Awesome! A must have! No more HUUUUGE sig images on my forums. muahaha <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Tossing this on my todo list, thanks Astaran! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
[]DLWebmaestro said:<br />Has this just plain not worked for anyone? I tested it by entered a sig with a bunch of line breaks, but it allows it. [/]<br /><br />You're right. I fixed it and updated the instructions.<br />Only this row changed:<br /><br /> $sigLines = preg_match_all("/\\n/",$Signature, $outLines);
Great mod!<br /><br />Now all I need to do is write a script to check all the existing ones! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Attached you'll find a script that checks all signatures if they match to your rules defined in the config file. <br />If the signature don't fit to the rules, the signature is deleted. Additionally, the user receives an PM with his old signature so that he can changed and reapply it. <br /> <br />Note: Change the Body of the private message and make a Backup of your database first! <br />Rename the attachement to .php and upload it to you ubbthreads main dir. Delete it after execution.
<img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/yay.gif" alt="" /> It works now! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But where is that attached script you were talking about?
My fault, I didn't add that to the instructions.<br />Just add this function to your ubbt.inc.php (I updated the instructions to reflect this):<br /><br />function remoteFileSize($remote_file)<br />{<br /> $file = file_get_contents($remote_file);<br /> <br /> return strlen($file);<br />}<br /><br />[]<br />Also, I'm getting some $imageUrl errors, its creating:<br /><br />http://http://www.viperalley [/]<br />Mhh, I just use the standard regexp. Maybe the user entered it that way?

Yes, anyone who is using an older version can use this to make it compatible:<br /><br />if (!function_exists("file_get_contents")) {<br /> function file_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0) {<br /> $data = FALSE;<br /> $file = fopen($filename, "rb", $use_include_path);<br /> if ($file) {<br /> while (!feof($file)) $data .= fread($file, 1024);<br /> fclose($file);<br /> }<br /> return $data;<br /> }<br />}

Interesting and a well needed mod! However, it's not working on my site after the applied changes. <br /> <br />I've gone in and created some huge signature images and they are still showing after the mod, changing the height and width, and making a new registered member with it. <br /> <br />Here's what I changed the fields to and it's still allowing huge sigs: <br /> <br />$config['sigMaxImages'] = '1'; <br />$config['sigImageHeight'] = '150'; <br />$config['sigImageWidth'] = '400'; <br />$config['sigImageSize'] = '55000'; <br />$config['sigMaxLines'] = '10';
[]Astaran said:<br />Any error messages?<br />What php version are you using? [/]<br /><br />No, not picking up on visible errors...<br /><br />I'm running PHP version 4.3.3.
Hi all,<br />I'm not too familar with php yet (I'm still stuck in the perl days <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/mryuck.gif" alt="" /> )but a user reported the following error and it is able to be reproduced by attempting to change the basic profile.<br />
Code:
<br />Fatal error: Call to undefined function: remotefilesize() in /home/xganon/www/forums/ubbt.inc.php on line 739<br />
<br />I am using mysql 4.0.16, php 4.1.2, Redhat ES 2.3(or so).<br />I added the function to the bottom of ubbt.inc.php but stil no go (It was the code for php versions that aren't 4.3)<br /><br />Any ideas?<br />Line 739 of that file is:<br />
[]Astaran said:<br />Have you added the function remoteFileSize as stated in the instructions and the the function that is needed for older php versions? [/]<br /><br />I must be blind, I added the function for the older php versions but didn't add the function for remoteFileSize, unfortunatly I had installed this before that was added to the instructions and wasn't made aware of it until this weekend.<br />Thanks for the help! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
I would love to implemente this in 6.5 and run the check script for all those who have to big allready....<br /><br />Whats needed for this to work in 6.5???
works fine in 6.5, but there are some lines that must be changed manually, as it have been a few small changes in them by Infopop... anyway, kinda logic!

There is something missing in that code, only the first image found is checked for the size and other parameters, all others are not.<br />A for loop is missing so to say.<br /><br />Also, I found a remote file size check that doesn't download the images to check the filesize but checks the headers instead.<br /><br />http://www.php-editors.com/contest/1/33-read.html

In the one in your first post. <br /> <br />This part: <br /> <br />elseif ($images != 0) { <br />$imageUrl = "http" . $out['0']['2'] . "." . $out['0']['3']; <br /> <br />Should be included in a loop, the way it is now it only checks the first image found. <br /> <br />Also, you might check the function I use for the remote file size checking without the need to downlod the file to the server.

how much more difficult would it be to additionally force users to upload their signature images to my server? in a similar fashion as the user avatar's current upload setting.<br /><br />this way, i could (1) better monitor the content of the images and (2) ensure there's no page drag because a sig image is hosted on a slower server

in addition, i'd also prefer to have a little upload field, too, for the users to upload their sig images (which would help enforce the idea that they'd have to be hosted on my server) <br /> <br />any chance on whippin all this up for the codily handicapped? <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, please help....<br /><br />I am using 6.3.2 and have gone into the admin panel - edit config settings. Where exactly do I add these variables? There isnt anywhere obvious to put them. can they be added to the php file manually?<br /><br /><br />
Code:
##################<br />Open your admin panel -> config settings and add these variables:<br />###################<br /><br />$config['sigMaxImages'] = '1';<br />$config['sigImageHeight'] = '80';<br />$config['sigImageWidth'] = '400';<br />$config['sigImageSize'] = '30720';<br />$config['sigMaxLines'] = '10';
