Signature forced to bottom (postbit_legacy)

This mod will force all user's signatures to the bottom of their post. This is helpful if you have custom fields displayed under your avatars. Only 3 code changes are required in the postbit_legacy template. It'll take you about one minute to install this.

I have attached a couple screenshots showing what this mod does. I also have enabled this on my forums and you can see an example there:

In postbit_legacy, find:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Change to:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Then find:

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

Delete it.


Now find:

		<!-- / edit note -->
		</if>
	
	</td>
</tr>

Directly underneath add:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]">

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		</td>
</tr>

Question: How do I force the "Edited by" note to the bottom along with the signature? I've tried many different types of div tags etc without success. Example: http://left4deadforums.com/20707-post7.html

NVM, I sorted it.

I didnt read the whole thread, but did anyone mention the hook locations? they werent moved with the sig...
you might want to try this chunk instead.

		$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Now ive read the thread, and am having a problem of my own with that damn line in my extremepixels skins.

Ive almost got it sorted but i still cant get the damn thing to go away.

using pieces of code throughout this thread ive come up with this so far. keep in mind im using other customizations as well..... so basically I need to find out where this border is being set and remove it.

PHP Code:

<tr valign="top">
    <!-- Signature Forced To Bottom Mod -->
    <if condition="$post['signature']">
        <td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="3" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">
    <else />
        <td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">
    </if>
    <!-- / Signature Forced To Bottom Mod --> 


PHP Code:

<!-- Signature Forced To Bottom -->
<if condition="$post['signature']">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]">
            $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
            $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]
        <if condition="$post['signature']">
                        <tr height="1">
                                <td class="alt1" valign="bottom">
                            <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
                            <div valign="bottom">
                                $post[signature]
                            </div>
                        </td>
                        </tr>
        </if>
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
        </td>
    </tr>
</if>

This change was incorrect.... so i edited this post.

ok ive seen what my problem is, its the cell spacing, however, the code to fix the cellspacing problem is different so i can find and replace the items mentioned.

Is there anyway you could tell me where those locations are to remove the cellspacing, but keep the borders?
