Mod Name / Version: No Image Tag in Signatures <br /> <br />Description: This will disable the use of the [ image ] tag (other than graemlins) inside of signatures. Applying this hack will stop all profiles from using the image tag when they edit their profile. Existing signatures are unaffected unless you run the included optional script which updates and removes the markup from existing signatures. <br /> <br />Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.4 <br /> <br />Mod Status: Beta <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: none <br /> <br />Author(s): JoshPet <br /> <br />Date: 10/12/03 <br /> <br />Credits: Leo Laporte of www.leovilletownsquare.com for requesting it. <br /> <br />Files Altered: ubbt.inc.php, changebasic.php, /languages/english/editbasic.php <br /> <br />New Files: updatesigs.php (optional) <br /> <br />Database Altered: none <br /> <br />Info/Instructions: Apply changes. If you wish to remove the markup from the existing signatures, upload the updatesigs.php script to your ubbthreads directory and run it in your browser. Remove it when you are done. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. <br />If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so. <br /> <br />Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files. <br /> <br />

Problem with this and the Birthday Mod together. Will have to work out details

Can this be setup by groups.. so advertisers can have and others can't.

You'd have to have it check the group while they are editing their profiles, but it's basically passing a parameter to the do_markup function, which if the parameter is passed, it'll skip the image tag markup.... so you could use groups to determine if you pass the parameter or not. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dumb question, but..<br /><br />I was looking through your noimageinsig mod, and have a question about a line of text.. Specifically this. <br /><br />[]<br />## <br />## Find this: <br />## <br /><br />if ($config['allowimages']) { <br /><br /><br /># <br /># Change to this: <br /># <br /><br />// Modify so that the image tag can't be used in sigs - by JoshPet <br />if (($config['allowimages']) && (!$noimage)) {<br />[/]<br /><br />The code we're supposed to find shows up more than once in the file - are we supposed to replace all occurrances of that? Would like clarification before I go mucking up the file.

Hi Josh, are you inferring that no img in sig could be applied to certain groups and other groups would be excluded from this restriction?<br /><br />If not, can that be done? I think that'd be very cool, as sig images is one of the "features" we'd like to offer paid members via myPaymentPal. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Joe - sorry for the late reply - I've been on vacation.<br /><br />When looking for this:<br /><br /> if ($config['allowimages']) {<br /><br />Change the one in the "function do_markup" section.<br /><br />The other one appears in the undo_markup section and does not need to be changed.<br /><br />I'll clarify better in my instructions. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Josh

That would probably be possible, although not part of this mod. It's doable, but would take some additional coding to check it against group permissions. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cool - thanks Josh. FWIW being able to restrict sig images by groups would be an attractive change!<br /><br />I may have mentioned but we are looking to implement myPaymentPal and package features w/ it - ie only paid members can post pix, sig images, have avatars, etc.

Once I get myPaymentPal ready for sale - I need to pull together a number of these "restrict by group" type modifications and post them. As they do/can go hand in hand. It's on my list. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'd be happy to help you - since I am doing the exact same thing to get ready for mPP! I can turn the list over to you if it'd help, just let me know.

I am working on commisioning josh to do these upgrades. We definately need to have these hacks for the mypaypal addon. Folks just won't subscribe for no features or incentives and to turn off the board to non subscribers will just kill your site growth. Very excited to see these mods come out <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
