As admin (ID=1), I would like to be able to see, and perhaps change, the "View Signatures in Posts?" and "Signature checkbox checked by default?" drop-down menus in member's profile. Has this mod been done before?<

Never noticed that it didn't let you. What you need is likely in inc_profile.asp<

Thanks Anon. I guess it would be nice to be available to members as well, in case they change their mind about the options after registration. I guess I'll see what I can do on my own. Hopefully I don't corrupt everything! bigsmile<

Members should be able to change it on their own, its just the Admins that don't seem to be able to change that on someone else's profile.<

In "inc_profile.asp", search for the following line:
Code:

		if strMode <> "goModify" then
Change it to say:
Code:

		if strMode <> "goModify" or intAdminMemberID=MemberID then

You are correct, AnonJr. As admin, when I change the options and submit, they don't stay changed. How involved would it be to change the code to allow this?<

Ok strangest thing, after looking at the code in pop_profile.asp I noticed it was already there but commented out. What?
Code:
if strSignatures = "1" and strDSignatures = "1" then
     strSql = strSql & ", M_VIEW_SIG = " & cLng("0" & Request.Form("ViewSig"))
end if
if strSignatures = "1" then
     strSql = strSql & ", M_SIG_DEFAULT = " & cLng("0" & Request.Form("fSigDefault"))
end if
I uncommented the 6 lines and it works perfectly. Weird!
If anyone wants to add the code and don't already have it, insert the above 6 lines after this:

Code:
if strSignatures = "1" then
     strSql = strSql & ", M_SIG = '" & chkString(Request.Form("Sig"),"message") & "'"
end if
And before this:

Code:
strSql = strSql & ", M_LEVEL = " & cLng("0" & Request.Form("Level"))
Toward the end of case "ModifyIt" around line 1480 of an unmodified pop_profile.asp.
P.S. If anyone knows why it would have been commented out of the original, I would appreciate knowing why.

it was probably commented out because the code was simply copied from the previous section, and it was deemed inappropriate for an admin to be able to set these values so they were commented out.
Why should it be the admins choice as to whether or not I can view signatures ?<

Hmmm mine is commented too. Anyway, what are you trying to do. I don't really get it.<
