Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+...

This hack is now a Full Release!!!...You can visit the BETA thread here - I will still be using that thread to test out upcoming versions!

Please do the following before attempting to install:

1.) Backup your Files & Database before doing anything
2.) Be aware that although I have tested this myself, there may still be problems...If you do not backup your files & database, I cannot condone your install of this hack...

The files you should have are:

In the main folder
modifications.php
templates.php
queries.php
3.0 - Show Signatures.php
3.0 - Usergroup override - permissions.php
NEW INSTALL.php

In the root folder
signature.php

In the admin folder
signature.php

*================================================= ================================================== ==================*
Please Note:
The install files are in the ".php" format, as vBulletin.org Parses all "{ imagesfolder }" and other replacment variables
used in the code - With .php extensions, it does not.
*================================================= ================================================== ==================*

Updating from BETA

Depending on what version you are updating from, I recommend the following:

Version 1.0Beta - 2.1Beta - Complete re-install
Version 2.2Beta - Follow the instructions for the .php files starting "3.0", and there is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file
Version 3.0Beta - There is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file

v3+ comes out!
v3+ is really just the following:

Converting of all install files to .php format (to prevent code parsing)
Creation of an extra folder (root) to house the root/signature.php file (so you dont get confused with the install .php files)
The root/usercp.php modifcation I forgot to include

Enjoy!

the styles?

you mean templates? no matter what I do the path to the image remains http://images/clear.gif without the proper branching for my forum. did i miss something, you think?

[Chris M]

You have to modify the styles in the "images path" section...

Also make sure you have the "Bulletin Board Url" section filled in

Satan

[Palyntir]

i do. i've got both of those filled out. doyou mean the url info in the signature.php...if so im pretty sure i have that done as well...my board is http://ladder.iglnet.com/forums if youd like to have a look.

[Chris M]

Hmmm...

Im not sure whats wrong then

Satan

[Palyntir]

me neither, but its driving me nuts!! haha one little thing and ill be done

the problem seems to be that its looking for http://images/clear.gif instead of just images/clear.gif...but im not sure where to look to change that..its not in the templates, i dont think

[Palyntir]

found it. it was in usercp.php

the section beginning

// ############################### start signature ###############################

$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=getsignatureurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=="") {
$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]="http://images/clear.gif";
}

needed to be replaced with this:

// ############################### start signature ###############################

$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=getsignatureurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=="") {
$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]="images/clear.gif";
}

where "images" = {"imagesfolder"} without "" (this board wont let me type in the exact code.

[Chris M]

I see

Thank you for that

I will update the file

Thanks for the hack, but I got an error.

When I go to my user cp it gives this error:

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT user.signatureid,signaturepath,NOT ISNULL(signaturedata) AS hascustom,customsignature.dateline

LEFT JOIN signature ON signature.signatureid=user.signatureid

WHERE user.userid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'user.signatureid' in 'field list'

What did I do wrong? I followed all the instructions..

Thanks in advance.

[Chris M]

Have you made sure that you ran the MySQL Queries?

[Shadow_NL]

Wow fast responce, I'm pretty sure I've added them all. Any idea what I could do? Add them again or so?

Thanks in advance.
