thanks for the hack :D I might use it not sure yet
Is this because someone asked for it? I saw a thread thats all.
Nice work mate ill be sure to install this soon as it is very handy.
Congratulations and thanks.
Nice *install
very nice...could you modify this some more though, and make a random sig option?
Wow this looks great :)!
Nice Hack, I think I will install this!
Thanks for the comments :)
MindTrix: Yes, this was written because people asked for it in the Modification requests forum.
idwf: Modification in what way? Random sig is not practical at the moment.
Couldn't you just have an option which says Random and use the MySQL rand function?
useing quick reply now sign shows rest works fine even if theres a few $'s missing in the install log ;)
I'd like a random sig option too.
Not sure if you realize it, but there is typo in your instructions
This:
#######################################################################
#
# AdminCP: Under Style & Template, Search In Template, Search for text: cp_signature, Search In Title Only: No
#######################################################################
shouldn't it be cb_signature? Thre me off for a while untill i changed it
Paratek smacks the *install* My Users are loving this...Nice Hack
nice! i was looking for this :p
thanks for making it man!
/me clicks install
MGM out
C.Birch, Paratek: sorry for the mistakes. Yeap, it's cb_signature. Fixed the missing '$'.
Now supports random signatures :)
For those whom installed this, please feedback if you encounter any problem. Will do a full release if no major bugs are reported.
Maybe in the drop down to pick the sig you could have the fist so many characters show up so we can chnage to another sig if we want to. It can still stay random, just gives us an idea of what sig will display. Does that make any sense? ;)
Thanks for the comments :)
MindTrix: Yes, this was written because people asked for it in the Modification requests forum.
idwf: Modification in what way? Random sig is not practical at the moment.
urm....in the sense that theres an option in the dropdown that selects a random one of your saved sigs. So, that you dunno what one will be added. I like this idea cos ive created many sig images, and dont want to waste them all :p
updated all working great here
Looking good. :)
*Installs
Make an input text field to give the sigs a title an display the titel instead of sig 1, sig2, ..., sigX
How would you do that, sir? ;)
Is the signature editor still compatible with the editor inferface settings in vbulletin?
Nice hack. My members will like it. :)

I agree. I'd rather pick signatures based on a description rather than a number. Instead of picking 1,2,3,4, etc, I'd rather pick between default, sports, politics, humorous.
Other than that, damned nice hack!
something i like to see is a drop down in user cp where a user can pick one to show if they dont pick. i know theres the use last edited bit but i mean let them use 1, 2 or 3 just incase they forget to pick.
because alot of my users are forgetting to pick and having no sign showing.
Updated! Now support signature titles.
C.Birch, run this SQL command (assuming no table prefix):
UPDATE userfield SET fieldX = 'Last Edited Signature' WHERE fieldX='';
This will reset users with no default setting to use the last edited signature in their profile, which by default, is the first signature.
I like this hack very much. Thanks hwtan

Also, can we get a checkbox in the postbit to allow turning it off for that message (like it is now)? If it is checked, it will use whatever you have in the drop down showing or you can change it) and if the box is unchecked it will show no sig at all in that message.
Nice and neede one - I give you thanks.

1. A simple way to do is would be to use template conditionals to determine if the user is belongs to a group allowed to use the multi-signatures hack and if not so display the unmodified version of the template.
Something like:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo[userid], $powerusergid))">
... modified version of the template follows
<else />
.. original template
</if>
2. There's a 'No Signature' option in the combo box. When that option is selected, no signature will be shown for the particular message.
This could be fun, I'm gonna try it out tommorow.
krash123 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/member.php?u=34866) vbmenu_register("postmenu_463642", true); would be really interesting
FIXED NOW nevermind but this mods instuctions are too unclear to follow they need rewriting out like the thing about the "N" and the insert fields with N in then and the only thing seperating them is .....
will add when the hacks out of beta and when i have my forum on Vb gold

Could you possibly include this as a standard option in your great hack? My users can "get by" with one signature...but multiple signatures for the admin would be very useful.
Sorry I'm not smart enough to figure this out without your help. :ermm:
i'd love to use this hack, but in the txt file i have (most recent on, downloaded today) the final phrase is missing a var name and it wont let me add it without a var name, if anyone has this installed on rc4, would you care to share with me how you got it up and running?
0k i install it
just want to know how can i get 2+ signatures?
ya what's the vartitle for the last phrase??
when u'll have final release :)
SQL-query :
UPDATE userfield SET fieldX = 'First Signature'
MySQL said:
#1054 - Unknown column 'fieldX' in 'field list'
How can I fix it
can someone answer my question?
Fix :nervous:
Phrase Type: User tool (global)
Varname:
Text: Signature Title
will be :
Phrase Type: User tool (global)
Varname: signature_title
Text: Signature Title
$post['signature'] = parse_bbcode($post['signature'], 'nonforum', $vboptions['allowsmilies']);
Thanks very much! Maybe the install instructions should be updated to reflect this? It would have saved me a lot of stress! :)
For anyone using this custom usergroups:
Did you also wrap the edit from hwtan around the replacents for:
*Installed* After some hassle. The instructions could be a bit clearer, but the hack is very good.
Things that would be great: The ability to only allow admin or other user groups to use the random sig, or choose their sig. I can see this being abused. If people change large images and stuff, it will confuse things easily. It's much better if the only thing that is randomized is a simple text quote. :)
What a nice hack.. thks! I'd like to install this on my test board, but I need a little help adding some conditionals to the code.
1 - If member is in the admin or mod usergroups, they get to use multiple sigs. That's a nice touch.
2 - If you have contributing members in some "premium" usergroup, they should have this, too. That's a useful perk to offer people who've actually donated money to support your site.
3 - Members of an age-restricted/adult-only usergroup with access to private areas could use an alternate sig inside "naughty" forums.... but those sigs wouldn't be appropriate in the more public forums where they would be seen by all the other members.
How would I set random/selectable conditions based on usergroup ID -- AND -- restrict certain (adult oriented) sigs according to specified forum IDs?
I installed this hack, but edited it to my needs. I have it set to select from 3 signature (1,2,3), removed the 'N' signature (not sure what that is). Also, the random function would not work for me whatever I tried to do.
Any idea how to integrate this with the AdminCP so I don't have to use phpMyAdmin everytime I have to change someones signature?
nope... doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me :-p but that's okay doesn't have to, i don't mind using this hack *presses the install button*
I've run into a problem after installing this hack... Noone's signatures are showing up at all now..
Any insight?

I am having the same problem
I have tried uninstalling this hack, but still cannot see any signatures on threads/posts... Not getting any errors, just not able to see sigs...
Help!

What is wrong? Can someone help me out plz?
Okay, am gettin error messages in my threads...when I go to view them I get this:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',', expecting ']' in /home/pandy/public_html/boards/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 546
Can someone please look at this coding and tell me if everything is correct and if not, how can I fix it? This is from my functions_showthread.php file that we are suppose to modify for this pacific hack:
// Multiple Signatures Hack by Ethan -- Start of Code Block
// choose a random signature
if ($post['showsignature'] == 127) {
$sigtries = N;
$post['showsignature'] = rand(1, N);

$post['showsignature'] = ($post['showsignature'] % N) + 1;
--$sigtries;
}
if ($sigtries == 0) $post['showsignature'] = 0;
}
$post['signature'] = $post['signature' . $post['showsignature']];

}
else
{
$post['signature'] = '';
}
threads on my forum are now messed up...
I am gettin these parse error messages...
Here is the link to my forum:

Please be more polite in future when making posts as after all you modify your board at your own risk and no-one but you is responsible for that :) Also please don't quadruple-post :D! Thankyou for understanding
I have tried uninstalling this hack, but still cannot see any signatures on threads/posts... Not getting any errors, just not able to see sigs...
Help!
Can anyone help with this?
Tried reinstalling once more, to see if I could get my signatures back, and no deal..
Can someone help me understand these instructions a bit better??

I am now having the same problem.
If anyone got this to work, can you please help us?
Parse errors anyone shed some light on this please...
Noi signatures now after the uninstallation... what the helll....
I'm also having the same problem as urmyantichrist...I installed and no one's signatures showed up at all, and I have no uninstalled everything as far as I can tell, but still can't seem to get the signatures back...any clues?
There's a major problem with this....admin cannot edit signatures (without phpmyadmin).
