Well done, you managed to make this a theme edit, so extra support requests, as well as breaking the "Hide signatures" option in look and layout.

Better solution would have been to put this in Load.php where the signature is parsed.

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Set things up to be used before hand.

Add Before:

Code Select Expand

global $user_info;
if (empty($user_info['id']))
$profile['signature'] = '';

Plus this gives you a performance boost since you're not calling the behemoth that is parse_bbc with data it doesn't have to actually parse. It's even the same edit in both versions, too.

This didn't work for my forum (running 1.1.11). However, this did:

Code Select Expand

   if ($user_info['is_guest'])
      $profile['signature'] = '';

Is there any reason not to code it that way?

[Arantor]

Depends where you're doing it.

There's no major reason why not - just depends on making sure you call it in the right place.

[altdot]

Ah-- I did it where you recommended, in Load.php. global $user_info; was already defined and populated at that point. I'm not sure why checking empty($user_info['id']) didn't work, unless the id is 0 instead of empty for guests, which it looked like might be the case.

[Arantor]

id is 0 for guests, or empty, either way empty() on the id should have worked, since empty checks for not defined/0/'0'/''/array()

[altdot]

Weird. I don't know why it didn't work, then. No matter, the code's working fine now. Thanks!

[Cal O'Shaw]

Any chance this can be given the extra ability to disable the display of signatures for selected membergroups? We have a few people who we'd rather they could not create signatures, or if they create them, no one sees them (effectively the same result).

Grazie,

Cal

Hi, I just recently got this mod,  this can be done however, theres already another mod that does what you want.

[Cal O'Shaw]

I'm running 1.1.12.  Could you point me to that MOD (I searched on "signature" and the closest was one limiting links but I want to prevent a class of members from being able to display signatures).

Grazie!

[All Colours Sam]

is this,  but I'm afraid its just for 2.0:

[Cal O'Shaw]

Grazie.  I posted asking if the author would consider 1.1.12, but I'm not counting on him doing so.

Any chance your MOD could provide a way to add to the logic "if membergroup X don't display signature to anyone" when you check if the viewer is a guest?  If you already read from the AdminCP to see if the MOD is enabled, perhaps add a field asking for the membergroup number? (Trying to suggest as easy a way as possible to implement).

I appreciate your help.  Grazie mille!

Cal

I'll see about it, my goal for now is to make this mod sources edit only so it can work with every theme.

[MaXiForum.cz]

It works on RC4
Thank you!

[All Colours Sam]

this mod is now updated, will work with 2.0 Rc4 or 1.1.x,  no theme edits.

I fixed it.

[All Colours Sam]

This mod is now updated for SMF 2.0 and 1.1.x

[antoniosaucedo]

This mod is great! 

Can I change to "Hide Signatures from regular members"  because I'm using your mod: Hide Topics from Guests and then I not need hide signatures from Guests 

Thank you

[All Colours Sam]

do you want to hide the signatures from all your users?  or for certain user groups only?

[antoniosaucedo]

Thanks.

Actually I want to separate in to categories

Suscription members (Miembro Gold)     and   free members  (regular users)

Administrator       
Global Moderator      
Moderador      
Colaborador      
Miembro Gold      

Post count based groups (regular users)
Nuevo      1953   
10 mm      70   
18 mm      78   
24 mm      88   
35 mm      41
50 mm      33
85 mm      27
100 mm      9   
135 mm      8   
200 mm      6   



I don't want  the free members (regular users and Post count based groups) can see the signatures, only the Suscription members (Miembro Gold)

Thanks

[All Colours Sam]

you will need the ID of those user groups who cannot see the signature then do an array:

$groups = array(1,2,3,4,5);

global $user_info;   
      if (in_array($user_info['groups'][0], $groups) || in_array($user_info['groups'][1], $groups))      
      $profile['signature'] = '';



where 1,2,3,4,5  are the group IDs you don't want to show the signature to.

[antoniosaucedo]

Thanks for answer:

The Post count based groups (regular users) are:  4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,19

I supposed that I do something wrong because didn't work

I paste the following between:

// Hide signature from guest and groups mod

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

$groups = array(4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,19);

global $user_info;   
      if (in_array($user_info['groups'][0], $groups) || in_array($user_info['groups'][1], $groups))     
      $profile['signature'] = '';

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

// Set things up to be used before hand.]]></add>

But now anyone can see the signatures.

[All Colours Sam]

did you do the file edit on Sources/Load.php ?

[Douglas]

In theory, this should also work for SMF 2.1, though you can now achieve this via membergroup permissions as well, I believe.

[All Colours Sam]

Thank you for letting me know, will keep this mod compatibility with 2.0 only.
