although I have tested this myself, there may still be problems...If you do not backup your files & database, I cannot condone your install of this hack...

The files you should have are:

In the main folder
modifications.php
templates.php
queries.php
3.0 - Show Signatures.php
3.0 - Usergroup override - permissions.php
NEW INSTALL.php

In the root folder
signature.php

In the admin folder
signature.php

*================================================= ================================================== ==================*
Please Note:
The install files are in the ".php" format, as vBulletin.org Parses all "{ imagesfolder }" and other replacment variables
used in the code - With .php extensions, it does not.
*================================================= ================================================== ==================*

Updating from BETA

Depending on what version you are updating from, I recommend the following:

Version 1.0Beta - 2.1Beta - Complete re-install
Version 2.2Beta - Follow the instructions for the .php files starting "3.0", and there is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file
Version 3.0Beta - There is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file

v3+ comes out!
v3+ is really just the following:

Converting of all install files to .php format (to prevent code parsing)
Creation of an extra folder (root) to house the root/signature.php file (so you dont get confused with the install .php files)
The root/usercp.php modifcation I forgot to include

Enjoy!

Hmmm...

Im not really sure what you want -

Do you want either:
1.) Users can only have Signature Images
OR
2.) Users can have both, but only editable on the "Edit Signature" screen
OR
3.) None of the Above

?

#2 would be ideal. They could have only text, or text/image, or only image, but only editable on the "Edit Signature" screen.

That's the way I think it should work.

[Chris M]

Right

I will see what I can do - I might not get it done though

ok i figured out the some posts missing sigs thing..it was a quick reply issue...

/me smacks forehead again...

so i guess we're down to the two problems

1. no text sigs in the new hack, imageless sigs

2. sigs put in by admin cp do not show up in the usercp (this is a biggy in an imperfect world)

3. no sig barrier (the white line) in sigs put in by usercp once you make the postbit template correction to correct the big fat "0" you get by resetting user sigs in php...i mean, you can insert one, but then sigs inserted by admin cp will have two...

oh, thats three problems

also, way to support satan. thanks alot for your help and hack...mucho gracias

[Chris M]

Im not sure why number 2 is happening

I dont think that is related to this hack

Satan

[Palyntir]

i think it is..at least, its related to something the hack doesnt do...

if you manually put in the sig in the admin cp by editing the profile, it doesnt register with the hack, meaning it isnt uploaded to the system and displayed in the usercp...if the hack interracted with the existing admin functions for adding sigs, wouldnt that be resolved? just a simple check to the db for images when you load the usercp or something...if i was a hax0r id work it out myself...unfortunately, im sort of dumb..

[Chris M]

I see...

What you mean is that if you add a Sig Image via the Admin CP, it doesnt show in the UserCP...

Unfortunately, it wasnt part of the original hack - N9ne coded the template modification, and someone else did the usercp.php modification - I would have to take a look at the usercp modification to get it to work properly

Satan

[Palyntir]

yup thats it...thanks for having alook.

also, where would i look to change the image path to clear.gif...cant seem to find it...
