This add-on had been produced and distributed by Hybrid-Soft.

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Name:
External Signature Image Size Limiter

Description:
Unlike vBulletin does, this hack limits the size of external images in signatures depending on the dimensions you choose.

Features:
- On/Off Switch
- Set max image width.
- Set max image height.

Installation Instructions:
1. Unzip the folder.
2. Upload 'product-hs_sigimgsize.xml' to the Product Manager in the vBulletin AdminCP.
3. Manage Settings via AdminCP => vBulletin Options => vBulletin Options => HS - External Signature Image Size Limiter

Credits:
Chris M for the base code.

Information:
Plugins: 1
Phrases: 2

Installation Difficulty: Very Easy
Installation Duration: 10- seconds.

Important: In order to update you must uninstall the old product and upload the new one.

Before installing, check your php.ini file for this setting:
allow_url_fopen = on

If it's off, turn it on. Otherwise this won't work.

To make this hack delete all signatures so users must put there signatures in again: In the Admin CP, go to > Update Counters > Empty Signature Cache.

This mod can be improved, so with all of your help, by suggesting new ideas and reporting bugs, I can modify and play around with this product to improve it.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install if you use!

I've installed and followed the instructions to the letter but it still allows users to post any size they wish.

Can anyone tell me this will work in 3.6.7? I'm starting to feel dumb. :/

Thanks!

^ What other Hacks do you have installed?

Have you gone into the Plugin Manager and set up the width and height accordingly?

AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Scroll down to Product : HS - External Signature Image Size Limiter > [Edit] > Change the top 2 Options under "// Set max image width and height"

Hack updated, some of you may like it more.

Great job! I like the fact that the upgrade now supports the fact that you can edit the Width & Height via the AdminCP, rather then having to change the info manually in the Plugins section.

Any thoughts of creating a FileSize Hack for External Images?

In addition, I have tried using the Admin CP > Update Counters > Empty Signature Cache Setting, but it's still not making this hack apply to users who already have signatures over the limit ... Any suggestions?

Is there a change history between the versions somewhere? It's not in the read me and I'd like to see if the changes made in this version warrant an upgrade. Thanks.

Thanks for the update. The filesize option would be great for a future release. I hate it when people add gifs that are over 1MB in size.

The filesize option is planned for a future upgrade.

All that does is clear out current signatures so they'll have to re-enter their signature. In short, it's a more complex way of doing it than it sounds. Then again, it's the only way.

You're welcome, and as I said above, the filesize option is planned for a future upgrade.
