Aligning signatures: simons way

PostAuthor: Simon N » Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:58 am

Wanted to make a seperate post so as to not confuse people too much. I have just made the following changes to my site and thus aligned signatures to the bottom where they should be.

OPEN viewtopic_body.tpl || I am using acidtech so apologies if this differs from your theme.


FIND
[code]<BEGIN><BEGIN><tbody id="post_{postrow.POST_ID}" style="display]

REPLACE WITH
[code]<BEGIN><BEGIN><tbody id="post_{postrow.POST_ID}" style="display]

Basically the signature was being tagged onto a table that would dynamically resize to suit post length. I have added a new table cell at the bottom and included signature there thus always having it at the bottom.

This is all subject to testing so please feel free to post back thoughts/ outcomes.

I've tried your modification, Simon...
(on XAMPP)

Don't know what template you're using, but with the normal FI Subice, signatures appear on a white background...
[flash=,:2xbwvi8f]http://www.stelplaats.be/screenshots/signaturetest.jpg[/flash:2xbwvi8f]

No problem, I managed to get it the way I want:
In your code:
Code: Select all
<td><span>{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span></td>

REPLACED BY]<td><span>{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span></td>[/code]

But now I get a white line between message and signature...
That's not so bad, but then the black signature-line becomes one to many I think.

I have simplified what you have changed, before i am going to test it.

find line 134
Code: Select all
<td><span><a></a>{postrow.AUTHOR_PANEL}  


replace with]<td><span><a></a>{postrow.AUTHOR_PANEL}  [/code]

And

find line 163
Code: Select all
<tr> <td><br><span>{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span></td> </tr> </table> </td>  


replace with]</table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span>{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span></td>  [/code]

Well, sorry, also with the ajustment from evolver, it's not it, i think

When there is no signature, there is one white line to much.

Last month, I managed to insert extra registration fields and made them visible to postings (as you can see on the screenshots)
The user-info on postings became longer, and some users where asking me if it were possible to put their signatures at the bottom.
Tried that, but didn't know how...
Then I made the user-info next to the messages as compact as possible in a logical way to keep the info understandable. (The date under the 'online'-icon is the last-visit-date)

But I still like the idea of taking signatures to the bottom...

That's why I still haven't transfered this modification to my real site...
I really don't like that white line. :(
We need a different approach...

"Mighty07";p="1465" wrote:...looking for another mod. One that would limit the size of the images in the signature. When users use an external image.
I got some that the image is bigger than the post box! <img>

Yeah, that would be nice too...
Some of my users use banners 740px width...
Then, I personally import them to resize and replace, and ask them not to use more than 600px width in the future...

It would really be nice to get it done automatic...

I know I made a post.. But it does not affect the white line, so never mind.. But if you use a template with no colored lines, like the orginal subBlack, this would not be a problem.

How ever with my site on subBlack I have added color to those table lines.. They original wre the same as the background.

Yes, tried that one before Simon's modification, but it only works a little bit...
Meaning...it lowers signatures, but not always at the bottom, and sometimes even not at all...

Wow never realised would get this many responses. I am using acidtech as a theme and so this all works for me.

Okki reasons for such large chunks of code was just to ensure people missed no changes and had one find and one replace instruction.

The issue of the white lines would surely be from the styles applied to the table in the first place. However i find removing the black line also makes things look tidier.

OK now, I've done another addition to the modification <img>

If there has to be a white line, I don't like it floating between message & signature.
So I added height="1" to the signature row like this:
Code: Select all
<td><span>{postrow.SIGNATURE}</span></td>  
Then, that white line will stay at the bottom, above the signature...
OK, when there's no signature, you will still get 2 lines, but that also looks better down at the end...

Finaly, I'm starting to like this modification...

[hr][color=red]EDIT] With height="1" the signature will already be pulled to the bottom, there is no need for valign="bottom" anymore.

Works much better with the additions mentioned....just remove the __________ line and it looks even better IMHO.

OK, what is the easiest way to remove the "__________" from the sig then?
