UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? -------line before signature?

Hi gurus!

How do I make the line before signature?

Can I make it different than the boring -------?

In showflat/showthreaded.php look for code simular to this:



And modify the dashed line accordingly.

You may want to place a variable in so it can be changed from the admin area.
Example:



and then in your admin >> edit theme.inc.php add this at the bottom text area:



Change the value to what ever you want of course.


I believe this will work. I haven't tested it though.

Errr, I can't find that code in showflat/threaded.php files..

I'm running ubb.threads 6.0.2.

thanks,

Try searching for just this

if ($Signature)


then you can look and match up the rest. if that does not work search for signature. I don't have a copy of 6.02 sitting around.

You will find something like the code above. You note that you are only changing one area in the code.

<br />--------------------<br />

to

<br />{$theme['sig_line']}<br />


Then again if you have a copy of 6.02 there have been alot of enhancements to Threads you might want to go to the member's area and download a copy.

Is it possible to replace that with an image?

like a small 5px high line?

i tried but with no success..

so now im looking for help

Yeah... use standard HTML, except you need to put a \ before each quote so it doesn't break the code:

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/sigline.gif" alt="*" border="0" />

Should work for you.

AH HA, that was my mistake.

Thanks Josh

Yeah, in PHP since you have the value for the signature line inside quotes... when you use quotes within, it "breaks" the string. The \ comments them out so that the "real" quotes on either end contain the string.

Common issue for new hackers.
