Sig Editor

A nice link in the post which allows moderators, super moderators and admins to edit the signature of other users. There is also protection to stop the user changing the signature of other admins and moderators. A nice tick box is also present to allow you to suspend the signature without having to type in the message.

Hack suggested by Matt.

Updated to allow the original admin, ie the person with userid 1 to edit the sigs of any user via this interface instead of having to go to the admin panel. Sorted a bug with this that only let the person with userid 1 update.

Please everyone download the file and apply the changes to moderator.php again

No it doesn't log what moderator did it as I trust all my moderators and therefore don't mind them changing the sig of a normal user.
If you use Overgrows Mod logging hack then this could be easily modified to include editing sigs.

hmm ... can this hack be modified so that only admins and supermods can change the sig?

[Scott MacVicar]

you'll see

PHP Code:

  if ($permissions[ismoderator] || $ismod=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]")) { 


mentioned twice in the cost you have to paste in to moderator.php simply change that to

PHP Code:

  if ($permissions[ismoderator]) {

thanks
it works great

[Radon3k]

Nice, thanks man!


Edit: When you suspend the sig, for how long is it suspended? Just for that post? Just for that thread? Or until you allow it again? Or does that just make it to where the user can't change it after you have changed it? Thanks man!

it just changes the content of their sig within their profile to whatever you have the value of the template.

They can simply re-edit it again but most users take the hint when you change their signature :P

I'm just getting a white screen when I click edit sig.. I followed it step by step and double checked my work to see if I missed anything. Any ideas?

I am getting the same blank pop up window... I have tried everything... I gave up for the Holiday weekend... but it is killing me seeing only a white screen. It worked fine before we updated to 2.2.1. After the update it did not work. So we reinstalled the hack and still does not work.

I'm running the same version of the board as you. I installed several other hacks with no problems. However, I am still getting this white screen. I guess it's not compatible with my board :stupid:

[Scott MacVicar]

check the templates and make sure the adjustments to moderator.php wasn't removed as this was pretty much the hack.
