Show Thread Enhancements - Hide Signature and Avatar in specific forum

Hello everybody,

This is my first modification I post in vBulletin.org, and I hope it will be a good start for me and I keep posting new modifications for you.

Today's post is about hiding signature or/and avatars in threads in specific forum, its very easy and simple.

• Hiding signatures

First, open your postbit, or postbit_legacy template.


Find:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

Replace it with:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(2,47))">

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Replace 2 & 47 with the forum id you want to hide signatures from it, if you want to add more forum numbers add comma between them.

You're done !

• Hiding Avatars

Now we will do the same thing with avatars, its also easy like the signature hiding.
Open your postbit, or postbit_legacy template.


Find:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">

Replace it with:

<if condition="$show['avatar'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(2,47))">

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Replace 2 & 47 with the forum id you want to hide avatars from it, if you want to add more forum numbers add comma between them.



I hope this modification would be useful for everyone.


Regards,
Ibrahim Mohammed

How would I hide this for unregistered users? What I want to do is hide avatar, signature, and membernames from unregistered users while still letting them view some thread content.

My guess is that I would replace the condition !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(2,47)) with in_array(*whatever variable for group membership*)

thank u

User CP, three checkmark boxes in the User Options allow a user to choose to do this for the whole board.

If you want to show something only to members, use this code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
Some thing you want to hide from guests
</if>

and if you have many user groups that you want to hide from them, use this one:

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array('1','2','3'))">
Some thing you want to hide from some groups
</if>

Note: Replace 1,2,3 with the groups you want to hide a content from them

You can make additional user profile fields from the ACP,
and then use this code:

<if condition="$member['field6']=='show'">
$post['signature'];
</if>

Note: Replace field6 with the field name/number that will appear in the ACP after adding it.

Good, i like this... installed.

Also, I added an "else":

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(97))">
        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________<br />
                $post[signature]
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->

<else />

        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________<br />
                In this subforum the signatures are disabled.
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->

        </if> 


Work perfect but I am noob in PHP, so I don't know... maybe the code can be more optimized?

Just an FYI

I did not want to display signatures or avatars to unregistered users, but there are also three forums that I did not want them to display to members. so I used the following...

In case anyone was looking to do the same...

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND $show['member'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(36,107,108))">
 
HIDE THIS
 
</if>
