Better signature limiting options

[sully02]

I'll sign again. Looks like someone is taking it upon themselves to do it. Perhaps if we had a copy of the phpBB mod we could make some progress on it?

I agree ... this is a very useful hack.

This can be done by my friend, but he has no time and I think that we should all come together and offer a financial incentive to the author..

Who's in!?

I did open a Paid Services ticket and got no takers.

Yea haven't figured this one out yet. Maybe too challenging for the coders, wish I was a coder, I would certainly give it a go.

This is so strange =/ such a demanded hack and yet no one is bothering to take the time to code it. God bless whoever does seriously. This should come with VB anyway without having to hack ._.;

I agree because it was one of the requests i made for vb3 gold :P

However no bbs includes this as standard so vb3 can be forgiven for not having it as standard also

However i'm hoping vb3.1 is something special as a lot of the requests that were not included in vb3 gold were slated for vb3.1

Geez, Why don't the owners of Jelsoft take a look at this and do something about it - besides, we PAY for vbulletin - we deserve to be heard - this is no problem for the rich dudes @ JS!

Just posted a thread on vbulletin.com, let's hope it get's noticed by the top doggs @ Jelsoft.

I'd love to see the Sig Settings list expand per usergroup. At the very least, it would be nice to be able to limit the:

1. Number of images
2. Size of images
3. BB and HTML tags that can be used
4. Image weight (file size)
5. Censor various text combos (like "http" or ".com") for those of us who don't want URL's posted in sigs
6. Be able to take away signature access on a per-user basis

I don't want a terribly complex hack, just one that is better than what we have now. In time, people might find ways to get around it. But it won't be as much hassle as it is right now removing the sig violations constantly. Being able to prevent users from editing their sig would be key. This way, if they get their hand slapped, you can take away their editing access if they screw up again.

This is a simple template and CSS mod to restrict sig to a 500x120 centered box. It works for IE6 and firefox. I haven't tried any other browsers.

Go to your admincp

Styles & templates => styles manager => click [<<>>] => find Postbit Templates => double click postbit or postbit_legacy(depends on which you are using if you don't know it doesn't hurt to make modification to both)

Find code:

<!-- sig --> <div>

Replace with:

<!-- sig --> <div class="smallsig">

Push save button.

Next,
Styles & templates => styles manager => Select Main CSS and push go => Scroll to bottom.

Add this to bottom of "Additional CSS Definitions"

.smallsig {
width: 50%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-height:120px;
height:expression((document.documentElement.client Height) > 120? "120px" : "100%");
max-width:500px;
width:expression((document.body.clientWidth) > 500? "500px" : "100%");
overflow:hidden;
}
