  ... modified version of the template follows
<else />
  .. original template 
</if> 


Could you possibly include this as a standard option in your great hack? My users can "get by" with one signature...but multiple signatures for the admin would be very useful.

Sorry I'm not smart enough to figure this out without your help. :ermm:

i'd love to use this hack, but in the txt file i have (most recent on, downloaded today) the final phrase is missing a var name and it wont let me add it without a var name, if anyone has this installed on rc4, would you care to share with me how you got it up and running?

[Anub1s]

0k i install it

just want to know how can i get 2+ signatures?

[Vivi Ornitier]

ya what's the vartitle for the last phrase??

[LeonHartHVA]

when u'll have final release

[LeonHartHVA]

SQL-query :

UPDATE userfield SET fieldX = 'First Signature'

MySQL said:


#1054 - Unknown column 'fieldX' in 'field list'

How can I fix it

[Vivi Ornitier]

can someone answer my question?

[Sulaiti]

Fix :nervous:

Phrase Type: User tool (global)
Varname:
Text: Signature Title

will be :

Phrase Type: User tool (global)
Varname: signature_title
Text: Signature Title


for vBulletin Version 3.0.1

find :

/includes/functions_showthread.php


$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature' . $post[showsignature], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);


Change to :

$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
