Signature only on first post

Signature only on first post VB3.5

This will cause each user's signature to be shown only on their first post on each page.

In the postbit or postbit_legacy template,

Find :

<if condition="$post['signature']">

And replace it with this one:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

There can be only one ! ~ The Highlander

/hits install.

Very useful, thanx for this.

it works for me on vb 3.5.2 editing the postbit and postbit_legacy


damn that quick reply thing is annoying though

[SparKeh]

Actually thats weird, when I post the second post using quick reply it shows my sig on my last post and removes it from my first post. I thought it was mean't to stay in the first post and no others?

Doesn't work for postbit_legacy.

Is there any way to make this a selectable option per user?

And delete that.

Yeah, that doesn't actually suppress the "display" of subsequent signatures for others...

...what it does is uncheck/hide a poster's "Show your signature" checkbox underneath the QuickReply panel.

I just applied that change, and was the first reply in a thread (via QuickReply) and my signature DID NOT show up at all on the refresh. (It should appear, as it was my first time in that thread.)

I'm going to revert back, since that change is not what a user would expect (especially if they have a sig and expect for it to appear.)

I'm okay with it appearing you that first time after a QuickReply, since after a refresh (and immediately for everyone else) -- it only appears in the user's first post.

But revpolar's "fix" for the QuickReply issue is overkill and doesn't actually address the issue properly.

The issue is in how QuickReply refreshes immediately and doesn't reflect what a "real" refresh would show...

I should say though, that otherwise, this hack appears to be working fine for me in vB 3.5.3 (with both the generic vB skin as well as my customized 3rd party one.) Thanks!
