I got The phrase to show up by manually adding another phrase called allowsig1 with the same text, "Allow Signatures ?" to the Global phrases from the admin CP Phrase Manager. After you add that, edit the admincp/user.php file, and find this:

PHP Code:

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allowsig'], 'user[allowsig]', $user['allowsign']); 


With this line:

PHP Code:

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allowsig1'], 'user[allowsig]', $user['allowsig']); 


This takes care of both the text display on the admin CP and also the function of being able to update it. The default will now display as "Yes" instead of "No"

Yes, I added it to my mod profile editor, that way only mods that you give profile editing permissions to are able to disable sigs. In the /modcp/user.php file, find:

PHP Code:

print_input_row($vbphrase['icq_uin'], 'user[icq]', $user['icq'], 0); 


And above it insert:

PHP Code:

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allowsig1'], 'user[allowsig]', $user['allowsig']); 


Note: this will only work if you have completed the fixes I listed in my thread above.

No problem!

Ok signatues are automatically set to no when a user registers. How can I make it so its not?

[tnguy3n]

@ SternFan, thanks for the bug fix, but technically, you don't have to add any additional phrase. There's one typo, $user['allowsign'] , which should be $user['allowsig'] .
I updated the instruction, it should work now.

For those who installed and didn't have it worked, open admincp/user.php,
FIND:

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allowsig'], 'user[allowsig]', $user['allowsign']);

REPLACE WITH:

print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allowsig'], 'user[allowsig]', $user['allowsig']);

@ babolo , it's possible, but it requires addional hack in register.php file.
