Signatures put into an iframe

[Prince]

Before I upgraded to vB 3.5.x and updated my templates... in my postbit I had my $sig set-up with an iframe where I could put a size limit so if your signature went beyond the set height it would turn into a scrolling box.

Can one of you html gurus give me that code?

Thanks!

It doesnt have to be an iframe specifically, it can be done with a simple div.

Open postbit or postbit_legacy

find

<if condition="$post['signature']">
        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________<br />
                $post[signature]
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->
        </if>

Replace with

<if condition="$post['signature']">
        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________
                <div style="overflow: auto; height: [COLOR=red]xx[/COLOR]px">$post[signature]</div>
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->
        </if>

Just replace xx with whichever height you want. It should scroll if it goes over specified height.

it *should* work fine. I just tested it on its own and it was okay.

thanks, that worked.

is there any way so when it goes above the higher px setting that there are no horizontal bars, just the vertical?

The problem that you run into there is that if the user's signature is an image, and smaller than the predefined height, the clickable area will be the size of the defined height, not the size of the image.

For example, if the height is set to 200px, and my image is 100x100, there will be a 100px high blank space that will be clickable if I wrap the IMG tag in URL tags.

For that to work you'd need to grab the height of the linked image on the fly and adjust the height tag accordingly.
