Thread

I’ve searched the forum and user guide.
I’m running my forums through the templates and have this code:

{if signature}
{signature}{group_id} -{total_forum_posts}
{/if}

It appears the {if} is working but the signature outputs {signature} and doesn’t seem to parse the EE tag…

??

I’m baffled so I’m reaching out for help.

By the way… I just added {group_id} and such to see if other tags were being parsed and they are.
HELP!
Thanks!

Sheye,

What version and build of EE are you on and likewise the Forum module?

What template are you adding this code to, the signature template?

Also as an aside here is a useful document
EE Docs : Forum Global Variables

EE - 1.6.8
Forums - 2.1.2

I have the following in a template called “forums”

<h3>Forum</h3>
<p>{exp:forum board="name_of_forum"}

Everything works on the forums and I have no issues except inserting signatures.

Hi Sheye-

Can you let us know which “Forum template” your code is located in?

{if signature}
{signature}{group_id} -{total_forum_posts}
{/if}

This will help us further debug your issue.

Also, can you try using {signature} without the conditional statement? Then let us know what the output is.

Hi Adam,
It’s in the theme_threads.php file of the forums.

I tried removing the {if signature} and found something interesting.

It was still only showing {signature} as a tag.  The {group_id} -{total_forum_posts} was the current logged in users info for every single post.

Instead of being the post author’s info it was my info on every single post.

Thanks.

Sheye,

Are you adding this code to the signature function?

This is where you would add it and then to include that in any other function use

{if signature}
{include:signature}
{/if}

I’ve been trying to figure out how to show each forum users signature and signature image just like you have in your post above.

I tried the code you provided but no signature shows up.  It’s not working…

Below is a snippet of the code from theme_threads.php in which everything works except the signature portion:

<div class="replyLink"><a href="http://{path:post_link}">{post_date format="%M %d, %Y %h:%i%a"}</a></div>

{if avatar}<div class="avatar">{path:avatars}</div>{/if}
        
           <div class="authorInfo" >
               <div class="authorName {rank_class}"><a href="http://{path:member_profile}">{author}</a></div>
            <div class="authorPosts">{lang:total_posts} {total_posts}</div>
           {if can_view_ip}<div class="authorIP">{ip_address}</div>{/if}
           {if can_ban}<div class="banMember"><a href="http://{path:ban_member}">{lang:ban_member}</a></div>{/if}
       </div>

    <div class="body{switch="|2"} post">
        {body}  

        {if signature}
        {include:signature}
        {/if} 
        
        {if attachments}{include:post_attachments}{/if}

     </div>

Sheye,

Does the signature portion still exist in that file?

//-------------------------------------
//  Signature
//-------------------------------------

function signature()
{
return <<< EOF
<fieldset class='signature'>
                    
<legend class="signatureTitle"> {lang:signature} </legend>

{if signature_image}
<div class="itempad">{path:signature_image}</div>
{/if}

{signature}

</fieldset>
EOF;
}
/* END */

I don’t believe this thread to be technical support anymore but more of a theme customisation question so I am gonna move this to How to for you.

That was it!
The signature function was commented out… Strange!

Thanks so much!

Great. Glad it was a simple fix 😊
