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!

can anyone help, once the user has uploaded there sig it appears as a red x. I am using vb 2.3.0

[Kruppa]

I saw the question was asked on the thread but nobody answered. :disappointed:

Can this hack be used in only one user group? Like if I have a group for premium members and I only want them to be able to use it, can this be done?

I know I'm months late but I saw this going through the thread to find a fix. By the way thanks Satan for the height restriction fix!

When I was done installing the hack I had the same problem, I got the "The administrator has disabled the use of signature images." message even though everything was ok. For some reason, without mnodifying everything in the admin panel I click on submit modifications and it worked after that. Strange but who cares, as long as it works.

This was a huge hack for a multiple styles board with tons of hacks (about 40 hacks) but the instructions were awesome and after a few hours and some 100+ templates it works FLAWLESSLY on 2.3.0! I have tried probably every single one on this board, and THIS is THE one! Thank you so very much for this. I can only imagine how much time and work you put into this, but let me tell you every single time I see that sig is too big message appear on my board I'll be thanking you!
**Gleefully clicks install**

[jugo]

NE 1 know if this is available for vb3.
I NEED IT!!!

[sully02]

Yes... If this could be ported over for vb3, there would be many many happy campers!
