[RELEASE] Sig Length Limit

Trying to keep this simple, as I need it for my site now (some guy posted a 34 line, 7kb sig). Set $siglimit to the number of lines you want to be.

This is not particularly efficient, but it will limit sigs already in place. So...

showthread.php, find:

      $signature= "\n__________________\n$userinfo[signature]";

Replace with:

      $signature= "\n__________________\n";
      $splitsig = explode("\n", $userinfo[signature]);
      $siglimit = 6;
      if (count($splitsig)>$siglimit) {
      	for ($i=0;$i<$siglimit;$i++) {
      		$signature .= "$splitsig[$i]\n";
      	}
      } else {
      	$signature .= "$userinfo[signature]";
      }

Tada! Remember to set $siglimit to what you want!

very nice, and simple too!

oh what a dilemma now my members have long sigs and they will roast me for implementing this hack

is there a way in the member profile and on sign up to let them know there is a sig line limit ?

couldn't you just add a line in your templates that says on the top that there is a sig limit

No - that wasn't the point of the hack.

Hello Ed,

Thank you sooooo much.

Thanks Ed! Simple, yet effective. Took all of 30 seconds to "install" (if that's even the word for it) and works like a charm
