Currently the module allows to show signatures in either both a node type and its comments or not show signatures at all. It would be good to separate the node and comment options so that you can enable signatures for comments but not for the node content itself, or vice versa.

My use case is that I would like to have signatures in a node's comments but not in the actual node itself -- for example, a news article would look inappropriate with the author's signature appended to it, but it would be perfectly fine for comments on that news article.

Comments

I second this request. Would like to use signatures in comments, but not on most node types themselves. Am using the 6.x branch.

This request is the exact reason I came to the issues section today! I third this request and suggest 6.x compatibility as well!

Me too. ... using 6.x

I agree. Using 5.x here. At the moment, I can only use this module for Forum because the first post in a forum thread, it's ok to have a signature. To have a signature on a blog post looks awful, but not in the comments that follow.

CSS workaround...

I can't guarantee this code will work for you but the same principle should work (and there's probably a tidier way to do it in my own install also).

The idea is to hide the signature using css display:none to hide signatures in nodes but not in comments. In my own case, that involved hiding them everywhere, then overriding to display them again in the comments (at least, so far, that seems to be necessary)

#content .signature {
display: none;
}

#forum-comments .signature {
display: inline;
}

Result for me is signatures don't show in nodes but do in comments. (I'm using Advanced Forum and that probably affects what css selectors are available)

I want an options to choose which nodes I want signatures shown with options for the comments. For example with forum posts (I am using advanced forum) I want the signature to show in both comments and nodes, but with everything else I just want it shown in the comments. I think the best UI way to do this would be have a table with the content types on the left and then two columns. One for display in node and one for display in comments.

might I suggest this feature as being the number 1 priority for the 7.x version?

Version: 5.x-2.4 » 6.x-1.x-dev

might I suggest this feature as being the number 1 priority for the 7.x version?

I basically need to get a decent user interface for this, and #570322: "Attach signature" checkbox displaying and signatures not displaying worked out. It's certainly the next thing I'll be working on for this module.

How about something like this...similar to what CountessAlice suggested.
