Easy Disable/Enable Signature per user

Easy Disable/Enable Signature per user

I'm looking for this hack for long time but not found. So I decide to edit myself.

Now, I share with all of you.

NOTE: For 3.8.x version, see this post.

What this does ?

This hack mod will allow administrator enable/disable signature for each user.

Difficulty: Easy with 2 step.

Let's begin.

1. First, you need to create a new user profile as follow:

Profile Field type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons

Title: Enable Signature
Description: write whatever you like
Option - enter 2 values, each value seperated by Enter, notice the order of each:

 
Yes 
No

Set Default : Yes
Order : (leave)
Required field: No
Field Editable by User: No (This option will only allow administrator to edit)
Private Field: Yes
Other field: No

Which page displays this option?: Option

Click Save, it will return to User profile field manager page

You will see new user profile field, view the name of it, for example in my board is: field17

Remember this

2. In postbit or postbit_legacy template,

Find:

find:

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

Replace with:

<if condition="$post['field17']!='No'">
<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
    __________________<br />
    $post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
</if>

Note: change $post['field17'] the fieldname as in your board

All done.

How to use this ?

If you want to disable signature for any user, just go to the User Profile in AdminCP and at the option: Enable Signature, select No

I have a link in postbit that shows up for my moderators for quick access to edit a users' signature. It takes them to the page that you'd get when looking at a user profile in the modcp (Edit Signature):
/forums/modcp/user.php?do=editsig&u=userid

Any idea how you could get this hack to show up on that page? So a moderator could edit the sig AND change that profile field on the same page?

To do this need to add some code to original php file. But now I dont have much time to do this. I think you should do it by your self if you have knowledge about php and SQL

[redspider]

can this be use for usergroups?

I don't know if I could write the code myself - I would need some help.
