Forum Signature Hack

Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 2:15 pm

It seems that even though I have posted several times on our forums NOT to enter or change a sig in Your Account users still do it and complain that their sigs don't work. This hack courtesy of SaBRENT of ClanFGA.com

This hack disallows the entering and editing of signature information in Your Account and adds a link to Forums/profile so users can correctly enter and/or modify sigs.

in modules/Your_Account/index.php find:

Code:

echo "<tr><td bgcolor='$bgcolor2'><b>"._SIGNATURE.":</b><br>"._OPTIONAL."</td>"


       ."<td bgcolor='$bgcolor3'><textarea wrap=\"virtual\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" name=\"user_sig\">".$userinfo['user_sig']."</textarea><br>"._255CHARMAX."</td></tr>"

Change to:

Code:

echo "<tr><td bgcolor='$bgcolor2'><b>"._SIGNATURE.":</b> - (<a href=\"forums.html?file=profile&mode=editprofile\">PLEASE EDIT WITHIN FORUM PROFILE</a>)<br>"._OPTIONAL."</td>"





       ."<td bgcolor='$bgcolor3'><textarea wrap=\"virtual\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" name=\"user_sig\" disabled >".$userinfo['user_sig']."</textarea><br>"._255CHARMAX."</td></tr>"

It works.

Or you could try mine: http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/posts10271-start-25.html

Just follow the last set of instructions as some of those are my thoughts.

It will allow them to change it from the your_account module lol.

Thanks "D". I had forgotten about this. Unfortunately, this also reminds me that the issue that was fixed is HTML and not bbcode related. Sad

Umm, does this mean that something was fixed but it was not bbcode?

If thats the case, use mine, it fixes the bbcode with a kind of Jerry rigged approach.

I believe it still functions the way that phpbb would like it to, but without a new id being generated from the your_account module, it works too.

I tried the first post and it worked great

when i went to your account index.php the output for the signature was

Code:

[img:2eb501e063]http://www.upixs.com/87/Tghi0/4173.png[/img:2eb501e063]

so obviusly no image was showing in the your account index.php

Not a major issue but would be a nice fix Laughing
