Extend Signature Size

[dynastyfive]

my site: dynasty5ive.proboards.com

my aim: I'm trying to extend the 500 character limit on signature size for my forum.

what I've done so far:
I created a Custom Profile Field and I've embedded that in my code. Problem is - none of the Custom Profile Fields allow BBCode [ img ] tags.  I want my signatures to contain images.


Thanks in advance!

This isn't possible as neither custom profile fields nor any plugin implementation fully supports BBCode.

Thanks for your reply!

Do you know if it's possible to create a signature field that accepts html code instead?  And if so - how?

[Brian]

A plugin could do it, but I highly recommend against this as allowing any user to author HTML to appear on the page will expose your forum to a multitude of vulnerabilities.

If you had a plugin convert bbcode to HTML on user profile fields, that would be a more secure way to do it. Of course it would only support the bbcode that the plugin programmed in.

it's really weird that this is technically impossible

It's impossible to extend the existing signature, but it's perfectly possible to recreate it with more space. I had a plugin that did just that, but for the life of me I can't find it.

I'll try to track it down and, if I can't, I'll rewrite it.

Any luck on this front?

I did find it, but it I decided I could make improvements, so I am mid way through re-writing it.

dynastyfive, can you please try this...

All you need to do is set the key permissions and away you go.

I have started a support thread here..
