Thank You!

btw for those curious, this change is done in the USERCP_SHELL Template

I have a problem :/
The only image that will ever come up is if a member has a custom avatar. Otherwise it doesn't sow. Also, the image then shows the custom avatar as opposed to the uploaded sig. This is not helpful... >_<

PS: Help please :nervous:

Well I've just gone over the steps for the 3rd time and I'm done going over them. I've installed many hacks successfully before so I know I'm not totally incompetent. 1) The options don't appear in the admin panel (under usergroups) and 2) in the User CP when you click the link to upload your signature it takes me to a blank page.

I'm running version 3.0.6 and I've gone through every page of this thread, including the link to the forum where the coder of this hack gives support but has a message saying he's having issues and won't be around for a while.

If anyone has any ideas please share. But I think I'll try installing another one, preferably one that works.

[Glenn379]

Yes, just so you know, the other one is more simple and does indeed work! Danny has released the hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76740

Hi would this hack sole this problem for me?

I have disabled signatures to all users on my VB 3. However I would like to be able to allow a certain 2 usergroups the abilty to be able to use images in thier signatures. The two user groups are:

1. Paying Members - We are turning our site into an offical club and this would be one of the advantages to being a "paid" member.

2. Supporting Traders - We have a number of companies wanting to advertise with us and this is one of the benifits they would like. As the use the forums as well as the members.

I would also like to do this for avaitors?

Many thanks for any help.

[Logikos]

Yes you can enable/disable this feature fot certain usergroups

I have installed this hack on my forum at:
http://www.underworld-chaos.net/boards and I remember contacting the creator of this hack for assistance cuz I ran into some lil problems (which are still left unsolved and need to be fixed). I am wondering if the creator has updated and released a new version with all the bugs fixed since than.

I remember I was unable to upload signature graphics and if they did upload they did not show..my question to the creator of this hack...were you able to fix this lil bug?

[bigwest]

This hack would be really cool except....

A. I don't want certain usergroups to images in their signature at all. This hack will not solve this issue.

B. The user CP option for this hack does not show up properly or at all in some themes.

Otherwise... super cool!
