Signature Image System

Signature Image System v1.0

Firstly if you use profile pictures on your forum, this hack isn't for you. Basicly this hack uses the user profile picture option in vB3 to upload an image for users to use in there signature on your site only.

This has been tested on vB3 Gamma, but should work on the RC's too.

Upload signature.php to your forums directory and make the following changes:

in includes/functions_showthread.php find:

PHP Code:

$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']); 


Add after:

PHP Code:

                // EDIT ########################################################################
                // replace sig img code
                if ($vboptions['profilepicenabled'] AND ($checkperms['genericpermissions'] & CANPROFILEPIC)) {
                    $post['signature'] = preg_replace('/\[signatureimage\]/i', fetch_signature_url($post['userid']), $post['signature']);
                } 


In profile.php find:

PHP Code:

$previewmessage = parse_bbcode2($signature, $vboptions['allowhtml'], $vboptions['allowbbimagecode'], $vboptions['allowsmilies'], $vboptions['allowbbcode']); 


Add after:

PHP Code:

        // EDIT ########################################################################
        // do sig image
        if ($vboptions['profilepicenabled'] AND ($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANPROFILEPIC)) {
            $previewmessage = preg_replace('/\[signatureimage\]/i', fetch_signature_url($bbuserinfo['userid']), $previewmessage);
        } 


In member.php find:

PHP Code:

$userinfo['signature'] = parse_bbcode($userinfo['signature'], 0, 0); 


Add after:

PHP Code:

$previewmessage = preg_replace('/\[signatureimage\]/i', fetch_signature_url($userinfo['userid']), $previewmessage); 


In includes/functions.php add the end somewhere above the comment (note the comment varies for everyone:

PHP Code:

/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded: 03:57, Fri Dec 5th 2003
|| # CVS: $RCSfile: functions.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.901 $
|| ####################################################################
\*======================================================================*/
?> 


Add:

PHP Code:

function fetch_signature_url($userid) {

                global $_SERVER;

    return '<img src="signature.php?userid='.$userid.'&amp;sig='.(TIMENOW + 30).'&amp;req='.md5('http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'" border="0" />';
} 


In the MEMBERINFO template find:

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

Replace with:

<if condition="$show['profilepic'] AND $never_show_this">

Now you will need to visit the edit profile picture page in the User CP (profile.php?do=editprofilepic) and edit the phrases in the phrase manager to suit your needs. Searching for the text is easy so I'm not going to list all the phrases.

Now users can use [signatureimage] in there signature where they want the uploaded image to appear. Note you'll need to edit the usergroups permissions for Profile Pictures in the Usergroup Manager, where you can specify image size and file size restrictions.

Very nice idea..
Would be nice to have a separate upload area from the custom profile pic (I use the custom profile pics), but a great mod all the same.

[VeoMorphine]

ya, this would be very very good if you could make a seporate place for the sig to upload because i use profile pictures.

not working on rc4

[NTLDR]

Can you expand? Not working doesn't exactly help

[gmarik]

If only I could use several signatures. ..

nice was expecting a port of the vb2 sig system.. but still good work, if we didnt like / use our profile pics as much as me and the other staff do then this would be excellent

aye i like the profile pics too

[eXtremeTim]

So any chance we can get a version not dependant on the profile pictures stuff?

[NTLDR]

Not in the near future, at least not by me. I only released this version because people wanted it.
