Signature "Line Limiter"

[paulyy]

I don't understand number 2, or how to turn debug on?

Can someone explain this a little better please.

[assassingod]

To turn on Debug Mode, open includes/config.php and find:

PHP Code:

$cookieprefix = 'bb'; 


Beneath that, add

PHP Code:

// Debug Mode, 1 on 0 off
$debug = '1'; 


I suggest turning this off when you're finished as well.

Is there a way to put in a maximum image size if images are allowed in signature? That would be WONDERFUL!

[paulyy]

Thanks Assassingod

This code stops the viewing of sigantures completely?

EDIT: Nevermind yes it does

1. Create the following phrase in phrasegroup Front-End Error Messages
   varname = sigtoomanylines
   text = Your signature can not be longer than $vboptions[maxsiglines] lines.
2. In vBulletin Options/User Profile Options create the following setting:
   varname = maxsiglines
   title = Maximum signature lines
   description = The maximum number of lines anyone can use in their signature.
   default = 4
   vBulletin Standard = No
3. In profile.php FIND
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($vboptions['maximages'] != 0)
{
  require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
  $parsedsig = parse_bbcode($signature, 0, $vboptions['allowsmilies'], 1); 

   REPLACE that with
   
   PHP Code:

   if ($vboptions['maxsiglines'] != 0) {
  require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');
  require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
  $parsedsig = parse_bbcode($signature, 0, $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
  $siglines = 0;
  $siglines += fetch_character_count($parsedsig, '<br');
  $siglines += fetch_character_count($parsedsig, '<blockquote');
  $siglines += fetch_character_count($parsedsig, '<pre');
  if ($siglines > $vboptions[maxsiglines]-1) {
    $preview = 'true';
    eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('sigtoomanylines', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');
  }
}

if ($vboptions['maximages'] != 0)
{
  if (!$parsedsig) {
    require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
    $parsedsig = parse_bbcode($signature, 0, $vboptions['allowsmilies'], 1);
  } 


I also have NO IDEA how to do #2??? :ermm:

Turn on Debug mode, go into that Options Page and Create the Setting.

I think "How do I create a new setting" should be added to vB.org FAQ (if it is not already there), as this is a common task

[paulyy]

On the first page of this thread assassingod explains how to do it

I also got it working on my forum, so if you need a hand PM me

KirbyDE.....you so rock!!

This has been a pain in my side since version 2.0!! lol

The old sig hack was easily worked around by not using line breaks, and what you did works a charm!!

I wish I could click installed!
