Signature only on first post

Signature only on first post VB3.6x

This will cause each user's signature to be shown only on their first post on each page vs. on every post during a thread listing.

In the postbit or postbit_legacy template,

Find :

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

And replace it with this one:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

There can be only one ! ~ The Highlander

Perhaps in a tiny way, as there will be less data on the page that may not have anything to do with the current page content.

I would have to do tests and results to say yes or no.

Work perfectly on vB 3.8.1, thank you, installed

I think I may be doing something wrong.... I keep getting a </if> missing error.
Is this missing a </if> statement?

Here is my code:

		$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

<!-- ****** Kill the Below to have only one signature per post ****** -->
<!-- ******    <if condition="$post['signature']">   ***** -->
<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">
<!-- ********* ABOVE IS FOR 1 signature per Post ******* -->

		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

Thanks in advance....

This mod works on 4.0 Publishing Suite with the one minor change below.

<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

Going to work on getting it limited to one post per thread.
