Signature forced to bottom (postbit_legacy)

This mod will force all user's signatures to the bottom of their post. This is helpful if you have custom fields displayed under your avatars. Only 3 code changes are required in the postbit_legacy template. It'll take you about one minute to install this.

I have attached a couple screenshots showing what this mod does. I also have enabled this on my forums and you can see an example there:

In postbit_legacy, find:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Change to:

	<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Then find:

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

Delete it.


Now find:

		<!-- / edit note -->
		</if>
	
	</td>
</tr>

Directly underneath add:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]">

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		</td>
</tr>

For those who are using postbit_legacy templates that do not include this line:

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px"> 


I have found a fix.

You need to find this:

PHP Code:

<tr valign="top">
    <td class="alt2" width="175">
            
            <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"> 


then change it to this:

PHP Code:

<tr valign="top">
    <td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2">
            
            <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]"> 


Then delete this:

PHP Code:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
       
        <if condition="$post['signature']">
        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________<br />
                $post[signature]
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->
        </if>
       
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end] 


find this:

PHP Code:

<!-- / edit note -->
        </if>
    
    </td>
</tr> 


and after add this:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]">
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
            <if condition="$post['signature']">
        <!-- sig -->
                <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
                <div valign="bottom">
                <center>$post[signature]</center>
                </div>
        <!-- / sig -->
            </if>
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
    </td>
</tr> 


I added a center tag around my $post[sig] code just to make it look better on my site. feel free to remove it if you want.
This is working on 3.6.7

Actually that won't remove the line he/she is referring to.

That will remove the line that is directly above the signature which you can barely see in the image.

The line he is referring to is due to the rowspan="2" addition and the skin that he is running.

Anyone that has a aftermarket skin may have the problem with that line that is directly under the post and then a big space and then the signature.

Well I hated the line there and played with some code until I got it looking the way I wanted it to.

So here is my edition of this mod.

Go to the postbit_legacy template for the skin you are working with.

Find This:

<td class="alt2" width="175">

Replace With This:

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<td class="alt2" width="175" rowspan="2">
<else />
<td class="alt2" width="175">
</if>

Find This:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		
		$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Replace With This:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
<tr height="1">
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</td>
</tr>
</if>

                $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Now save the template and refresh the forum and it should show a bit neater then it did before.
