Limit Links In Signature · **Released**: 08-14-2009

This version is for 3.8.x only, if you'd like to use it with 3.6.x, click here!

DESCRIPTION

In short, this hack allows you to set a maximal number of allowed links in signatures for each user group. If the user is previewing or saving the signature with more links than allowed, it returns an error message with the current number of links and the allowed one.

Note that this hack does also have any effect when the user has a secondary (member) group. The permissions of users whose secondary (member) group is allowed to use more links than the primary group will be taken. So, if a user is in primary user group "Registered" with 2 links allowed and in secondary group "Verified" with 3 links allowed he is allowed to have 3 links in signature (if the user group option 'Allow Users to have Member Groups' is set to Yes).

The allowed number of links will be shown in the 'Signature Rules' box (if you do the template change).

- Maximal number of links in signature (int)

Done.

INSTALLATION

- Upload files from the upload folder
- Import the product via ACP > Manage Products > Import
- Do the template change (can be found within the ZIP file!)

CONFIGURATION

Note that by default (after installation) the values are set to 0, means all user groups do not have any limitations unless you edit the permissions!

To set/edit the allowed number of signature links go to "Manage Usergroups", edit the desired usergroup by scrolling down to the "Signature" box where you'll find the new permission setting. Enter 0 to not limit the number of links. If you do not want to allow links in general, set the option 'Allow Link BBCode' to No.

thanks, just added it
I could click edit signature, and preview with more then the allowed number for that group, or does admin override all? (admin group was set to 6, I could preview with 9 np)

I tried to disable signature links for a specific group, could only do this by setting the max number of links to "-1"

Thanks!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
