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!

Mupetz, no problem ... I kinda figured others would encounter it, so that's why I posted it ...

StrifeX, any news or thoughts on when the External FileSize Limiter for Sigs will be released?

Sorry, but no I don't really plan on releasing that soon. I'm a bit busy atm, I should be able to get to another update in a month or two.

Not sure why, but I was getting an error similar to the one that is fixed by changing the php.ini settings, even though I had that setting to on.

Then I realized that I had an old version, as I'd downloaded this a while back and kind of forgot about it. So I installed the latest version and it's working great now!

Combined with sinaluna's CSS Sig size limiter, this will hopefully solve 99.9% of sig issues now. As your hack will restrict the size of individual images, and the CSS one limits the total area that a signature takes up [imgs + text].

Abe Babe...

does this mod work with 3.6.8 ?

[peterpigman]

Is there no way to do this without the php.ini file? i had to remove it to get vbseo to work and when i put it back it kills the site.

Works perfectly on vB 3.6.8 ... Any news on the FileSize Limiter StrifeX?

[scarex80]

$maxsigweight=40000;
;
function check_sig_size($sig)
{
    global $maxsigwidth, $maxsigheight, $maxsigweight, $errors, $vbulletin;
    $sig = str_replace(array('  ', '\\"'), array('', '"'), $sig);
    $ary_header = get_headers($sig, 1);                  
    $imgdimension = $ary_header['Content-Length']; 
    
    if ($imginfo = getimagesize($sig))
    {
        if ($imginfo[0] > $maxsigwidth or $imginfo[1] > $maxsigheight or $imgdimension>$maxsigweight)
        {
            $vbulletin->GPC['preview'] = 'true';
            $errors[] = fetch_error('signaturetoobig', $maxsigwidth, $maxsigheight,$maxsigweight);
        }
    }
}

With the addings in red, I'm now able to check even the size in bytes of the images It works on 3.6.8

[Dannyloski]

^ I tried that, but I get this error when I hit "Save Signature" or "Preview Signature" on the Signature Page ... I added it to the Plugin ...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_headers() in /home/talkjdm/public_html/profile.php(1210) : eval()'d code on line 20
