Advanced Forum Signatures for MyBB 1.6.x & 1.4.x
Author: Steven, [email protected]
Latest Version: 2.0.4 - 9/14/2010

Introduction
Advanced Forum Signatures allows your users to create custom signatures for use on your forum or around the web. These signatures are capable of displaying user-specific information and community statistics, along with the user's avatar. An easy-to-use personalized control panel is tied directly into the existing user control panel, allowing your user's to easily create and access their custom signatures.

Overview
Advanced Forum Signatures allows you and your members to create custom and unique signatures for use around the internet. A MyBB Administration Panel plugin implements a very easy-to-use control panel for changing settings on the fly. There is no code editing and no worries of changing something you weren't supposed to.

Features

• Easy-to-use ACP plugin
  
• Supports both userbar-style signatures and classic full signatures
  
• A personalized control panel tied directly into the existing user control panel
  
• Customized message is displayed on every signature
  
• Users have complete control over predefined signature content
  
• Avatars are displayed on full signature styles
  
• User settings are stored in the database
  
• UTF-8 Compatibility
  

Installation
To install Advanced Forum Signatures, simply upload all the files in the "Upload" directory to the root of your forum installation. If required, choose to merge the folders (depends on method of uploading). Next, visit the Administration Control Panel, go to Configuration, and choose Plugins on the side menu. Click Activate next to Advanced Forum Signatures. You can now access all the settings by going to Settings on the side menu then clicking Advanced Forum Signatures.

Good work Steven, keep it up

Very good plugin. Thank you, Steven.

Awesome work.
Thank you.

Love it.
Just found one small bug...
The number of total posts (for the board) is actually showing the number of users.
edit signature.php, and change .$stats['numusers'] to .$stats['numposts']

Whoops! Many thanks for finding that! I'll release an update in a minute!

Hi
not Support UTF-8 ?

Congrats for the strong release. Looking forward to other work you release.

Thanks everybody. 1.0.1 has been released fixing the small bug Gordie found. It also adds Version Check, my system for notifying you when a new version is out.

I have not extensively tested this in a language other than English. It should be completely language independent, though, if you're using it without fonts. In future versions you'll be able to add custom fonts to use.

not support UTF-8
text is unknown.
