Sig show for specific user.

[cgwillis]

I find most sigs annoying on the board that I use, but every once in a while I want to see someone's sig. It's really annoying to have to go to the control panel, turn sigs on, save, go back to the post, look, and then go through the process again just to view one sig. What I think would be a GREAT feature would be:

*If you have sigs turned off, there would be a box (or something)in the postbit that would let you show the sig temporarily, either in a window or in something that would simply show the sig in that one post.

Yeah, so how hard would THIS be?

Not very

Open root/member.php
Find:

// ############################### start modify options ###############################

Add above:

// ############################### user cant see sigs ###############################
if ($action=="cantseesigs") {
$templatesused = "nosigs";
include("./global.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) {
show_nopermission();
exit;
} 
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET showsignatures='0' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
$goto="showthread.php?s=&threadid=$threadid";
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("nosigs")."\",\"$goto\");");
exit;
}

// ############################### user can see sigs ###############################
if ($action=="canseesigs") {
$templatesused = "showsigs";
include("./global.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) {
show_nopermission();
exit;
} 
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET showsignatures='1' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
$goto="showthread.php?s=&threadid=$threadid";
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("showsigs")."\",\"$goto\");");
exit;
}

Add to the phpinclude template:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) {
if ($bbuserinfo[showsignatures]==1) {
$siggies=<a href=\"member.php?s=&action=cantseesigs\">No Signaturess</a>;
}else {
$siggies=<a href=\"member.php?s=&action=canseesigs\">Show Signatures</a>;
}
}

Now edit the postbit template, and add:

$siggies

wherever you want...

Now add 2 templates:
Name: showsigs
Content:

Signatures turned on

Name: nosigs
Content:

Signatures turned off

hmm, intresting way

i'd say a javascript for those who have sigs disabled would look better, but i don't know JS well, so impossible for me

Chris, you are learning fast, good job.. :glasses:

[Chris M]

Thanks

Your visibility/invisibility hack gave me the idea though

@Xenon - Me neither, so I did it the old-fashioned way

When I add the code for the phpinclude, I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /usr/home/www/temputrave.org/messageboard/global.php(329) : eval()'d code on line 10

I don't get it because your code looks correct. ?

Note that the code won't work in the postbit unless you add:

PHP Code:

global $siggies 


to the bulidpostbit function in admin/functions.php
