UPDATE: I just realized that the insert-avatar icon on the toolbar is from the Add-Local-Avatar plugin (P.Sterling), so that's probably why its not functional there. I was able to insert into the signature the shortcode created by that icon in the Add New Posts window. This created the avatar in the signature. However, I couldn't put the signature text and avatar on the same line. Therefore it uses up more space than is ideal. Any ideas? (BTW, I still think programming the plugin to insert the avatar in the signature would be a great feature).

Hi Keighl, I just downloaded your plugin. It seems like the best thing out there for signatures. I also noticed what seemed like an unadvertised bonus. On the user profile signature area, the toolbar has the insert-avatar icon. However, when I tried to use it, it didn't work. It sure would be a great feature to be able to include the avatar as part of the signature. So is the icon a red-herring or am I doing something wrong?

I noticed the buttons in your screenshot contains less than those that show up when the plugin is activated.

I am using a theme that has a custom author profile page that eliminates the need to use the profile area in the Wordpress admin backend. Is there any way to have the actual TinyMCE form appear outside of the admin backend so that my users can enter their signature?

Great plugin!

Thx

I like the idea of using shortcode to put the signature anywhere you'd like.

I currently have it set now, but when viewing pages, other plugins that use the post footer (FB Like button) tend to clutter that area (signature will display with the like button directly after it). Perhaps I can put a new paragraph at the end of the current signature code, but the shortcode seems easier to use.

I just pushed a new version (0.6) which lets you choose to display the signature on archive pages.

That would be great as I include the entire post on the home page - blog.slocountyhomes.com

Also, thanks for the quick reply!

Hey, Keith. I took the signature off archive pages (like home, category, archive, etc.). I made the decision since most blogs (from I've seen) use excerpts on the front page. However, if you want it back, I can make it optional!

Should have added that I have “Yes” checked for both pages and posts by default on the profile page.

I just upgraded to Ver 5 from Ver 4 and my signatures disappeared from the posts on the home page. I noticed from a previous post that this may be intentional as of 5.0? Is there a way to have the signature appear on both the home page AND post details? Thanks!!

This should clarify what I mean by The Loop: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

HI keighl,
I am still unclear what do you mean I must apply the template tag within the loop.
where should i copy template tag to? the style.css or a page.php
sorry for the ignorance.

These problems are history as of v0.5. Now you can edit the html directly, and the signatures do not appear on archive pages (including home page).

Hi, Dylan. Thanks for the input. I'll definitely address these issues. I'm guessing you're archive templates are using the_excerpt(), no?

It's very easy to use but..
1. There's no way to edit the html directly.
2. The signature is shown on the homepage, which is not what I expected. I only want to show them in the post detail page.

Thanks:)

I just committed v0.4. It should address your problem with blank pages, and I added a simple template tag for you to use: tinymce_signature();

The template tag doesn't take into account the author's preferences (to display or not) ... so if a signature exists for the user it will print the signature. Must be used within the loop.

Let me know if you still have any problems!

I'm using WP 2.9.1

I've also noticed that your newest version 0.3 makes all of my pages and posts blank. When I downgrade back to 0.2 everything works fine.

I'm looking to be able to put a piece of code into the page template and have the signature show up where the piece of code is entered. Right now I have a photo of the author at the top of the page aligned left to have the text wrap around it. I'm looking for the signature to show up below the photo.

Are you thinking at the very top of your post, or just somewhere near the top? I could make it optional to appear at the beginning or at the end. Or I could create a shortcode ( [tmce_signature] ) for you to stick into the post manually.
