Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+...

This hack is now a Full Release!!!...You can visit the BETA thread here - I will still be using that thread to test out upcoming versions!

Please do the following before attempting to install:

1.) Backup your Files & Database before doing anything
2.) Be aware that although I have tested this myself, there may still be problems...If you do not backup your files & database, I cannot condone your install of this hack...

The files you should have are:

In the main folder
modifications.php
templates.php
queries.php
3.0 - Show Signatures.php
3.0 - Usergroup override - permissions.php
NEW INSTALL.php

In the root folder
signature.php

In the admin folder
signature.php

*================================================= ================================================== ==================*
Please Note:
The install files are in the ".php" format, as vBulletin.org Parses all "{ imagesfolder }" and other replacment variables
used in the code - With .php extensions, it does not.
*================================================= ================================================== ==================*

Updating from BETA

Depending on what version you are updating from, I recommend the following:

Version 1.0Beta - 2.1Beta - Complete re-install
Version 2.2Beta - Follow the instructions for the .php files starting "3.0", and there is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file
Version 3.0Beta - There is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file

v3+ comes out!
v3+ is really just the following:

Converting of all install files to .php format (to prevent code parsing)
Creation of an extra folder (root) to house the root/signature.php file (so you dont get confused with the install .php files)
The root/usercp.php modifcation I forgot to include

Enjoy!

I tried installing this hack and I recieved this error. Can anyone help me out?

PHP Code:

mysql error number: 1054 


EDIT: Found my answer on page 10. Forogt to run:
ALTER TABLE user ADD signatureid smallint(6) NOT NULL

This hack is SWEET. Thanks for your hard work!

This didn't work for me:

found it. it was in usercp.php

the section beginning

// ############################### start signature ###############################

$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=getsignatureurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=="") {
$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]="http://images/clear.gif";
}

needed to be replaced with this:


// ############################### start signature ###############################

$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=getsignatureurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=="") {
$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]="images/clear.gif";
}


where "images" = {"imagesfolder"} without "" (this board wont let me type in the exact code.

I had to use:

PHP Code:

  // ############################### start signature ###############################

$bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=getsignatureurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=="") {
    $bbuserinfo[signatureurl]=$bburl . "/{imagesfolder}/clear.gif";
  } 


[Chris M]

Hmm...

Then your { imagesfolder } variable is not configured correctly...

@Gemini - You will have to add the references to signature into member.php

I may sound stupid for asking, but WHERE are we supposed to add them? And by references do you mean the part that were looking for or the part that we are supposed to add. I am on vB 2.3.0 as well.

[Chris M]

The part you are supposed to add...

And after where it specifies in the install file

How do yo uget the signature image to show up in PMs?!?

[scri]

this is exactly what i'm looking for. I shall install this when i get home. I take it this allows certain user groups to be able to use images in their sigs?

Would it be possible to use an if statement to only make those images visable in particular forums?

thanks so much
