Signature Image System

Signature Image Management System (file based)

Updated: 27 June 2002, 12:22 AM BST

This hack allows users to upload a image or images that they can then use as part of the thier signature. All uploaded images are private to the user that uploaded them.

The hack requires that you have PHP 4.1.0 or newer for the upload functions to work correctly. PHP 4.0.6 can be used with modifications (not recommended).

The scripts can if enabled also prevent users from externally linking to the images they uploaded, please note this is done by HTTP_REFERER checking not all http servers or browsers support this however is more widely supported than Apache's mod_rewrite. Should you wish to stop deep linking then upload a image called badcontent.gif to your forums directory.

Further more instructions are provided in how to get this hack to work if you are using vBulletin's standard sig editor or a advanced sig editor hack.

Version 2.0 Updates
- remote storage support
- sig.php nolonger appears in online.php
- special [sig] vB code is used instead of [img] tags

Version 1.3 Updates
- fixed display bug
- added removal script to main package
- added test template set


Version 1.11 Updates
- Image width & height checking
- Extension checking
- More useful error messages
- Added a missing function

Current Version 1.3
Released 20th sept 2001

Requirements:
- vBulletin 2.0.3
- PHP 4.0.3+ (this hack has not been tested on PHP 3.0.17, it may or may not work)

Optional:
- HTTP Server that supports HTTP_REFERER, (Apache 1.2+, IIS 4+)
- badcontent.gif in your forum directory


Screenshots can be found in the zip file.

I keep getting an error message. (See attachment)

I'm assuming this is because my server runs in Safe Mode and I can't write to that directory. I've had other issues like this. I'm not certain how to take it off of safe mode and I'm debated on whether I should.

You have to specify the absolute path not the relative path. eg. starting /home

sig.php stopped working on vbulletin 2.2.4

I'm not sure why, but its not sending valid image headers anymore.

change
$bbcode = preg_replace("/\[img\](\r\n|\r|\n)*((http|https):\/\/([^;<>\*\(\)\"".iif($allowdynimg,"","\?\&")."]+)|[a-z0-9\/\\\._\- ]+)\[\/img\]/siU", "<img src=\"\\2\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">", $bbcode);

to

$bbcode = preg_replace("/\[img\](\r\n|\r|\n)*(([^;<>\*\(\)\"".iif($allowdynimg,"","\?\&")."]+)|[a-z0-9\/\\\._\- ]+)\[\/img\]/siU", "<img src=\"\\2\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">", $bbcode);

inside functions.php.


xug: about your request the simple answer is no, the complex answer is maybe after vb3 is released as this current hack will need rewriting anyway I'd guess.

Correction on dabean's post above!

For v2.2.4 its accually:

Find:

PHP Code:

      $bbcode = preg_replace("/\[img\](\r\n|\r|\n)*((http|https):\/\/([^;<>\*\(\)\"".iif($allowdynimg,"","\?\&")."]+)|[a-z0-9\/\\\._\- ]+)\[\/img\]/siU", "<img src=\"\\2\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">", $bbcode); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

      $bbcode = preg_replace("/\[img\](\r\n|\r|\n)*(([^;<>\*\(\)\"".iif($allowdynimg,"","\?\&")."]+)|[a-z0-9\/\\\._\- ]+)\[\/img\]/siU", "<img src=\"\\2\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">", $bbcode); 


in admin/functions.php

I love this hack, but hate how it screws up the who's online page. If a thread has a sig image in it, any member viewing that thread shows up with thier location being the sig script instead of that thread. Any fix???

[eoc_Jason]

Forgive me for sounding stupid, but what is the sigimagetext.style file for? There is no mention of it in this thread or in any of the text files....

[TECK]

a quick question. are the images uploaded to database? i didnt have the chance to look at the file.
interesting hack.

[eoc_Jason]

No, you create a directory and it stores the files there (on your hard drive)... Which I think is a better idea IMO...

[dabean]

eoc_Jason, the sigimagetext.style is not really needed, its only provided incase you run into trouble with the template alterations. It is in fact a set of modified templates to test the hack with.
