Yes, another signature limit hack. But with a little twist

. After installing PPN's excellent Sig Editor hack, I felt the "suspended" signature option needed to have an enforcer of some sort. I know from experience that when I edited signatures in the past (mostly for being rediculously long) the user just turns around and puts the old sig back up.

I search the board and one of the old signature limits hacks has been removed by the author and others were outdated, so here we go.

This hack will limit the line breaks in the signature but also splits the image limit setting in 2, so you can have different image limits for posts and signatures. So the smilie limit in posts doesn't have to suffer if you are trying to curb signature image abuse

, and I believe it has been requested here as well in the past.

Both settings can be configured in the Admin Control Panel. Don't forget to back up all the goods before installing

Using it now to limit the signature to only 5 lines.

It's not working for me either. I have it set to 3 images, but someone still manages to use 4.

Ok I found out why.

This hack has a flaw in it. If someone uses the [img] VB code or the <img> HTML it works. If someone uses <IMG> with capital letters, it doesn't work.

Hum, doesnt work on 2.5.5/6 either, just ignores it all together. This would have really been usefull.

Hmm...a bit odd...I installed the hack and it seemed to work all right, but when I tried to edit my profile and push the sig limit, it gave me a blank template - i.e. there was no fetching of the template text to put in. I've attached a screenshot (I cropped it just to show the kind of screen I'm getting).

Any idea on what I might have done wrong? As far as I know I think I did everything correctly.

EDIT: Well, I fixed the problem temporarily by making the function to fetch the template point to the "toomanyimages" template, which I know works. This makes me think I did something wrong when making my templates, but I can't figure out what. I'm all working now, but if someone could give me insight on what I may have done wrong with creating these new templates, that would be great.

BTW, great hack ^_^

I've got the same problem......any suggest?

Working for me, now I'm wondering if it's possible to limit the physical dimensions...I would love to stop my users from using anything bigger than 100H by 500W.

Anyone? Beuller?

I too am getting complaints about some users on my site using large sig pics. A size limit addition to this would be great.

Sorry, am using Version 2.2.4 and after installing the hack and modifying the .php Files the logout and login function of my board doesnt work anymore

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
