Well done, you managed to make this a theme edit, so extra support requests, as well as breaking the "Hide signatures" option in look and layout.

Better solution would have been to put this in Load.php where the signature is parsed.

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Set things up to be used before hand.

Add Before:

Code Select Expand

global $user_info;
if (empty($user_info['id']))
$profile['signature'] = '';

Plus this gives you a performance boost since you're not calling the behemoth that is parse_bbc with data it doesn't have to actually parse. It's even the same edit in both versions, too.

This didn't work for my forum (running 1.1.11). However, this did:

Code Select Expand

   if ($user_info['is_guest'])
      $profile['signature'] = '';

Is there any reason not to code it that way?

[Arantor]

Depends where you're doing it.

There's no major reason why not - just depends on making sure you call it in the right place.

[altdot]

Ah-- I did it where you recommended, in Load.php. global $user_info; was already defined and populated at that point. I'm not sure why checking empty($user_info['id']) didn't work, unless the id is 0 instead of empty for guests, which it looked like might be the case.

[Arantor]

id is 0 for guests, or empty, either way empty() on the id should have worked, since empty checks for not defined/0/'0'/''/array()

[altdot]

Weird. I don't know why it didn't work, then. No matter, the code's working fine now. Thanks!

Any chance this can be given the extra ability to disable the display of signatures for selected membergroups? We have a few people who we'd rather they could not create signatures, or if they create them, no one sees them (effectively the same result).

Grazie,

Cal

Hi, I just recently got this mod,  this can be done however, theres already another mod that does what you want.

[Cal O'Shaw]

I'm running 1.1.12.  Could you point me to that MOD (I searched on "signature" and the closest was one limiting links but I want to prevent a class of members from being able to display signatures).

Grazie!

[Suki]

is this,  but I'm afraid its just for 2.0:

[Cal O'Shaw]

Grazie.  I posted asking if the author would consider 1.1.12, but I'm not counting on him doing so.

Any chance your MOD could provide a way to add to the logic "if membergroup X don't display signature to anyone" when you check if the viewer is a guest?  If you already read from the AdminCP to see if the MOD is enabled, perhaps add a field asking for the membergroup number? (Trying to suggest as easy a way as possible to implement).

I appreciate your help.  Grazie mille!

I'll see about it, my goal for now is to make this mod sources edit only so it can work with every theme.

[MaXiForum.cz]

It works on RC4
Thank you!

[Suki]

this mod is now updated, will work with 2.0 Rc4 or 1.1.x,  no theme edits.
