So, for the past couple of weeks I've been writing up my first MyBB plugin. It's just a basic plugin for showing a signature of the month, with the ability to show the image and the users image/signature. The avatar I've shown in the screenshots is what I use online, but you can have any image you like. This is fully compatible with MyBB 1.6. I haven't tested it on MyBB 1.4, but should work OK.

It has it's own page, but you can switch this on and off via the ACP. If it's off, it will show a no permissions page to users. I also wish to style up the table a little, so I won't be releasing it yet. By default, it adds {$sotm} to the bottom of the index template. You can move this anywhere you like.

I am currently working on my next plugin, a welcome panel similar to phpBB's MOD here: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ ... n_index_2/
 
Nice plugin. Is it easy to modify? Like, could I turn it into a member of the month plugin?
 
Sure. Instead of showing the signature image, you could change it to the members name, or avatar, if you wish.

Regards.
 
Not yet. I am currently cleaning up and editing the code a little before putting it up for download.
 
This is cool! Can't wait to play with it. I like the idea of modifying it for a member of the month as well.
 
Very nice!
Will be very useful for various forums. 🙂
Keep it up. 😉
 
Wow , this brings back old memories from zetaboards, but no doubt if I was running a forum right now , I would use it. I really think it would look better if it was above the forums as to where the competition winner will be seen by everybody instead of having his or hers wok at the bottom.

You could add {$sotm} to the header if you wanted to.
