Postbit Legacy - Signature Inside a Cell

Ever hate the horizontal line in the signatures? Well here is a great way to separate your signatures and give your forum a nice and clean vertical look. This is for the Postbit_Legacy template layout. I will help with this mod. I am not an expert coder so if anyone wants to give advice it is totally welcomed in a constructive fashion. Enjoy!!!

Find:

PHP Code:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]

Remove Code in Between Here

$template_hook[postbit_signature_end] 


Find:

PHP Code:

        $template_hook[postbit_controls]
        <!-- / controls -->
    </td>
</tr>
</table> 


Add Below:

PHP Code:

<table class="signature" width="100%">
        <if condition="$post['signature']">
            <tr>
            <td class="alt2">
                <!-- sig -->
                <div>
                    $post[signature]
                </div>
                <!-- / sig -->
            </td>
            </tr>
        </if>  
</table> 


Add in the additional CSS Area of Your Template

PHP Code:

.signature { 
border-left: solid 1px #0B198C;
border-right: solid 1px #0B198C;
border-bottom: solid 1px #0B198C;
background: #FFFFFF;
} 


For the above code I suggest matching this with your .tborder values. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone, if people want to post there variation, post it up here in the thread. This is a super simple but clean way of organizing those pesky signatures.

Thanks so much for your post, and your graciousness too.
I ultimately used your post as pointers on where to change the stock signature. I wasn't totally happy with the changes as you wrote them, so I haven't marked as installed, but I used your post to help me modify the signature to look better.... I always hated that stupid __________ line, and always wanted a different background, so instead of doing just as you said, and adding anything to the exra css, I simply changed the postbit legacy code a bit, and I am much happier with the appearance now.

As per your encouragement to share, here is my template hook for the sig now:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]
    <if condition="$post['signature']">
  <!-- sig --><br /><br />
   <div span class='alt2'>
    <hr>
    $post[signature]
   </div>
  <!-- / sig -->
  </if>
  $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

This is what mine looks like now - I also moved it to above the controls.

Good pointer! I actually used some CSS code to put a height contrained box with scroll bars for sigs. Nice and clean! That ______ is so annoying! Ever replacing with an HR makes it looks cleaner.

Hi guys, do you mind in sharing screenshoots for your new ideas ? May be not all will use but would be nice to have even more new ideas, you know, like people say: images "say" more than words.

Tks

You are right!
I just added a screenshot to my original post with the applicable code. If you like the avatar block's look, check out the Postbit Tabs mod by Digital Jedi that I incorporated at the same time. I just need to make myself some smaller control buttons now, and I think I will be happy/done for a while.
