#34 Signature Text Customization

[Roberto "Clouderfix" Donnini]

Is it possibile to customize Signature Text? The default is too much long i would like to display just date (without hour) and name in certificate.

Regards

There is a "Signature text" field in the Visible signature settings - use it to put your own text into the signature. (Uncheck the "Default" checkbox first).
If you use command line version then this argument does it:
--l2-text "<your text>"

Roberto replies:
Sorry to disturb you, but you don't understand what i mean,
i know i can put free text. I would like to know if is
possibile use embedded fields.
For example i want to see write: signed 17-01-12 by <name in
certificate>.
I just noticed that is possible put static content.

[Josef Cacek]

Roberto, you're right. Only the static content is possible. But if you use the command line, the static content may also mean a very variable text. :) (E.g. use a system tool A to retrieve the current date, use a system tool B to retrieve a name from the certificate, then put it together into the --l2-text argument).
Or reimplement SignerLogic class so it fits your needs.
