Signatures

You can use HTML and CSS in your signatures. The following variables can also be used to display author information (they are case-sensitive):

• %LOGIN% – Login name
• %FIRST% – First name
• %LAST% – Last name
• %NICK% – Nickname
• %EMAIL% – Email address
• %URL% – Website
• %DESC% – Description/Bio

Standard Usage

To show the signature on a post or page, simply type in the proper trigger text.

Primary signature:
<!-- ddsig -->

Signature 2:
<!-- ddsig2 -->

Signature 3:
<!-- ddsig3 -->

Etc..

Note: Be sure you enter the trigger text using the ‘Code View’ in WordPress – not the new visual text editor.

Automatic Usage

If you prefer, you can have the plugin automatically display the signature on the pages you specify with the options below. Note: These options only apply to the primary signature.

Display on index page
When enabled, this option will show the signature after each post on your index page.

Display on posts
When enabled, this option will show the signature on each single post page.

Display on static pages
When enabled, this option will show the signature on each static page.

Display on archive pages
When enabled, this option will show the signature on each archive page. This includes both date and category archives.

Display on search pages
When enabled, this option will show the signature on each search results page.

Other Uses

What if you want to show an image of the author at the bottom of the posts? Standard WordPress profiles do not include an option for an author image, but it is easy to do with this plugin.

Just add something like this to your signature field:

<img src="/authors/%NICK%.jpg" />

Then all you have to do is create an ‘authors’ directory on your server, containing an image for each author (with their nickname for the filename).

Modifications

Disable automatic line breaks in signatures
Find this code in the script:
$ddsig_data = get_option('ddsig_data');After it, add the following:
$ddsig_data = str_replace(array("\n","\r"), array("", ""), $ddsig_data);That will strip out the newline/return characters from the signature. To do the same to the other signature fields, just duplicate that line with the other variable names (ddsig_data2, etc..)
