New Neater Signature Style · **Released**: 11-28-2009

This is my very first mod post so be gentle lol

I re-arranged how the signatures display on my forum as I don't like the default....and would like to give back to the community by sharing

**Please save your original template code before modifying**

In Postbit Templates

For postbit_legacy:

Find:

PHP Code:


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

Replace with:

PHP Code:


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

Find:

PHP Code:


			
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
        $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

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

Save and enjoy

For postbit:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
        $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

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

        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
        $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

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

            <fieldset class="signature">
<legend>Signature</legend>
                
                $post[signature]
            </fieldset>
        <!-- / sig -->
        </if>

        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Save and enjoy

The code contains the word signature which can be changed to your language if different, just find and edit:

PHP Code:


			
<legend>Signature</legend>

Lastly, add some css in the Additional CSS Definitions in Style Manager to style the signature fieldset how you like

PHP Code:


			
.signature { 
    border: solid 1px #bdbfdd; 
    margin: 5px; 
    padding: 10px; 
    color: #000000; 
    background: #ffffff;
}

For post previewing, New Posting Templates >> newpost_preview

Find:

PHP Code:


			
            <div>__________________<br />
            $post[signature]</div>

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
            <fieldset class="signature">
<legend>Signature</legend>
                
                $post[signature]
            </fieldset>

Hopefully I have done this right and some can make nice use of it

***Revision 4th December: Removed unnecessary table cell code from postbit replacement plus border style from table cell in postbit_legacy

That did the trick! Thank you.

christon26 · #13 12-03-2009, 07:53 PM

My pleasure

worried · #14 12-04-2009, 05:44 AM

Installed! Thanks for the postbit fix. I'm glad someone else asked about it.

worried · #15 12-04-2009, 06:21 AM

The signature needs to be changed in the newpost_preview template as well. Could you show us the changes?

christon26 · #16 12-04-2009, 06:50 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot I changed mine there as well LOL

Find:

PHP Code:


			
            <div>__________________<br />
            $post[signature]</div>

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
            <fieldset class="signature">
<legend>Signature</legend>
                
                $post[signature]
            </fieldset>

Silencer Groans · #17 12-06-2009, 06:43 AM

christon26 · #18 12-06-2009, 07:48 AM

You're welcome! Please mark Installed if you've implemented it

zapiy · #19 12-07-2009, 07:53 PM

I love the way the siggy's are forces width ways.. But can i make this work the same but minus the boarder..

Cheers

christon26 · #20 12-07-2009, 08:07 PM

Yup, just remove the fieldset and legend and replace with a div so you can still style it...like so...

From:

Code:

            <fieldset class="signature">
<legend>Signature</legend>
                
                $post[signature]
            </fieldset>

to:

Code:

            <div class="signature">$post[signature]
</div>

ChopSuey · #21 01-02-2010, 11:41 AM

HTML Code:

<fieldset class="signature">
<legend>Signature - <if condition="$show['member']"><a href="/profile.php?do=editsignature">Edit</a></if></legend>

A little something i did for my board, let them edit theirs also
