Disable signatures so only a admin can edit

Still need help with this?

You can disable others from editing signatures by editing Sources/Profile.php:

Find:

Code Select Expand

$profile_strings = array(
'websiteUrl', 'websiteTitle',
'AIM', 'YIM',
'location', 'birthdate',
'timeFormat',
'buddy_list',
'pm_ignore_list',
'smileySet',
'signature', 'personalText', 'avatar',
);

Change to:

Code Select Expand

$profile_strings = array(
'websiteUrl', 'websiteTitle',
'AIM', 'YIM',
'location', 'birthdate',
'timeFormat',
'buddy_list',
'pm_ignore_list',
'smileySet',
'personalText', 'avatar',
);

if ($user_info['is_admin'])
$profile_strings[] = 'signature';

Then you can add a check to make sure to only show the signature box if the user is admin.

Themes/default/Profile.template.php:

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show the signature box.
echo '

Change to:

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_admin'])
{
// Show the signature box.
echo '

Then find:

Code Select Expand

// Website details.
echo '

Change to:

Code Select Expand

}
// Website details.
echo '
