Show Thread Enhancements - Hide Signature and Avatar in specific forum

Hello everybody,

This is my first modification I post in vBulletin.org, and I hope it will be a good start for me and I keep posting new modifications for you.

Today's post is about hiding signature or/and avatars in threads in specific forum, its very easy and simple.

• Hiding signatures

First, open your postbit, or postbit_legacy template.


Find:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

Replace it with:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(2,47))">

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Replace 2 & 47 with the forum id you want to hide signatures from it, if you want to add more forum numbers add comma between them.

You're done !

• Hiding Avatars

Now we will do the same thing with avatars, its also easy like the signature hiding.
Open your postbit, or postbit_legacy template.


Find:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">

Replace it with:

<if condition="$show['avatar'] AND !in_array($thread['forumid'],array(2,47))">

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Replace 2 & 47 with the forum id you want to hide avatars from it, if you want to add more forum numbers add comma between them.



I hope this modification would be useful for everyone.


Regards,
Ibrahim Mohammed

if we want to hide sigg in multiple forums... can we just add comma and put next forum id? would that work?
coz when i try to add, multiple forums. i get this error

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ',' in /8888/8888/888888/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3939) : eval()'d code on line 167

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

this is my code

PHP Code:

        <if condition="$post['signature'] AND $thread['forumid']  != 231, 257, 331, 348, 349, 355, 258, 471, 282">
        <!-- sig -->

Yes, find (Or Similar):

					<if condition="$show['profile']">
					<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
					$post[onlinestatus]
					<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
					<else />
					$post[musername]
					</if>

Replace with:

					<if condition="$show['profile']" AND $thread['forumid']  != 2">
					<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
					$post[onlinestatus]
					<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
					<else />
					$post[musername]
					</if>

Now don't forget to follow this mod authors directions regarding the forum ID.

that should do it as when I removed that code the names were gone from my forums. I did not trick it via the forum id I simplt removed, saved, viewed, then corrected it back to original.

        <!-- sig --> 

Take out all the extra spaces and try it

PHP Code:

        <if condition="$post['signature'] AND $thread['forumid']  != 231,257,331, 348,349,355, 258,471,282">
        <!-- sig --> 

Let us all know if it worked, not tested but it should as I believe it was not reading the code correctly due to all the extra spaces but then again it could be due to the AND and it only NEEDING one forum ID to work with the first part of the IF i.e. the if condition equals to post signature

Interesting addon for some forums (private mainly or closed), but doesn?t work with multiple forums on postbit template with v3.8.2 :/
