Signature Image System

Signature Image Management System (file based)

Updated: 27 June 2002, 12:22 AM BST

This hack allows users to upload a image or images that they can then use as part of the thier signature. All uploaded images are private to the user that uploaded them.

The hack requires that you have PHP 4.1.0 or newer for the upload functions to work correctly. PHP 4.0.6 can be used with modifications (not recommended).

The scripts can if enabled also prevent users from externally linking to the images they uploaded, please note this is done by HTTP_REFERER checking not all http servers or browsers support this however is more widely supported than Apache's mod_rewrite. Should you wish to stop deep linking then upload a image called badcontent.gif to your forums directory.

Further more instructions are provided in how to get this hack to work if you are using vBulletin's standard sig editor or a advanced sig editor hack.

Version 2.0 Updates
- remote storage support
- sig.php nolonger appears in online.php
- special [sig] vB code is used instead of [img] tags

Version 1.3 Updates
- fixed display bug
- added removal script to main package
- added test template set


Version 1.11 Updates
- Image width & height checking
- Extension checking
- More useful error messages
- Added a missing function

Current Version 1.3
Released 20th sept 2001

Requirements:
- vBulletin 2.0.3
- PHP 4.0.3+ (this hack has not been tested on PHP 3.0.17, it may or may not work)

Optional:
- HTTP Server that supports HTTP_REFERER, (Apache 1.2+, IIS 4+)
- badcontent.gif in your forum directory


Screenshots can be found in the zip file.

thanks dabean!

works like a charm, great hack.

ack, i'll actually include the updated files in the zip this time. Anyone that downloaded the "4B" zip has the most current files.

One more minnor correction the post slightly further up should suggest that the change to make is

opener.document.vbform.signature.value += "[sig="+sigtext+"]";

not
opener.document.vbform.signature.value += "[sig="+sigtext+"]\";

For some reason the upload keeps failing on me i have no errors the image is not to big. Everythings set the way it should be set. Im running into walls here anybody got any ideas.

[eXtremeTim]

Okay its working now all i get is red X boxes every were but the actualy image path itself works.

[eXtremeTim]

hmm this is weird if i put &debug= after the image id stuff it loads the image just fine.

Sorry about all the posts but i got it. The bug fix for the red x's was not correctly put into the new version aparently becuase i replaced the current with the what you posted minus the \ and it worked perfectly.

You started (intially) with which version? and used which posted fix to correct it?

The most current zip should include all fixes for new installations, older installations will need to use the posted fixed.

I started with the newest version. It worked perfectly after i did the new line

With

function sigimg(sigtext) {
opener.document.vbform.signature.value += "[sig="+sigtext+"]\";
}

it didn't work till after i did that i must have test 40 images and they were all red x's till i did that. Then when i uploaded they started working.

well I have a super easy one, compared to what I ahve been reading,


I just need to know where the vb images are set in the pop up window, my sigs are working fine, its just that the actual vb images are linking to http://www.classicaka.com........www.../fourms/images

instead of just www.classicaka.com/vb/forum/images

any help would be greatly appreciated
