Signature Image System Hack - Version 3.0+... · **Released**: 11-01-2002

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.
*================================================= ================================================== ==================*

Install Info:
Hack Version: 3.0+
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)
Templates to add: 19

Thanks
Special thanks should go to the following people:

N9ne - For providing template modifications, and for being a BETA tester
Minifreunde - For requesting this hack, and for being a BETA tester
DrkFusion - For being a BETA tester
NTLDR - For helping with a few errors during the BETA testing stage...
mADmAX`- For providing the missing code to the root/usercp.php file...You can find his manual change here

Support - I am offering support, but only in THIS THREAD...I unfortunately cannot be here during the coming weeks (Mon-Fri), so therefore you will have to rely on others for assitance, should it be urgent...If you do require assitance, please - Only reply in this thread

Screenshots
Screenshots will be coming in the next post in a .zip file of their own...

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!

LOOK FOR THIS

PHP Code:


			
        if ($post[showsignature] and $allowsignatures and trim($post[signature])!="" and ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $bbuserinfo[showsignatures])) {

            if (!isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"])) {

                $post[signature]=bbcodeparse($post[signature],0,$allowsmilies);

                eval("\$post[signature] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signature")."\";");

                $sigcache["$post[userid]"] = $post[signature];

            } else {

                $post[signature] = $sigcache["$post[userid]"];



            }

        } else {



            $post[signature] = "";

        }

CHANGE TO THIS

PHP Code:


			


        if ($post[showsignature] and $allowsignatures and trim($post[signature])!="" and ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $bbuserinfo[showsignatures])) {

            if (!isset($sigcache["$post[userid]"])) {

                $post[signature]=bbcodeparse($post[signature],0,$allowsmilies);

                eval("\$post[signature] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signature")."\";");

                $sigcache["$post[userid]"] = $post[signature];

            } else {

                $post[signature] = '';

            }

        } else {

                if ($signatureurl!="") {

                        eval("\$post[signature] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signature")."\";"); 

                    }

        //    $post[signature] = "";

        }

as u ca see, i added a new code in the last "else" code and comment out the code in there

PHP Code:


			
                if ($signatureurl!="") {

                        eval("\$post[signature] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_signature")."\";"); 

                    }

if there is any error , pls let me know
thanks

If you have a fairly large forum, does this hack negatively effect server load, etc?? thnx

Chris M · #**215** 05-30-2003, 08:37 AM

@Dribbles - Depending on the size of avatars allowed, post count required, number of users, the load will vary - Usually signature images are 100x400 at most, so imagine about 7 avatars per user (including their avatar) and then you will see how this can affect server load on a big board

@LangTuDaTinh - Thanks for that - That may correct lots of people's problems

@Gemini - You will have to add the references to signature into member.php

Hi ... avatar settings are 150x150 max dimensions with 20kb max size. I was thinking for sig images 100 max height with 400 max width. So the system is basically as taxing as the avatar system? (width and size allowances aside).

Chris M · #**217** 05-30-2003, 02:58 PM

As taxing if not potentially more or less...

Hey hellsatan, I tried making this "Lesane Store Compatible" which I assumed would be easy since it is done the same way as normal avatars, but for some reason users cannot upload their sigs when accessing this through the store???

Is there anything in this hack that is different from the standard avatar code besides replacing the word avatar with signature?

Thanks.

Chris M · #**219** 06-02-2003, 07:10 PM

Yes - It does use a modified version of my "Improved Avatar Settings" hack (for signatures obviously

)

That is about it really, apart from N9ne's template mods and a few bits of modified code in member.php

That could be it. Thanks.

Call me stupid, but what file is this you're referring to? I went through all the files and couldn't find this, or part of it, anywhere. /boggle
