so, this completely replaces the signature, or just adds onto the user's own unique signature?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I actually only came back here to get this mod for another forum that I have.

I ended up fixing this problem. What I was trying to do is add an ad in the sig whenever users hadn't created a signature. What I did was change the banner rotation invocation code to an iframe, and that solved the problem completely.

This modification works with vBulletin 3.7.2 Patch Level 1.
The MEMBERINFO template edit DOES NOT work because the coding has changed but is NOT need to be edited for this modification to work...I'm sure the memberinfo_aboutme is this template's replacement but I don't know what to edit/update.

i got it to work here

fined:

</table>

<!-- link bar -->

and above add this:

<!-- default signature -->
<else />
$default_signature
<!-- default signature -->

it will look like this;

<!-- default signature -->
<else />
$default_signature
<!-- default signature -->
</table>

<!-- link bar -->

that worked for me:up:

Still working in vB 3.8.1 flawlessly. I had to update my templates so I basically had to re-install this hack because I accidentally overwrote the template edits for this hack to work.

Follow the above instructions in the first post. You do NOT need to edit the MEMBERINFO template.

Edit both postbit and postbit_legacy templates with the instructions above for postbit_legacy. Also follow the instructions for the USERCP templates...

Then set the default signature in vB settings > Default signature and you'll see your default sig go live.

Edit: I nominate this hack for MOTM.

Thanks,

Auto Populate Signature With Custom Profile Fields

Question is there anyway to use this hack to auto populate the default signature with profile fields that new members have to enter during registration?

I have a number of custom profile fields that are required during registration. For all new members I type in for them their signatures.

I need the following info to be auto added into all new members signatures:

{Username}
{Membership Category} - {Grade Level} {School Name}
{City}, {State} {Country}

Each of the above bracketed items is a custom field except: {Username}

Anyone know how to achieve this?

NOTE: Since HTML is supported in the field where we specify the default signature... is there a html code way to call each member's custom fields into their signature using this mod? I am in dire need to have this on my site.
