Solved Ticket Sig Addon

[tfmore]

Hello,
We'd like to be able to show the Signatures of certain Usergroups to guests. Figure an Addon could be the easiest way to go about it.

Edit* Forgot to mention that the signature would also need to match up with our current responsive break points, to resize properly on devices.

What do you think?

 

[Russ]

Would registered users see the signatures like normal? I think it could be done with a very simple conditional actually. How many usergroups would have this effect?

 

[tfmore]

Yes. The only change would be the one particular Usergroup having the ability to display their Signature to all, including guests. Another issue is the responsiveness of the signature image itself. I didn't mention before that we'll be allowing the same Usergroup to have one image in their signature. Said image must be no greater than certain dimensions. Was hoping these two things could be tied into an Addon for ease of use.

I'll have @NixFifty take a look at your request, he's in the middle of a move so his time is a little limited but we'll see what he says.

Hi Russ,
Yea this is something we'd need pretty quickly. Could you perhaps recommend someone else?

Thank you

Thank you

How quickly will you need this? I can fit this in sometime this week.

My hourly rate is $70. I don't anticipate it taking more than 1-2 hours.

Hello,
Yes that would be great. It's a deal.

Now that I think about it, I guess it's probably best to separate them in to 2 Addons. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thank you!

Changing dimensions of a signature image can be achieved with some simple CSS rather than with an add-on. Something like this would work:

.message .signature img {
   max-width: 100%;
}

I'll start on the add-on tomorrow.

 

[tfmore]

Thank you very much, however the max allowable sig image size will need to be 468x60. How will the 100% accomplish that exactly? Meaning to say... responsiveness occurs perfectly without any added css code, but when a max size limit is added, that's when things go south.

Just to chime in, you could do some simple CSS:

.message .signature img
{
   max-width: 468px;
   max-height: 60px;
}
@media (max-width:480px) { .Responsive .message .signature img { max-width: 100%; } }

This would make the max width 468px until you reach 480px (room for content padding) then it'll go to max-100% and shrink in responsive.

Hi guys,
Unfortunately that doesn't work Russ. We've been trying different variations of code, but nothing works 100%. With the code you provided above, the sig banner currently breaks out of the box. Info: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/resizing-signatures-in-responsive.57094/#post-608299

 

[Russ]

On my CSS I gave you, replace 480px with like 750px, see if that helps.

 

[tfmore]

That works! Thanks Russ.

@Russ @NixFifty
There was one other Addon we needed down the road a bit, but If you're able to develop it now, please feel free. With this one, I realize it can be accomplished/triggered by a Promotion, but we need it in Addon form. It is a slight alteration of this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/minimum-posts.5091/

That Addon would be perfect for our needs aside from one detail, and that is the ability to restrict from replying in Threads rather than just Forums. Tried this but it did not work: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/reckons-team-post-count-required-for-thread.3885/

Possible?

 

[tfmore]

Wanted to clarify that the Thread/posts should still be visible, just without the ability to reply.

@Russ @NixFifty Hey guys, some things:

So a year or so ago we made a list of every Addon we'd need, the Sig viewable by guests was one of them. Fast forward to last week when we started finalizing all permissions in preparation for launch, then tonight my noticing an option to "Show Signature to Guests".

So apparently we already have this, and it was just hiding. I was completely unaware of this. Therefore, because I didn't hear from you last week Nix, I can only assume you haven't had the time to build it. If that is the case, and you haven't begun work, please do not build the Sig Addon, but instead just build the later mentioned one in Post #14.

If you have begun work on either/both addons, please finish and just disregard this message. We'd still be perfectly happy having yours as well! We may donate one to the XF community (however that is done). If you have begun and need to take a look at this other guest sig addon just let me know and I'll send it over.

Thanks, sorry about the confusion

No worries. Feel free to send over your existing add-on and I can check it over compared to my code.

I'll knock out the other add-on sometime this weekend.

 

[tfmore]

Oh man if you already started it we'll use yours instead. I just thought I should try to catch you before you did start, incase you hadn't yet. Roger that on the other Addon, can't wait to see it.

 

[NixFifty]

Okay, that's fine. I'll have the other finished in the next couple days and will get em over to you.

 

[tfmore]

@NixFifty Great! Yep totally up to you if you want to complete the Sig Addon, either way is fine by us.

I meant to send you the previous Addon we have. If you're going to skip delivering that one to us, but you'd like to use it's code to apply it to your own, I'll be happy to send it.
