ForumSig 1.0

[kg4mxz]

Outputs a PNG image you can use as a forum signature with live forum statistics.

This was only tested with vB 3.6.1 There might be something similar to this already but I could not get a version that I could get to work so I made my own.

Install Time: <30 seconds

Installation:
Change $forumname to the name of your forum as you want it displayed in the image.
Upload sig.php and base.png to your forum root
Do any modifications to base.png you want (Optional)
Your signature is ready to use!A sample implementation in HTML:
<IMG SRC="http://yourdomain.com/path/to/forum/sig.php">

[kg4mxz]

This isn't meant to be a finished product! I know it needs design work :)

Please install this mod if you use it

[aycan555]

thanks...

When i look my site stats at homepage it says 37 Guest and 8 registered users..
When i looked into Who is online page, all guests viewing:

Unknown Location
/sig.php

:D:D:D

[bada_bing]

Where and why would you want to use this?

[Jealousy10312]

I have the same question.

[Josh1]

With a bit of work on the design side, i guess you could use it here. :p

[kg4mxz]

It's meant to be used as a forum signature.

[bada_bing]

Sorry I still dont get it??

[Comalies]

Works nice.

[aceofspades]

What is not to understand, its hardly complicated. You have your stats displayed on a png so you can display them on other forums. Thanks buddy, i tried to get the other version to work but it didnt.

[asj]

Thanks

[Snake]

Very nice. Thanks!

[kg4mxz]

Your Welcome! w00t! First Mod!

[iran.gs]

Installed this is the best updated news for admins to use as Sig... Highly recomended to all forum admins and muds

[iran.gs]

only one Q can i add flash to it ?

[kg4mxz]

No, you cannot

[Phooey]

Is there any way to make the text size a bit larger?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. You can see my modded version in my sig. :D

/installed

[ragtek]

1. make a jpg file
not all forums allow *.php in a sig

2. the design is terrible
also my english

[aceofspades]

1. You noob you use the png as your sig image.
2. He is a coder not a designer, and this is his first script. You think you could do better, make your own image and use it, thats what everyone else doing :rolleyes:

[hilfe-forum]

i change color her:

//Defines Colors
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 78, 153, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

but the PNG always show the old color???

please tell me the way to change text size

[LICryptkeeper]

1. You noob you use the png as your sig image.


he means that not all forums allow .php in image tags. I agree with ragtek that it should be cached into an image, and run as a cronjob, since it has the possibility of being a little sever-intensive.

it's how mine is running:

http://network.montrealforums.com/links/invite.php
outputs
http://network.montrealforums.com/links/invite2.jpg

the php is run every 15 minutes, and therefore the JPG gets updated every 15 minutes.

That's very cool. I can already tell mine is taking a hit with the sig.

[Phooey]

please tell me the way to change text size
Find this code in the sig.php file, the numbers I bolded are what you change to make the text larger:

// Adds Text
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, $forumname . " Statistics", $text_color);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 15, "Threads: " . $totalthreads, $text_color);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 25, "Posts: " . $totalposts, $text_color);
imagestring($im, 1, 105, 15, "Users: " . $totalusers, $text_color);

[Kanustep]

Great hack! How do we add more variables, for example:
- Last thread
- Users online: this could be a mess!
- Active members
- Last member registration

can you tell me how I would set this cron job up - to update every 15 mins and output a jpg?

[ragtek]

oh sorry that i just said the truth
1.not in all forums is php allow
2. its better for the performance when you cache it every 30 minutes

and if you think that i'm a noob its ok for me

[Qwest]

Hey guys.

For those of you complaining about forums not accepting sig.php as an image. Simply add this code to a .htaccess file and place it in the same directory as base.png and sig.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^base.png$ sig.php

Then just link to base.png and Apache will automatically use sig.php

[Ricsca]

Very Thanks ;)

[aveon]

if you can design something like this for the side column wold be lot nicer than sig thanx

[ConqSoft]

if you can design something like this for the side column wold be lot nicer than sig thanx

This is for you to use on OTHER forum sites you visit, not for display on your own forum.

Nice tip, but not something you can do to get it to show on vbulletin.com for instance ;)

[Fax]

does this mod work on windows os ?

[optrex]

Don't see why not - its just php.

[Qwest]

Nice tip, but not something you can do to get it to show on vbulletin.com for instance ;)
Well vbulletin.com doesn't allow ANY images in sigs does it?

I think you misread the point of my tip.

My tip makes it so you can use <img src=http://mysite.com/base.png>

instead of using <img src=http://mysite.com/sig.php>

because a lot of boards are set up to not allow dynamic images (images that end in anything other than .gif or .jpg or .png)

[Fax]

i'm using vbulletin 3.6.0 on a windows 2003 dedicated server (i know this is for 3.6.1 but some users have this working on 3.6.0) and cannot get this to work.

error output:-
query_first("SELECT COUNT(threadid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbthread"); $totalthreads = implode(",",$totalthreads); $totalposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX .

i use table prefix of vb so i changed this in the sig.php, i have tried with the standard settings but this didn't work either.

any ideas ?

[Mrflow]

it is possible to be put Profile Fields of vbulletin like country, posts or another extra thing?

[DavutPasha]

I added some extra lines. You can see my signature.

* Server Load

Thank you

[Jaxx]

*edited*

Figured it out.

Thanks for the mod.

[Riku Yuizaki]

Nice mod, I made one like this as well, its awesome, you can display pretty much anything you want on it, you can do stuff like this even:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
not one query used anywhere in it!

[Shouzen]

How do i make it work like that?
how do i make a .htaccess file?

[Tuga??]

http://cracktugateam.com/forum/sig.php

work fine now;)

[zompus]

Wont work for me, prolly because i got vbseo installed... doubleyellowcard.com/sig.php

[zompus]

anyone got any suggestions on what i can do?

[zompus]

hmmm?

[kg4mxz]

Sorry, don't have vBSEO so I have no idea (I am accepting donations :D )

[ashley53680]

Worked perfectly! I just quickly did a base and uploaded things. Took less then 3 minutes from start to finish. :)

[sduckie2k5]

Works great, thanks!

[TRR]

can you tell me how I would set this cron job up - to update every 15 mins and output a jpg?

Same here

[MaestroX]

I've installed this fine hack but my only concern is that when I view "who's online" there seems to be an awfull lot of people (and spiders) on the actual php page of the image. Its strange cause my .htaccess rewrites them to a .png file. Should I be worried?

I will try to add to it ArabicGD

[Xoxideforums]

I understand how to change the font size. But how the heck do you change font style like this person did?

And I'm also interested in setting up a cron so I can use an image that gets updated.

This don't work with VBSeo!

Check: http://doubleyellowcard.com/sig.php - blank.

Woah, completely forgot about this...

To use different style fonts, refer to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php

Can you share some of the code, I like the members online bit

Cheers

[SLY LS1]

Ok heres how to add some others for those who dont know how

Members Online:

//Members Online//
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout'];
$guestsarry = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(host) AS sessions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid = 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut");
$membersarry = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT DISTINCT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid <> 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut");
$guests = intval($guestsarry['sessions']);
$members = intval($vbulletin->db->num_rows($membersarry));
$online = $guests + $members;

And add this to get it to show:

imagestring($im, 2, 100, 30, "Members Online: " . $online, $text_color);

and another

Newest User:

//newest User//
$newuser = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT username AS newuser FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ORDER BY userid DESC LIMIT 1");
$newuser = $newuser['newuser'];

And add this to get it to show:

imagestring($im, 2, 230, 30, "Newest Members: " . $newuser, $text_color);

Hey guys.

For those of you complaining about forums not accepting sig.php as an image. Simply add this code to a .htaccess file and place it in the same directory as base.png and sig.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^base.png$ sig.php

Then just link to base.png and Apache will automatically use sig.php

I tried this but when linking to the .png that is all I get, ie. not linking to the php. Any ideas or suggestions?
