Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+...

This hack is now a Full Release!!!...You can visit the BETA thread here - I will still be using that thread to test out upcoming versions!

Please do the following before attempting to install:

1.) Backup your Files & Database before doing anything
2.) Be aware that although I have tested this myself, there may still be problems...If you do not backup your files & database, I cannot condone your install of this hack...

The files you should have are:

In the main folder
modifications.php
templates.php
queries.php
3.0 - Show Signatures.php
3.0 - Usergroup override - permissions.php
NEW INSTALL.php

In the root folder
signature.php

In the admin folder
signature.php

*================================================= ================================================== ==================*
Please Note:
The install files are in the ".php" format, as vBulletin.org Parses all "{ imagesfolder }" and other replacment variables
used in the code - With .php extensions, it does not.
*================================================= ================================================== ==================*

Files to edit: 9 (admin/functions.php, admin/user.php, root/member.php, root/showthread.php, root/register.php, root/online.php, root/global.php, root/usercp.php, admin/index.php)

Updating from BETA

Depending on what version you are updating from, I recommend the following:

Version 1.0Beta - 2.1Beta - Complete re-install
Version 2.2Beta - Follow the instructions for the .php files starting "3.0", and there is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file
Version 3.0Beta - There is one register.php modification and one usercp.php modification in the "modifications.php" file

v3+ comes out!
v3+ is really just the following:

Converting of all install files to .php format (to prevent code parsing)
Creation of an extra folder (root) to house the root/signature.php file (so you dont get confused with the install .php files)
The root/usercp.php modifcation I forgot to include

Enjoy!

That's already enabled.

When I manually changed the sig via Admin CP, it said it was successful, and all was fine, but it doesn't show up. It's the same problem HR3rdGen is having.

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm...

My guess is that you may have missed out a step...

Until I investigate this further (installing on a heavily hacked board), all i can say is try re-installing it

hmm, the readme:

NEW INSTALL
===========

"queries.txt"
"templates.txt"
"modifications.txt"
"3.0B - Show Signatures.txt"
"3.0 - Usergroup override - permissions.txt"

Then upload the admin/signature.php to the admin folder, and signature.php to the vB root folder

-------------

Well i did that, i put the files you listed in the main vb directory since you dont specify where to upload them and well nothing happens

[sauron2002]

oh i see u have to do loads of other stuf, bah

[CRego3D]

this hack is not easy to install .. got a ton of steps to go thru

[Chris M]

Indeed...It isnt easy...

But it is easier than the BETA

Satan

[shaith]

So do we have an update for what changes need to be made to usercp.php (and where to put them) ?

[Herman]

Seems very interesting I may use that and test everything for my upcoming surprise..hehhe

Do you mean as in not enable signatures?

Sure...

Just remove the following from the "post_signature" template:

$post[signatureimg]

and add it to the postbit template, where you want it to appear

Then edit the postbit_signatureimg template, and remove the :

<br>

at the beginning...

Satan

is there a way we can make the

$post[signatureimg]

work from the postbit_signature template if you dont' have a sig ? I have a graphical seperator, and if I use the technique you describe here, it wont' show .. if I put it on the postbit (the seperator) then it will show for those who have no sig .. can we do somethign about it ?

[Chris M]

Hmmm...

Im not sure I understand...
