I guess this would be the correct forum (although if it's not I'm sure a mod will move it wink ). Basically I'm trying to code a hack that will enable users to decide if they want that "signature tickbox" ticked or not from their profile... However I've got a problem with it...

Quote
code:
Code
In ubb_new_reply.cgi

Replace:

# show signature?
if (($vars_display{AllowSignature} eq 'YES') && ($username ne '')) {
$show_sig = qq(
<input type="checkbox" name="Signature" id="Signature" value="yes" checked="checked" /> $vars_wordlets{show_signature});
}


With:

# show signature?
if (($vars_display{AllowSignature} eq 'YES') && ($username ne '') && ($user_profile[42] eq 'NO')) {
$show_sig = qq(
<input type="checkbox" name="Signature" id="Signature" value="yes" /> $vars_wordlets{show_signature});
} else { if (($vars_display{AllowSignature} eq 'YES') && ($username ne '')) {
$show_sig = qq(
<input type="checkbox" name="Signature" id="Signature" value="yes" checked="checked" /> $vars_wordlets{show_signature});
}
}

Now the problem is that everytime I go to reply to a post the tickbox is always ticked, even when "$user_profile[42]" does equal "NO". However if I reverse the code that is to use the following (note the difference wink ):

code:
[qb]
Code
	# show signature?
if (($vars_display{AllowSignature} eq 'YES') && ($username ne '') && ($user_profile[42] eq 'YES')) {
$show_sig = qq(
<input type="checkbox" name="Signature" id="Signature" value="yes" checked="checked" /> $vars_wordlets{show_signature});
} else { if (($vars_display{AllowSignature} eq 'YES') && ($username ne '')) {
$show_sig = qq(
<input type="checkbox" name="Signature" id="Signature" value="yes" /> $vars_wordlets{show_signature});
}
}
[/qb]
Now the tickbox is now never checked. This leads me to think that there's something wrong with the way I've coded it because it's not finding the variable "$user_profile[42]." However when looking through the file I've found other examples where the "$user_profile[number]" variable is used so now I'm out of ideas. help

Is $user_profile[42] a radio button array or a checkbox?

Radio button(s). Only two options ("YES" and "NO"). That bit of the code seems to be working fine because the YES and NO values are being stored in the memberfile.cgi

Well here\'s the hack (not quite finished) if anyone wants to have a look at it to figure out why it's not working (or to test if it does work on their UBB smirk )

There is a suggestion in one post on the forums:

https://ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000076#000003

However I didn't think it would require the setting of a cookie as well? I was under the impression the profile reference would be enough...
