Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+... · **Released**: 11-01-2002

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!

Nobody knows how to get the signature image to show up int PMs along with the signature text?!?

I tried the following, but didn't work..

In "root/private.php" find:

PHP Code:


			
        if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {

          $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];

        } else {

          if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {

            $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";

          } else {

            $avatarurl="";

          }

        }

        if ($avatarurl=="") {

    $post[avatar]="";

} else {

    eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");

  }

And Add After:

PHP Code:


			
// START SIGNATURE IMAGE

        if ($post[signatureid]!=0) {

            $signatureurl=$post[signaturepath];

        } else {

            if ($post[hascustomsignature] and $signatureenabled) {

                $signatureurl="signature.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[signaturedateline]";

            } else {

                $signatureurl="";

            }

        }

        if ($signatureurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showsignatures]))) {

            $post[signatureimg]="";

        } else {

            eval("\$post[signatureimg] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signatureimg")."\";");

        }

// END SIGNATURE IMAGE

But that didn't fix it either.

Any help?

I'd thought about that after I posted that last message.

I was just gonna look and see what queries needed to be run. Thanks for the help, works great!

I added both parts for the queries and also added the "postbit_signatureimg" template to the required templates. For those of you who don't know exactly what to add where to get the sig image to show in PMs, do the following..

In "root/private.php" do the following 4 things..

Find:

PHP Code:


			
privfolder,postbit_avatar

And Replace With:

PHP Code:


			
privfolder,postbit_avatar,postbit_signatureimg

Find:

PHP Code:


			
                                 user.*,userfield.*".iif($avatarenabled,",avatar.avatarpath,customavatar.dateline AS avatardateline,NOT ISNULL(customavatar.avatardata) AS hascustomavatar ","")."

And Add Below:

PHP Code:


			
                                 ".iif($signatureenabled,",signature.signaturepath,NOT ISNULL(customsignature.signaturedata) AS hascustomsignature,customsignature.dateline AS signaturedateline","")."

Find:

PHP Code:


			
                                 ".iif ($avatarenabled,"LEFT JOIN avatar ON avatar.avatarid=user.avatarid

                                                        LEFT JOIN customavatar ON customavatar.userid=user.userid ","")."

And Add Below:

PHP Code:


			
                                 ".iif ($signatureenabled,"LEFT JOIN signature ON signature.signatureid=user.signatureid

                                                           LEFT JOIN customsignature ON customsignature.userid=user.userid","")."

Find:

PHP Code:


			
if ($post[avatarid]!=0) { 

          $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath]; 

        } else { 

          if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) { 

            $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]"; 

          } else { 

            $avatarurl=""; 

          } 

        } 

        if ($avatarurl=="") { 

    $post[avatar]=""; 

} else { 

    eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";"); 

  }

And Add Below:

PHP Code:


			
        if ($post[signatureid]!=0) {

            $signatureurl=$post[signaturepath];

        } else {

            if ($post[hascustomsignature] and $signatureenabled) {

                $signatureurl="signature.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[signaturedateline]";

            } else {

                $signatureurl="";

            }

        }

        if ($signatureurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showsignatures]))) {

            $post[signatureimg]="";

        } else {

            eval("\$post[signatureimg] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signatureimg")."\";");

        }

Perhaps this should be included in the installation instructions.

Thanks again LangTuDaTinh!

beautiful hack, pity the queries wern't auto or the templates weren't in different txt files, would've cut installation time into shreads, gonna install this later

Harlequin · #**236** 08-19-2003, 03:42 AM

I'm using vB 2.3.2 and I've installed this hack with no problems whatsoever, however, there was a pretty big problem with the fact that the graphic itself didn't show. It has a nice, big X.

I've went through about ten pages of this thread hoping to grab on to an answer, but I don't think I've passed by anyone that's got quite the same problem I do.

Not only does the graphic not display in the usercp, it doesn't display on a post either (the text is there for the signature, the graphic comes up, again, as an X.)

The <img src=" is returning the following:

signature.php?userid=1&dateline=1061267928

Any clues?

I've reinstalled this thing twice already -- but I'll install it again if that's what it takes.

It looks like a great hack -- hope I can use it soon.

(Could just be it's reeeeal late at night while I'm tryin' to get this on.

)

I'm having issues with this as well and I don't get any sig showing and yes everyting is enabled. Problem is there are too many steps to go through to find the problem. I will have to remove this for now until Hellsatan finds the bugs.

sabret00the · #**238** 09-14-2003, 11:27 AM

does this hack still work or shall i leave it for another day?

PAINTBALLM · #**239** 10-07-2003, 02:50 AM

any way to add the option of using a image sig, or a text sig? (via radio button)

NightWalk8r · #**240** 10-13-2003, 04:22 PM

hey.....great hack!!!

but as everyone asked, is there a way to have either or both image and text sig??

how about just add another field for the text sig??

LangTuDaTinh · #**241** 11-22-2003, 03:14 PM

This is a great hack and I have installed it for a long time but the more members are using it in a big forum, your forum will be much more slower. After removed this from showthread and store avatar and sig image on web harddisk instead of on the database, my forum speed is much much faster.

So if you have a big forum and would like to use this or multi avatar feature then I would recommend not to store on database.

and the best part is i don't use any queries for both avatars and sig image. i even removed all avatars and sig image from big get post queries in showthread.

what i do is allow members to upload to a directory and set their userid as filename. if user uploaded avatar or sig image then i would change the field avatarid and signatureid to 1, then in function.php, i would add sigimage by check weather those field is one or not. if it's 1 then the avatar and sig will display.

i will add a multi avatars later
