This module can be used to add formatting to signatures (e.g. showing signatures in a different color or adding a separator line between the body and the signature).

This can be done by defining an HTML prefix and postfix in the module's settings.

Changelog:
----------

2011-01-05 1.0.1

    - Do not prepare the signature formatting when on the control center
      page, so we won't break the signature editor there.

2008-01-29 1.0.0

    - Initial release

Hey,

Installed it and it works great, thanks.

Thanks! Just what I needed!

Attached to this post is an uploaded modification of this script that prevents the rendering of user signatures to forum guests who are not logged in. In other words, user signatures will only be visible to registered members who are logged in while perusing your forum.

Download the attached script and upload it to your /mods/format_signatures/ directory, delete the old format_signatures.php and rename this file to format_signatures.php instead.

This is a hack of Format_Signatures 1.0.1 in the Changelog. Thanks Maurice for the inspiration. Perhaps eventually I will make changes to the admin settings screen so this will be a full fledge feature of the module and not a hack.

Hi,
can this module also be used to set a limit on amount of characters in a signature?
i want to try just allow a certain amount of characters.
We have a few users whoms signaturers are much bigger then their messages......

No, it's not usable for putting constraints on the signature, but luckily there is another module for that ;-)

i tried and it was possible??

Language: PHP
function phorum_mod_format_signatures_read_user_info($users)
{
    // Do not handle this on the control center page. That is where
    // the user can edit his signature. If we would add the signature
    // markers here, they would show up verbatim in the signature editor.
    if (phorum_page === ';control';) return $users;
 
    foreach ($users as $id => $user)
    {
        $sig = trim($user[';signature';]);
        if ($sig != ';';)
		{
            // also possible: function isSignature_allowed($sig), should return true/false
            // showing error text depending on resulting true/false then
 
 
			if(strlen($sig) > 500)
				$sig = ';System Error: signature tekst meer dan 500 tekens!';;
 
			$users[$id][';signature';] =
                SIGNATURE_MARKER_PRE . $sig . SIGNATURE_MARKER_POST;
        }
    }
 
    return $users;
}

I will take a look at your link too:)

maurice, thank you and your team!
that "another module" is working perfectly!

For existing signatures i do need my extra check on string length, so i will leave this tiny little piece of extra code in this module

Shouldn't be these both signature add-ons glued together??

They have very different functions, so I say they don't belong together.
