XF 2.2 How to only show one line of signature behind a "click to expand" button for multi-line signatures?

[MaximilianKohler]

I thought this was a default but on my forum it's showing the whole signature expanded and I don't see an option to change that.

Are you using the default style, or a third party one? If third party, post in that styles discussion are for assistance.

I tried the CSS codes (added to extra.less) in these threads
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/scrollable-signatures.8945/
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/limit-the-signature-display-area.204395/

and none of them seemed to do anything.

Once more... there can be differences between the default styles an how "custom" styles (3rd party) handle certain scenarios.
Of course, at times the !important CSS/LESS designator can be beneficial... as it over-rides some defaults set by the style.

I'm using a child of the default style.

I'm using a child of the default style.

Then you aren't using the default style.... you are using a style you have added (most likely) customizations to. Default style means exactly that.. the default style with NO modifications used.
Try it on the actual default style by entering it in the extra.less template and see if it works. If it does.. then YOUR custom child style has something that changes it.

Ah, I checked my server error logs and another code I had added recently was causing changes to not save.

Well none of the ones in https://xenforo.com/community/threads/scrollable-signatures.8945/ work. But this https://xenforo.com/community/threads/limit-the-signature-display-area.204395/post-1629900 does make them scrollable, but it's not obvious that it's scrollable. So a "click to expand" option would be much better.

I added these lines to hopefully make it more obvious but it didn't do anything:

overflow-y: auto !important;
overflow-x: hidden !important;

I found these two threads but neither has the answer as far as I can tell:

XF 2.0 - How do you remove the, "Click to expand" for quotes so the entire quote shows in a post?

Thank you.

XF 2.2 - Can "Click to Expand" be Used Elsewhere?

Just wondering if it were possible to use either the javascript that functionalizes "Click to Expand" or otherwise use it in another template. I have a widget I'd like to apply the ability to. At the moment I'm going to just use some javascript I picked up elsewhere. But it would be nice to keep...

Sometimes CSS/LESS edits simply do not meet the needs.. and you have to have an add-on (or at least template edits)... and sometimes those may be bespoke add-ons that cost a significant amount if you want them only for your site.
