Signature Rules - post rules for users to follow · **Released**: 01-07-2010

About
This is my very first vb mod and a simple one at that. There are similar mods for older versions of vb, but not for 4.x yet, so decided to try it myself, and wanted to share.

The modifciation allows admins to post a list of rules or guidelines for users to follow when updating or creating a signature. It is a simple list and does not truely force users to follow the rules listed; however, it is a good reminder right where the user is creating their signature of any rules you may be trying to enforce.

Updates
1.0 Initial Release
1.1 Updated installer to account for vb 4.1.x

Options
1. Up to 10 rules can be displayed
2. Can use a single column list or multi column to display the rules
3. Can change the graphic used as a bullet for the list, by default uses the accept.png located in the images/misc folder

Installation
1. Import the Signature-Rules.xml product file
2. Add a reference to the template in the modifysignature template

to do this edit the modifysignature template and add the following as the first line in the template

PHP Code:


			
{vb:raw signaturerules}

I'm very new to vb mods, so I will try and support any issues as best as I can. The mod is very simple so I don't really see issues popping up, but you never know.

Also if anyone has suggestions on what can be done better since I am new please do let me know

Since it's signatures, I don't think it's a good idea to force the rules for those who already have good ones. If they wish to edit it, they would see the new rules, correct? That's all I want. I'll be sure to download this once I get back home, thanks!

Looks nice but can be done with a simple template modification.

A lot can be done with simple template modifications. Just the add-ons makes it a lot easier and simple.

Yes, I love mods that make it so I don't have to make those skin edits everytime I add a new skin.
