Force Signature to the Bottom

[dancue]

Here is a small contribution to this community.

I noticed that this template modification was available for 3.0 and 3.5, but not for 3.7.

Credits:
Was motivated by the original hack, created by Brad.


What does it do?
It will allow you to place the signature at the very bottom of the post.

What's the difference between this and the previous versions?

The table area for the signature will shrink to fit the signature. This will avoid the bottom table from directly following the end of a post.
The edited note has been moved to the absolute bottom. (On past versions they have showed directly after the post, before the sig.)


Versions tested and working on:

3.7.0


Notes:

This is ONLY for postbit_legacy users.
Those with very customized templates may reply to this thread or pm me for a different code. Please make a copy of your postbit_legacy before altering it.
Support is offered to the best of my ability and when time permits.
I will only offer support to those who have clicked install.


Installation:

Find in postbit_legacy template:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

replace with:

Thanks Man :)

[dancue]

No problem.

[Tom_S]

Hmmm... I don't have that line:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">


I'm running 3.7.0 RC1 Ideas?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:
I lost that line because of another mod but after looking at the default I learned that is line 27 so I just added it there anyway and modified it as it was. It didn't however work for me. The signature remains as it was. :(

[Tom_S]

Little tinkering an walla..no problemo ;)

[Rat1972]

I have a white stripe in the middle of the posts? Is there a sollution to let it disapear?

[tiekie]

I'm glad you figured it out. Sorry I didn't get to you sooner. Forgot to setup pm alerts to new replies...:)

It has to do with the cellspacing. Refer to this (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1096869&postcount=12) post. See if that works. Personally, I like the line there, so I will not be making the change.

Cool. Glad you liked it.

[dancue]

Ok. None of you hit the installed button...

Doesn't take long to do it.

I have a question.
The article content is different from signature color

Easy fix. Mark as Installed and I'll tell you what to do.

That one works.

That will work also. Like I said on my first post though....this one will not follow the post immediately like the other one does. It also moves the "edited by" note to the bottom of the sig, instead of the bottom of the post.

Already changed that "Easy fix" 'cos I prefer postbit to remain one colour .. clicked install. :up:

Sorry bout that. Got it ;)

Sorry bout that. Got it ;)

Thanks man!:)

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

yay! thanks! :D

[yaoren]

I clicked in install and would like to change the sig bg color to match the post bg color please :)

[dancue]

The post bg color should either be alt1 or alt2. If you installed the code provided here and it did not match then you would have to do the following:

I've highlighted the change in red. This change is replacing the last step mentioned above in my first post.

Hope this helps.

[yaoren]

Worked perfectly, thanks!

[Wheezy]

I cannot get this to work. I have a custom skin downloaded on my vB 3.7 so I think those templates are interfering with this code. Can someone help me out?

*EDITED CODE OUT*

Also... is there a way to extend the signature line to extend across the entire post? THANKS!!!

[dancue]

Can you copy your postbit_legacy template and pm it to me? I'd like to take a look at it.

[UberDoober]

Clicked "Installed" !

I love you, man! Ugraded to 3.7.0 Gold from 3.6.8PL2 and didn't revert my 3.6.8 template. Noticed that "edited by" only showed up on users with no signatures so had to bite the bullet and revert and modify the new one. I'm a noob at this and it scared me to death but all is well! Job Done!

Cheers! Thank you!

[dancue]

Wheezy, I sent it back to you. Let me know if it works.

Uber,
Your welcome. Thanks for the support.

[siNix]

Dancue, i clicked on the instal button. do you have the anwser to my question ? :) if its possible also the colour of the text :)

[dancue]

The color and size of text in a signature is determined by the user who is creating his signature.

If you are wanting to change the default, that is different. I haven't done that myself. In fact, those who do not create their own signature, simply do not have one.

Do you have it set to give the user a saying automatically? Is that another hack?

[Subah]

Great mod , thanks a lot :)

Hello !!

[dancue]

Hi !!

[dancue]

First of all, I don't know if you meant to come off as being rude, but those two exclamation points, sure indicated that that was the case.

Second. Remember this is a free mod supported when I have the TIME.

Third. Replace your postbit_legacy with this one:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Let me know if that works out.

[Subah]

First thank you for your help
Second if i`am asking for help is that being rude to you ?

[dancue]

No. exclamation points come off as being rude or insistent. That's all.

Anyways, it's not a big deal anymore...did it work?

[Subah]

I`am sorry for the exclamation points i don`t know that befor.

Yes thank you again it is work fine , but there is some thing i want to ask you about it , are you arabic ?
because the postbit code that you give it to me having arabic words ?

[dancue]

No, I am not. Sorry. I simply copied your postbit and then made a minor adjustment. I did not add any arabic words.

[Schnee]

Hi, I think this is what I want, but does anyone have a picture of how things looked BEFORE they installed this hack and then after?

Thanks!

[0_0Zee0_0]

greetings,

i have installed the mod ... but its showing 2 shades on the postbit ... how can this be fixed to one color as it would have been without the mod ...

That should do it for the first bit of coding.

Let me know if you need help with the second.

[LCN2007]

Great it worked but how do i get rid of the line that makes it look like to seperate boxes?

I would like it if it looked like one box instead of being seperated by a line and t shades of color.

[LCN2007]

any help?

[dancue]

The shade of colors is controlled by the value "alt" is set to.

The line is controlled by cellspacing I believe. Change the value to 0.

[Raptor]

fyi this one worked perfect on vb 3.7.1

Unless I have made some sort of mistake with this installed your thread pages will no longer contain valid HTML, to a human they will look fine but to bots (i.e. google) they the markup is invalid.

If you take the standard legacy postbit and only change it to include this change 61 errors are created when checking validation here:
