Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Limit Links In Signature

This version is for 3.6.x only, if you'd like to use it with 3.8.x, click here!

DESCRIPTION

In short, this hack allows you to set a maximal number of allowed links in signatures for each user group. If the user is previewing or saving the signature with more links than allowed, it returns an error message with the current number of links and the allowed one.

Note that this hack does also have any effect when the user has a secondary (member) group. The permissions of users whose secondary (member) group is allowed to use more links than the primary group will be taken. So, if a user is in primary user group "Registered" with 2 links allowed and in secondary group "Verified" with 3 links allowed he is allowed to have 3 links in signature (if the user group option 'Allow Users to have Member Groups' is set to Yes).

The allowed number of links will be shown in the 'Signature Rules' box (if you do the template change).

INSTALLATION

- Upload files from the upload folder

CONFIGURATION

Note that by default (after installation) the values are set to 0, means all user groups do not have any limitations unless you edit the permissions!

To set/edit the allowed number of signature links go to "Manage Usergroups", edit the desired usergroup by scrolling down to the "Signature" box where you'll find the new permission setting. Enter 0 to not limit the number of links. If you do not want to allow links in general, set the option 'Allow Link BBCode' to No.

Initial Release of Limit Links In Signature

Reserved (moved screenshot to the first post).

Looks good - question though - Say Registered Member group will have simply 1 link per siggy... If the Member already has 2 links - will the system notify Member to edit signature?

Anyway - thanx for the sharing

Hey PoetJA-1975,

unless the user isnt previewing or trying to save his signature, the script wont 'see' the amount of links in the user's signature.

[FleaBag]

Nice addition, and definitely worthy of default featurage!

Thanks.

It's a nice idea though and is worth a thought for future releases.

[projectego]

Great idea.

A suggestion: If we set permissions for per usergroup and/or by post counts, it would be great!
