CSS Signature Size Enforcer

Product Name:
Signature Size Enforcer

Product Description:
Ever get tired of problem users with half-page long signatures and of policing signature size rules by hand? This mod might be just what you are looking for.

This product wraps signatures in a <div> and forces the sig to a maximum height (in pixels) with CSS. If their sig goes over the maximum height, the sig area is limited to the specified height. Optionally, you can choose to have a vertical scroll bar displayed for the overflowing signature.

This product requires no template changes or file modifications at all. It is all done automagically in the plugin.

Contents:
This package includes:
2 Plugin:
"Add CSS code to vBulletin": Adds CSS code to the global CSS header.
"Put Signature in a <div>": Wraps the signature inside a <div> with the CSS class defined above.

1 Phrase:
sigsizecss: holds the CSS code to be added. In this product, it creates a class called "sizedsig" that will be used for the sig <div>

2 Option/Setting:
maxsigsize: (group "Signature Sizing"): This is the maximum size, in pixels, a signature is allowed to grow.

sigsizescroll: (group "Signature Sizing"): [yesno] Option to add scroll bars to the oversized signatures, or to just clip the signature.

Installation Instructions:

Step 1: Import the product .xml file (attached here)

Step 2: Change the "maxsigsize" option to your desired maximum signature size. This number is in pixels. The default is "150".

Step 3: Change the "sigsizescroll" option to yes to add scroll bars to oversized signatures, or no to just clip the region with no scroll bars.

Step 4: Enjoy.

Version History:
version 0.9 - Initial release]
version 0.91]
Added option to choose scroll bars.

max-width:500px;
height:expression(this.scrollHeight > {1}? "{1}px" : "{2}" );
width:expression(this.scrollWidth > 500? "500px": "auto" );
overflow:{2};
overflow-x:hidden;
}
// -->
</style>

This seems to be compatable with IE and FireFox (untested in Opera).

OK...Ill take a look early this week and add the width thing.

Clicked Install with a huge smile on my face! Worked perfect right out of the box. Thank you very much for such a useful and timesaving plugin.

This takes care of having to manage member signature size. Awesome plugin and very easy to install.

Uh oh. I found out recently that the expression tag causes some versions of IE to crash. Some of my users have experienced this behavior. Removing the expression tags fixes the crash, but leaves the sig-size as unlimited. Any suggestions?

Do you mean where to modify them? Those are accessable from your admincp under vBulletin options -> Signature Sizing

Ok i tried to do it myself but i dont know how.

I want to add it so that at least a usergroup is excluded from the signature being resized.

I tried to add in the postbit_complete one and parse_templates.

$ignore_groups = split(',', $vbulletin->options['siggroupexception']);

if(!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $ignore_groups) )
{
sigcode here
}

Anyone know what how i would go about doing this.

siggroupexception is a new option

<setting varname="siggroupexception" displayorder="30">
<datatype>free</datatype>
<defaultvalue>5,6,7</defaultvalue>
</setting>

I put that in.

If anyone could help that be great. Thanks.

Great thanks!

I had done something similar on my old version of vB and lost all mu custom stuff when I finally upgraded to the latest version this week.

This saves me time as I don't have to do it again, and the "product" format is nice and clean.
