[RELEASE] Sig Length Limit

Trying to keep this simple, as I need it for my site now (some guy posted a 34 line, 7kb sig). Set $siglimit to the number of lines you want to be.

This is not particularly efficient, but it will limit sigs already in place. So...

showthread.php, find:

      $signature= "\n__________________\n$userinfo[signature]";

Replace with:

      $signature= "\n__________________\n";
      $splitsig = explode("\n", $userinfo[signature]);
      $siglimit = 6;
      if (count($splitsig)>$siglimit) {
      	for ($i=0;$i<$siglimit;$i++) {
      		$signature .= "$splitsig[$i]\n";
      	}
      } else {
      	$signature .= "$userinfo[signature]";
      }

Tada! Remember to set $siglimit to what you want!

Yes, you are completely correct. Keep in mind that the only reason I actually did this hack was to stop the ASCII art fad at my boards. And there you NEED to stick \n's in. A long quote would get around it though.

i think i've come across other boards with a signature limit too, but they do it by limiting the amount of characters (not by limiting the max characters in the form text box html, but instead checked by the script on submission)

do'able?

Im using 2.0.3 and I cant find what im spose to replace it with, Its not in showethread.php can anyone help?

It is most likely in admin/functions.php

As for the sig hack, I think its great. I have found a small work around for the sig image size. I just created a new BB code and the html specifies the dimensions of the image. the only thing about that is, if the image is a different size than whats specified, it stretches the image to the size specified.

Thanks A lot!

I was fudging around and decided to try making a character limit, a total lines limit, as well as an image size limit for sigs, controllable from the Control Panel. I guess something would have to be added to make it look for <br>'s as well - might as well make it totally functional.

Jim, that's perfect! Could you please keep us updated on progress with this?

Thanks,

Good stuff.. I like the little simple stuff like this. Just installed (?) it today.

I'm still hoping for JimF or someone to make it able to limit the size of images in sigs also ... that would make my life much easier!
