Signature Plugin

This plugin supports a simple tag which appears as a button with the label given by the SIGNATURELABEL setting. When clicked, it is replaced by the text given in the SIGNATUREFORMAT setting (this is typically the name of the logged in user and the current date).

Syntax Rules

Insert the tag %SIGNATURE% anywhere in the topic, as many times as you like. Each such tag will create a signature button.

The following parameters are supported for the %SIGNATURE% tag.

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, i.e. %SIGNATUREPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%
