Signature Image System

Signature Image Management System (file based)

Updated: 27 June 2002, 12:22 AM BST

This hack allows users to upload a image or images that they can then use as part of the thier signature. All uploaded images are private to the user that uploaded them.

The hack requires that you have PHP 4.1.0 or newer for the upload functions to work correctly. PHP 4.0.6 can be used with modifications (not recommended).

The scripts can if enabled also prevent users from externally linking to the images they uploaded, please note this is done by HTTP_REFERER checking not all http servers or browsers support this however is more widely supported than Apache's mod_rewrite. Should you wish to stop deep linking then upload a image called badcontent.gif to your forums directory.

Further more instructions are provided in how to get this hack to work if you are using vBulletin's standard sig editor or a advanced sig editor hack.

Inside "edit profile" or the sig editor should you be using one there should be a little table headed "images" click the alter images link to upload/manage images. A popup window should open in that window you can upload, delete & replace images.

The example.png image in the archive should show this better than my pretty bad explaination.

dabean> Yeah, what Im saying is......this does not show in my profile at my site.

Are the templates possibly named wrong?

Check it out, if you will.

My forum link is in my sig below.

freddie: done

now c-prompt,
signed up and checked most strange the only thing i can think of is did you accidentally put the block of code after

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("modifyprofile")."\ ");");

instead of before it?

If you didn't then I honestly don't know whats wrong (excluding you being missing a template).

[c-pr0mpt]

Where would I find that string? Sorry, I apologize for being annoying.

[dabean]

Inside member.php

[c-pr0mpt]

Ok I found what you were referring to and it is above where it should be.........

The problem is that the edit profile page is not picking up that template at all......

Weird.

[c-pr0mpt]

Its not much but I could pay ya like 10 bucks to fix it for me so it works. lol My members want it but I cant spend any more time on it. I have client work that needs to get done. Or even just take a look and tell me whats wrong.

[c-pr0mpt]

Could it be that the templates are calling for things like, "sigimagebit", but the template is called, "sig_images_bit"?

[dabean]

hehe, I'll fix it for free just um. email me your member.php file and i'll modify it. You should have my email addy from me registering over on your forums.

-- edit didn't see your last post but
every $sigimage<whatever> is eval'd to its correct template by the code.

eg
eval ("\$sigimagebits = \"".gettemplate ("sig_images_none")."\";");
