How to show a user's signature only once per THREAD?

[Pamela]

Does anyone know how I can make our member's signatures appear only once per THREAD?

I found the code for once per thread PAGE (but I need just once per entire thread).

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thank you so much!!!

ETA: And yes, I already checked with vb.org and couldn't find per thread (only per page). Thanks!

Then I guess Pam that you may be better off asking the code author of the hack you found on vB.org as to how to amend his/her hack to allow once per thread instead of once per thread page. At least that hack gets you 90% of the way to where you want to be

Good luck.

I did and so did another member from quite a while ago, but he hasn't answered. He's answered other questions in the thread, so he might not know. So if anyone here knows that would be wonderful!

This is how to get signatures to show up only once per thread PAGE:

- - - - -

In the postbit or postbit_legacy template, find:

<if condition="$post['signature']"> 

And replace it with this one:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true"> 

- - - - -

So it might only need a slight change to make signatures show up only once per THREAD (instead of per page)...but I have no clue what that change would be! *sigh*

The code you posted doesn't really make sense...

Unfortunately, I don't know how to adjust that to only show once per thread, sorry.

[Pamela]

Thanks anyway Colin!

The code does work to make signatures show up once per PAGE, since I'm currently using it without problem on my board. I just wish I knew how to edit it to make signatures show up just once per THREAD instead.


Does anyone know?

[UtahNissans]

any news on this? I would like to know as well

No, no one seems to know.

The code I posted above works great for having signatures show up only once per PAGE...but not once per THREAD. *sigh*

thanks that helps out a little bit

[$thread[userid]] = true"> maybe?

Is there any reason why this mod would not work for me? I'm using 3.5.4, and I only want sigs once per page.

You'd need to edit the mod's configurations via your admin cp. I think this is one of those that you must configure and enable before it'll work mod... Please also note that Jelsoft does not support mod / custom coding, so you'd need to ask help about that from the mod author yourself via vbulletin.org (IE: reply to the thread entry).

[SID297]

Figured it out, it needed to be done in the postbit legacy template.
