  • Default signature for all members?

Your question in theSupport tag seems to be missing the php flarum info output.

Providing this information in your initial request:

  • reduces back and forth asking for this information

navindra thanks!

I want all members to have the same signature by default.

If they want, they can change the default signature to something personal.

Otherwise it remains the default one.

    orschiro I'd like to understand your use case a little better -- why do you want to configure a default signature for everyone in the forum?

    I don't believe I've ever seen any forum work that way, so interested in understanding your case. 🙂

        navindra I have created a guest account which I want to feature in the signature under each post so that guest can easily find the information while reading a discussion. 🙂

            orschiro Interesting.

            And so you want to have a username and password in the signature, so that someone can use that to sign in and reply without creating an account?

            If so, wouldn't it be better to have an Anonymous extension that lets you post either anonymously or just with a username?

            Or maybe have the information show on hover or when clicking Reply?

                orschiro Nice idea! How to implement?

                In Adminstration -> Appearance, you can Edit Custom Header.

                I think you should be able to specify some CSS for a tooltip, some JS to insert a hover-activated block for the tooltip before/after the reply items... haven't tried it though, so you may run into challenges.

                    navindra thanks! 🙂

                    For now I customised the footer.

                    You can check it out at philundrob.de

                    Not as good as a default signature but at least a good workaround. 🙂

                        orschiro You can add a signature message that appears automatically below all your comments

                        Use this CSS code in your custom CSS:

                        .CommentPost .Post-body::after {
    content: "This is a signature area. It appears below all comments.";
    display: block;
    margin-top: 10px;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: var(--control-bg-shaded);
    border-top: 1px solid var(--muted-color);
    font-size: 0.9em;
    color: var(--text-color);
    text-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

                        You can customize the colors, but in its current form, the design will work seamlessly with both light and dark modes. Additionally, you won't need to use a signature extension after adding this.

                        Demo:

                            orschiro You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful to you. By the way, I understand what you're trying to do, and I want to let you know that I've developed an extension that directly solves your problem

                            Login / Register Modal

                            Settings Page

                                orschiro It's still early access, and developing this extension while ensuring security is time-consuming. I plan to seek sponsorship instead of making it paid and will start a proposal discussion soon. For now, it's only being used on my own forum

                                    huseyinfiliz can I somehow use it as well or only once it's made available on Free Flarum?

                                    Is there a way to upload a custom extension?

                                        orschiro The extension will be usable on FreeFlarum once released

                                        It won't to be paid extension, as I plan to sustain it through donations. Of course, after the extension is released, a "request extension" thread must be created in the FreeFlarum support forum and approved by FreeFlarum.

                                            huseyinfiliz thanks!

                                            Can you let me know once it's released?

                                            Then I'm going to request it on the Free Flarum forum.

                                              6 days later

                                              huseyinfiliz perfect bro, if I hope it only shows bellow the discussion, how can I change the code.
