Howto: make each user's signature only appear once per page

This is quite a simple change for the Signatures plugin:

Find the _DrawSignature function.

The last statement in the function should be:

echo $Display;

Add two lines above that:

// Ensure sig only renders once for each user
unset($UserSignatures[$SourceUserID]);
$Sender->SetData('Plugin-Signatures-UserSignatures', $UserSignatures);

This will unset the user's signature from the signature cache after the first time it is rendered on the page.

Hope someone finds it useful!

    @jamesinc, I did almost the exact same thing for my community.

    Hi @jamesinc. Please, give more detailes. Should we add:

            // Ensure sig only renders once for each user
            unset($UserSignatures[$SourceUserID]);
              $Sender->SetData('Plugin-Signatures-UserSignatures', $UserSignatures);
        echo $Display;
    

    Right? In what file? In what place?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @mirX, sorry for the lateness of my reply!

    This is what my plugins/Signatures/class.signatures.plugin.php looks like, starting at line 283:

             // Ensure sig only renders once for each user
             unset($UserSignatures[$SourceUserID]);
             $Sender->SetData('Plugin-Signatures-UserSignatures', $UserSignatures);
    
             echo $Display;
    

    In case there is any ambiguity, I have zipped the version of Signatures I am currently using in production (1.1.5)

    I have updated this for 1.5.6

    In class.signatures.plugin.php, find the following (line 346):

    if (!is_null($RequestUserID)) 
       return GetValue($RequestUserID, $Signatures, $Default);
    

    And replace it with:

    if (!is_null($RequestUserID)) {
       $Sig = GetValue($RequestUserID, $Signatures, $Default);
       unset($Signatures[$RequestUserID]);
    
       return $Sig;
    }
    
  • Another way of doing it is to only show the signature when you hover over the post, with a little bit of jquery.

    grep is your friend.

  • Thanks @jamesinc for assistance!

    Your amendment to version 1.5.6 works fine! <3

    Thanks @x00 for good idea. What do you think is it possible to show the signature along with small Sharethis buttons when you hover over the post?
