Is anyone using q2a-signatures plugin in 1.6.2 ?

Question

I've found some issues, I think that the master-branch on github

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-signatures

has not been tested on q2a 1.6.2.

- the signature section doesn't display at all. In fact the options values in the admin page are not correct :

PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant QA_PERMIT_USER - assumed 'QA_PERMIT_USER' in /q2a/qa-plugin/q2a-signatures/qa-sig-admin.php on line 18

PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant QA_PERMIT_ADMIN - assumed 'QA_PERMIT_ADMIN' in /q2a/qa-plugin/q2a-signatures/qa-sig-admin.php on line 20

 

(I think they should be QA_PERMIT_USERS and QA_PERMIT_ADMINS, but I may be wrong)

 

- when I submit a new post (q,a,c), I see the new post and do not see the signature immediately. I have to refresh the page to see it.

 

- the characters counter does not decrease when I type

 

- if I enable the ckeditor4, I have 2 editors active (and not only one)

 

Finally, but I think that this behaviour is "wanted", the signature section is displayed in the user profile page, which should be a read-only page, in my opinion. The widget should be in the account page.

Not working to for php 7.4

You might want to use the "about" field for this purpose (at least i did this for another project).

And then output this content below the user info, using an advanced theme:

// override to add about field below user meta below user-meta
function post_avatar_meta($post, $class, $avatarprefix=null, $metaprefix=null, $metaseparator='<br/>')
{
    // called for answer with: post_avatar_meta($a_item, 'qa-a-item');
    
    $this->output('<span class="'.$class.'-avatar-meta">');
    $this->post_avatar($post, $class, $avatarprefix);
    $this->post_meta($post, $class, $metaprefix, $metaseparator);
    $this->output('</span>');
    
    // if post is answer query to get meta
    if($class=='qa-a-item') {
        $userid = $post['raw']['userid'];
        // not anonymous
        if(isset($userid)) {
            // qa_userprofile with: name, about
            // sorted and removed: contact + name + specialized + website
            $userMetas = qa_db_read_all_assoc( qa_db_query_sub('SELECT title,content FROM `^userprofile`
                                                                WHERE `userid` = #
                                                                AND `content` != ""
                                                                ORDER BY title
                                                                ;', $userid) );
            $metaOutput = '';
            $metacount = count($userMetas);
            $name = '';
            $about = '';
            
            if($metacount>0) {
                foreach($userMetas as $metaItem) {
                    // order: contact + name + specialized + website
                    if($metaItem['title']=='name') {
                        $name = $metaItem['content'];
                    }
                    else if($metaItem['title']=='about') {
                        $name = $metaItem['content'];
                    }
                }
                
                $metaOutput = $name.'<br />'.$about;

                $this->output('<div style="clear:both;"></div>
                <div class="bmeta">
                    '.$metaOutput.'
                </div>');

            }
        }
    }
}

thank you very much, I'll test your code. To say the truth now I still have to learn what an "advanced theme" exactly is :-) and how it works, so I still need some time to do it ! :-)
I've put it in my todo list !

it's quite easy: open qa-theme\yourtheme\qa-theme.php ← adv. theme

There you can override all functions that you find in qa-include\qa-theme-base.php

See examples in snow theme and others.

Important: you can call the original function (add some code and call original) by e.g.:

    function a_list($a_list)
    {
        // call default method output
        qa_html_theme_base::a_list($a_list);
        // add your coding and output
        $dummy = 2;
        $this->output('    my other stuff here '.$dummy);
    }

Thanks for code it works fine.But can i get some help modifying it ?

I dublicated "if(isset($userid)) {....... } " part for diferent type of signature (i need 2 types of signatures). Everything looks ok, but when one of signature field is filled, another unfilled shows up. How can i solve that ?
