Suggestion: Move Edit Signature Form

    As of now, the edit Forum Signature textarea appears as the second field in the profile field group on the Edit Profile page for BuddyPress. I don’t know how others feel, but this feels like an odd place the field. As the second field, it interrupts the flow of my other custom profile fields. I’d much rather see it at the bottom of the custom fields I’ve defined.

    How do others feel about this? If everyone likes the placement as is (second field in the field group), then it should be left alone.

    However, if others agree with me that it would be better to put the edit Forum Signature field as the last field in the profile field group, then I’d recommend changing the position in the next release. In my view, this is a very simply way to improve a great plugin!

    This can be accomplished by switching the action hook from “bp_custom_profile_edit_fields” to “bp_after_profile_field_content” on lines 32 and 68 of /code/mods/signature.php.

    I made this modification on my own installation of the plugin and it seems to work great!

    Thanks for the great plugin!

    Ok, so my fix doesn’t work completely since the “View Profile” page also has that action hook. This causes the edit Forum Signature field to appear when viewing people’s pages.

    My suggestion for moving the field still stands, I’m just not sure how to accomplish it anymore.

    Thanks!

    I agree! I can’t use it because of this, unfortunately.

    Hey Wesley, what do you mean it appears when viewing peoples pages?

    Thanks.

    Plugin allows you to select BuddyPress profile settings group where to add signature field.

    Where is this setting? I don’t see it…

    Go to plugins, click settings for this plugin, right column 2nd category from the bottom says: User Signature: BuddyPress Profile Field Group . Choose which field group you want it displayed.

    Yeah I understand I can select which group to place the forum sig in, I was wondering how to change the order of the field but I think I found a solution.
    Thanks.
