MPDev's Graffiti Wall for vB3.6

[MPDev]

This is a repost of the 3.5 module; works the same with vB3.6.

The Graffiti Wall is a simple script where people can "paint" text onto a brick wall. You can see an example of the vB3 integration on ExtremeFitness.Com (http://www.extremefitness.com/forum/wall.php) and ViperAlley.Com (http://www.viperalley.com/forum/wall.php) (more of a chalk board).

I also use an img src with half sized dimensions to preview the wall on my Summary page which can be seen on ViperAlley.Com (http://www.viperalley.com/index.php); this could also be added to your portal pages for greater exposure.

Features
. Fully integrated with vB3 for styles/users
. Admin/Mods can "wipe board"
. Optional logging of paints to log file

This is a very simple mod to install; there is one self contained .php script, a few fonts and a bricks.jpg file to upload.

Requirements
. Your server must have GD2 support (GD1 support may work, but not tested) for PNG files including TTF support.

This is the updated mod from the 3.0x version located here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=80588&page=1&pp=15).

Be kind and click INSTALL if you use this mod. :)

1.0.1 - 2/3/2006
. Fixed painttext issue in ZIP file

[Gripemaster]

I get this when I try to paint something:


Fatal error: imagecreatefrompng(): gd-png: fatal libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library in /home/*******/public_html/***********.com/forum/wall.php on line 94

[MPDev]

Looks like you have a PHP GD library issue.

I have installed but I have issues....

I get to see the wall, but it has "ViperAlley.com" and "Wall Donated by P. Floyd" and "Packetjunkie was here"..

However, I cannot add any of my own messages. I enter them into the box and click "Paint It" and nothing happens. The Screen refreshes, but nothing shows up.

I have changed my CHMOD to make it so it can be written to..

Also, where was I suppose to install the fonts on my server? I am a relative Newb in this area..

Please help me out!

Thanks!

[ociosos]

i got the same error

i think the font folder should be on the forum folder (blablabla.com/forum/)

:(

Same issue

[MPDev]

Please refer to the Requirements in the first post; if you are getting functions not found or other similiar issues; then your server isn't setup with the required modules to support this mod.

1) You must have GD2 with PNG support; you must have TTF support.
2) You must give the web server write permissions to the png file so it can be overwritten.

If you don't, this mod won't work.

I might be missing something here...but I'm sure I have the correct settings on my server to allow this hack to function however, I get this:

Fatal error: imagecreatefrompng() [<a href='function.imagecreatefrompng'>function.imagecreatefrompng</a>]: gd-png: fatal libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library in /home/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/forums/wall.php on line 99

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

So, I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully someone smarter than me will assist. ;)

Thanks,
Mark

[MoonstaR]

thanks its nice ;)

[carpefile]

Very diggable. My users love it. Works great in 3.63
Is there any way to allow them to choose which one of the available fonts to use?

[Jon.]

Excellent mod, but is there any way of getting it to post images instead of text? I've tried html and BBCode, but neither work.

[MPDev]

Nope, it's for text only.

[Jon.]

Damn. Thanks anyway :)

[skorzguy]

The wall is cool but one can make it cooler. I didn't like the size of the board so I resized vertical instead. I also changed to text to 100 words. I tried going more but it kept timing out. I would have made it longer but I will see how it works at 3000px. Here is what it looks like if one wants to take a look.

[sheva_mp3]

I have some problems with russian symbols at this wall. Some fonts are not displayed correctly.
What modifications should I do :confused:

For example, I have written "Денис Шевченко", but at wall was this

[MPDev]

You would need to use a TTF font that supports your charset.

[sheva_mp3]

There are some problems with log file.

// You can keep a log of text sent to your wall by uncommenting this section
$ip = IPADDRESS;
$fd = fopen("$pathto/efgraffiti.txt","a");
$debugtext = "$string | $ip | ".$bbuserinfo['username']."\n";
fwrite($fd, $debugtext);
fclose($fd);

In log file I see only post and ip, but don't see username:confused:

Log file:
sheva | 82.207.101.50 |

Hello
I also have this problem http://www.jffk.org/forums/wall.php

ERROR:

Can someone help out?

Thanks in advance

[MPDev]

You don't have the required TTF support installed.

[Icemanmx]

You don't have the required TTF support installed.


Thanks
Do you upgrade the apache server to get the TTF support? Or is it other support on the server i need to activate?

Thanks in advance

[MPDev]

TTF is a part of PHP; so you would need to update your PHP installation.

Try changing $bbuserinfo['username'] to $vbulletin->userinfo['username']

[dbirosel]

Please help

[MPDev]

No GD support with your PHP installation.

Folks, please read the requirements.

[PoetJA-1975]

Thanx very much for the share.
I have 1 questions though: Sometimes the texts revert to just a black outline. Anyway to correct this?

ALSO - I made a nice bricks.jpg graphic customized for JPiC Forum
Some may be interested so - here ya go...
It's may be seen on http://JPiCForum.info/wall.php

[mr moose]

how can you tell if you have gd support on your installation/server? im still fairly new to all this so just wondered

[ged]

TTF is a part of PHP; so you would need to update your PHP installation.So, what do I have to tell to my host?

[yoyoyoyo]

is there any way to make this so only members and staff can use it?

[yoyoyoyo]

also - how can I make it so only the admin can wipe the wall?

[rknight111]

Im trying to install but im getting some errors,

It comes on the screen and looks like it works, when you type somthing then run the mouse to the the "paint it" key, in the bottom of my browser it just has wall.php then you click on the "paint it" key and you get a Bad Gateway error. Am I missing somthing.

It says to do this:

line 38: $pathto = "/path/to/your/forum";
Put the server path to your grattifi/forum directory here

I put this
$pathto = "/home/public_html/forum";

Any help would be appreciated
