UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Modify the Sig

I was wondering if there was a mod out there or if someone can made one to Modify the user Sig. Currently you can put up to 250 characters but what if I wanted to change that number to a higher count like 500?

Thanks

This is available in the Admin menu.

Go to "Edit config settings".
Under "Special Functions" you should find the setting called "Maximum length for signatures:".
Just change that number.

Whoa, I just caught myself... It must be the posting at 4:00 in the morning that is getting to me... I messed up, what I meant was How Do you modify the length of the Users Bio... not Sig.... THe Bio only goes to 250 but I want to increase that to 500 or so.

Sorry about the mess up.

In changebasic.php:

find

code:
// ------------------------------------------------
// If Bio is greater than 250, the we do not allow
   if ( strlen($Bio) > 250) {
      $html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BIO_TOO_LONG'],$Cat);

---

and change it to

code:
// ------------------------------------------------
// If Bio is greater than 500, the we do not allow
   if ( strlen($Bio) > 500) {
      $html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BIO_TOO_LONG'],$Cat);

---

(or whatever number you wanted to use)

then, to fix the wording on the Edit Basic page,

find in /languages/english/editbasic.php

code:
$ubbt_lang['PROF_BIO']  = 	"Bio (up to 250 characters)";

---

and change to

code:
$ubbt_lang['PROF_BIO']  = 	"Bio (up to 500 characters)";

---

(or whatever number you used in the above code)

Perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for, thank yuo very much.
