Forum Signature Question

[Teg]

I know by default, all members have the option to create a forum signature. What I would like to know is if it is possible to disable that option for all users except certain people?

Hey Teg The only way I can think of is through Javascript since it's not easily done through the layout templates. Is that something you still need?

[Teg]

Ulises, ah Okay. Yes, this is something that I'm still looking for. I'd like to allow only certain users (likely by ids and/or groups) to have access to that feature.

What I've wound up doing is leaving it accessible but using the templates to disable signature display except certain groups, + using Brian's Custom Profile fields organiser to leave a note on affected groups that their sigs are disabled.

Am I right to assume there's a way to do that for specific users as well as well as groups. I only ask because some users may not be a part of the group where I want that enabled. If that makes sense.

Absolutely, you'd be able to specify both through a combination statement, eg (not verbatim, just an example), {if $[user.group_name] == "admin" || $[user.id] == 2}

Thank you, Kami! I'll take a look at Brian's Plugin and see if I can work it out. If not, I may tag you in a thread somewhere! I appreciate the insight

Teg Here is the way I was thinking of (credit to Brian since the base code comes from him):

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var disabled_user_ids = [226544, 12345];
if(pb.data('route').name.indexOf('edit_user') != -1 && disabled_user_ids.indexOf(pb.data('user').id) > -1 ){
   $('.edit-user label').each(function(){
       if($(this).text() == "Signature") {
           $(this).hide();
           $(this).next().hide();
           $(this).next().next().hide();
           $(this).next().next().next().hide();
}});}});
</script>

You'd just need to add the user ids in between the brackets in this part, [226544, 12345]; -- with a comma and that's basically it. Place it in your global header.

Thank you Ulises! I will save the code and try it out. Especially since it'll reduce the amount of plugins I need.

Plugins are also javascript so I'm not sure what's being reduced really?

Maybe Teg wants to save a plugin slot -- though those are gonna be unlimited soon anyways. ¯\_(?)_/¯

Exactly this! LOL, as it is right now, I'd have to purchase additional superkeys for what I'm trying to do. And, that sucks! lol

Unlimited soon.... how soon!?

I think Pat put it best in this post.
