Signature Image System

Signature Image Management System (file based)

Updated: 27 June 2002, 12:22 AM BST

This hack allows users to upload a image or images that they can then use as part of the thier signature. All uploaded images are private to the user that uploaded them.

The hack requires that you have PHP 4.1.0 or newer for the upload functions to work correctly. PHP 4.0.6 can be used with modifications (not recommended).

The scripts can if enabled also prevent users from externally linking to the images they uploaded, please note this is done by HTTP_REFERER checking not all http servers or browsers support this however is more widely supported than Apache's mod_rewrite. Should you wish to stop deep linking then upload a image called badcontent.gif to your forums directory.

Further more instructions are provided in how to get this hack to work if you are using vBulletin's standard sig editor or a advanced sig editor hack.

Version 2.0 Updates
- remote storage support
- sig.php nolonger appears in online.php
- special [sig] vB code is used instead of [img] tags

Version 1.3 Updates
- fixed display bug
- added removal script to main package
- added test template set


Version 1.11 Updates
- Image width & height checking

Current Version 1.3
Released 20th sept 2001

Requirements:

Ok here is what I get now that its working. I sure do suck today at doing stuff. lol

I'm having the same problem, it's not showing up anywhere in my CP at all....

this isn't because I'm an admin or something?

I've done the install exactly.

help plz.

Russell>I think the zip he gave us is bad because mine still didnt work but he then sent me via email his template files for the sig stuff and it worked fine. So somewhere in his instructions something is wrong for the templates.

heh, okay c-prompt the location must be absolute location to somewhere eg. /home/c-prompt/images/sigs or say /home/c-prompt/public_html/images/sigs

[dabean]

For those having trouble with style's I've attached a basic style set with just the sig templates.

Attachment removed now part of the main release package

dabean> Thank you for all the help. I do appreciate it. I finally got it work. Although, I lost my original templates because I messed up and am an idiot. lol

Sorry -

How do I use that Style file?

[dabean]

Styles > upload/download

Then "Upload existing style set: (from your computer)"
selecting "no, create a new style"

Now in the admin cp set your style (for YOUR profile only) to the uploaded style. Then go and look in change profile in your cp, too see if the sig image bits appear.

If they do then just check the templates provided against your own templates to see if any are missing. If they are just manually add them (copy paste is quickest).

and if they still don't ?

I'm sure I've done this right... is there anything I can send you to check it?

thanks.

[dabean]

If you can't get it to work with the provided style file then something is wrong with code, or alternatively check you are looking at the site via the alternative style set. eg in your case
http://buffy.inscifi.net/forums/index.php?styleid=2

definately something wrong with the code then.. because the 2nd style set is fairly obvious when it's used

any suggestions?

[dabean]

check member.php

make sure the code you added is before
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("modifyprofile")."\ ");");

Check all the templates exist particularlly sig_images, sig_images_alter, sig_images_none & sig_images_bit

If any are missing redownload the first zip file and check I provided them in the instructions.

They're all there... not a template problem I think.. but it should be shouldn't it

im getting the same errors as c was befor i cant figure it out and is there anyway i can uninstall the whole thing
