Signatures?

I was just wondering if there's any way to add a signature to my story postings? The signature set in the Account Information only works for comments. What can I do?

In my lib-common.php, I added this to my Story Functions section:
$author_sig = '';
$author_iud = $A['uid'];
if ( $author_iud > 1) {
$author_sig = DB_getItem($_TABLES['users'],'sig', "uid = '$author_iud'");
}
if (!empty ($author_sig)) {
$article->set_var( 'author_sig', $author_sig );
}
Which needs to be anywhere before:
And then in my layout files I used {author_sig} to see if it would parse out.
I just now edited my post because I said it didn't work, but when I went to remove {author_sig}, I accidentally typed in {author_tag}, so I gave it another try and it worked.

Okay go to antisource.com/lib-common.txt - and search for "Get signature" and see where I have it. Btw, I'm running 1.3.9 so hopefully an older or newer version won't conflict with this hack...

No you can't use my lib-common.php, it's set for my host plus I have custom code in there, and it might not be compatible with your version of geeklog. Just look at the text file so you can see where my code example is at - search for "Get signature", and that block of code is what you need. It needs to be pasted somewhere into your Story Functions section (also search for that term), but before the last line of the section.

Now I'm getting this error:
Warning: main(/path/to/geeklog/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ethanme/public_html/main/lib-common.php on line 70
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ethanme/public_html/main/lib-common.php on line 70
And I even tried removing the new code, but it didn't help. I should just learn to leave things alone. Any idea how to fix this?

the error here is obvious..
notice the path quoted in the error: "path/to/geeklog/config.php"
clearly you have not set the proper path in lib-common.php for your config file, or you have changed it unwittingly. that path must point to the actual path to your config.php file.
hope that helps

Going forward, I would suggest backing up a copy of the file you are changing in case something goes wrong - just the other day I did the exact same thing to my config file - closed my ftp program before it finished uploading the changed file so then my site had a truncated config file which killed it. Without my backup I would have been in big trouble. 
Like machinari said, you just need to correct the path in the lib-common.php. It's going to be the path to your site on the server, usually what it looks like when in ftp. So for you it might be "home/buymypie/public_html/config.php" (just an example!).
