I got pretty tired going into my profile, changing my profile, and to see if it looks ok, post a message, then if it doesn't, do the step all over again. (Which could take a while.  )
So here's the mod if anyone wants it.
http://www.dsilvera.com/forum/mods/signature_preview.zip
Blue lines are lines that have been added. Red lines/text are what have been changed. Green lines are commented. You are gonna modify 4 files. inc_profile.asp, register.asp pop_preview.asp and pop_profile.asp.
In inc_profile.asp, insert the following after line 522:
strTxtSig = RS("M_SIG") %>
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>" align=right valign=top nowrap><b><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">Signature: </font></b></td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><textarea maxLength="255" name="Sig" cols="25" rows=4><% =Trim(cleancode(strTxtSig)) %></textarea></td>
</tr>
<% ' ################ Signature Preview Mod ################ %>
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>" align=right valign=top nowrap>& nbsp ;</td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><center><input name="Preview" type="button" value=" Preview Signature" onclick="OpenPreview()"></center></td>
</tr>
<% ' #######################################################
In register.asp insert the following javascript after the <!-- # INCLUDE FILE="inc_top.asp" --> at the top:<script language="JavaScript">
<!--// ####### Signature Preview Mod ##########
function OpenPreview()
{
var curCookie = "strSignaturePreview=" + escape(document.form1.Sig.value);
document.cookie = curCookie;
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
}
//-->
</script>
In pop_preview.asp, replace:<%
strMessagePreview = Request.Cookies("strMessagePreview")
Response.Cookies("strMessagePreview") = ""
if strMessagePreview = "" or IsNull(strMessagePreview) then
strMessagePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[ /b ][ /center ]"
end if with:<% ' ########## Signature Preview Mod #################
if Request.Cookies("strSignaturePreview") = "" or IsNull(strSignaturePreview) then
strMessagePreview = Request.Cookies("strMessagePreview")
Response.Cookies("strMessagePreview") = ""
if strMessagePreview = "" or IsNull(strMessagePreview) then
strMessagePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[ /b ][ /center ]"
end if
strPreview = strMessagePreview
else
strSignaturePreview = Request.Cookies("strSignaturePreview")
Response.Cookies("strSignaturePreview") = ""
if strSignaturePreview = "" or IsNull(strSignaturePreview) then
strSignaturePreview = "[ center ][ b ]< There is no text to preview ! >[ /b ][ /center ]"
end if
strPreview = strSignaturePreview
end if
' ######################################################
Also change the strMessagePreview in the following line:<font color="<% =strForumFontColor %>" face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><% =formatStr(chkString(strMessagePreview,"preview")) %></font> to strPreview:<font color="<% =strForumFontColor %>" face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><% =formatStr(chkString(strPreview,"preview")) %></font>
continued next post...

Last but not least, in <b>pop_profile.asp</b> add the javascript after the <i><!-- INCLUDE FILE = "inc_top.asp" --></i> and the 'end if':
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_top.asp" -->
<% end if
<font color=green>' ########### Signature Preview Mod #############</font id=green>
%>
<font color=blue><script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function OpenPreview()
{
var curCookie = "strSignaturePreview=" + escape(document.Form1.Sig.value);
document.cookie = curCookie;
popupWin = window.open('pop_preview.asp', 'preview_page', 'scrollbars=yes,width=450,height=250')
}
//-->
</script></font id=blue>
<% <font color=green>' ##########################################</font id=green></font id=code></pre id=code>
That's it.

This is an "OUTSTANDING" concept and I certainly appreciate it! Nothing more irritating to me then seeing 50,000 messages testing signatures :)
Cheers,
Tim

Yeah, I totally agree. I wanted to change my sig and realized what a long process it was. So i thought why not put the preview function to the signature box too? <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
Don't know why we never thought of it before. LoL

isuru, lolz.
it should be quality not quantity of posts that matter.
# of posts shouldn't be a concern.
I take that back, it does count when you want users to participate more in your own snitz forum.
Oh yeah good mod, Davio.

Davio,
Great mod, but when I tried to preview my sig. I got a script error message box that pointed me to this line: <pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>var curCookie = "strSignaturePreview=" + escape(document.Form1.Sig.value);</font id=code></pre id=code>
Thoughts? Thank you

You might try changing <b>Form1</b> to <b>form1</b>
just change the capital F to a lowercase f |

hmmm, I got this working ok in SR4, with the instructions in the zip.
What is the javascript error you are getting?
And you are using SR4 right?
Richard, would it make a difference with the common or capital F? I'm using it with a capital F and don't have any problems.
But Frankie, try Rich's suggestion and see if that fixes it. I will update the zip with the SR4 files in a few minutes.

Richard,
First of all, congratulation (for the Global status). Secondly I already did that thinking the same way that javascript is case sensitive (NO LUCK!).
Davio,
The erro I get is this:
<center><pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><b>A Runtime Error hs occured.
Do you wish ti Debug?
line 370
Error: 'document.form1.Sig' is null or not an object</b></font id=code></pre id=code></center>.
I'm using v3.1 SR4

The zip has been updated with the SR4 files.
Frankie, send me your inc_profile.asp, pop_preview.asp and your pop_profile.asp let me take a wuick look at them.
Mean while I'll see if I can re-create the error you are getting.

| Davio, the only reason I mentioned about the Capital F, is when I added the javascript code to Register.asp so that it would work there also, I got the javascript error, changing the case of the F in the register.asp file fixed it. But I still have it as Capital in the pop_profile.asp file and it works fine. |

Richard, I think that's because the name of the form on the register.asp page is form1. The name of the form for the pop_profile.asp is Form1 with the capital F.
Oh ok, I see what you're talking about. On the register.asp page you will get the javascript error because of the name of the form. And because the OpenPreview() javascript function is missing from the register.asp page.
Is that where you are getting the error Frankie?
If so I will update the files in a few minutes.
Frankie, I got your email, but I got no files attached with it. Send it to admin@dsilvera.com instead will ya? Thanks
