Name:
External Signature Image Size Limiter

Description:
Unlike vBulletin does, this hack limits the size of external images in signatures depending on the dimensions you choose.

Features:
- On/Off Switch
- Set max image width.
- Set max image height.

Installation Instructions:
1. Unzip the folder.
2. Upload 'product-hs_sigimgsize.xml' to the Product Manager in the vBulletin AdminCP.
3. Manage Settings via AdminCP => vBulletin Options => vBulletin Options => HS - External Signature Image Size Limiter

Credits:
Chris M for the base code.

Information:
Plugins: 1
Phrases: 2

Installation Difficulty: Very Easy
Installation Duration: 10- seconds.

Important: In order to update you must uninstall the old product and upload the new one.

Before installing, check your php.ini file for this setting:
allow_url_fopen = on

If it's off, turn it on. Otherwise this won't work.

To make this hack delete all signatures so users must put there signatures in again: In the Admin CP, go to > Update Counters > Empty Signature Cache.

This mod can be improved, so with all of your help, by suggesting new ideas and reporting bugs, I can modify and play around with this product to improve it.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install if you use!

I'm glad you all like it, thanks for the positive feedback.

Please click the install button if you used the hack though.

nice mate this is a great hack because members use a big images which will make the site much slower and mostly the sections that they reply on it so this hack will limit it thanks (Installed)

This hack will not adjust those sig images already set by members prior to installing?

Thanks

[Snake]

Wow I have been waiting for this. Thanks!

Question/Clarification: Is the size restriction set for the total signature area, not just one image? For example, typical signatures on my board would consist of one larger image along with 5 to 8 smaller images. How would this hack work with multiple images? And this is not for the default vB "Signature Picture" option, correct?
