Ok I installed this but I do not understand how this works?

[4x4 Mecca]

Once installed how to we activate it or check the settings?

[Coders Shack]

Once installed how to we activate it or check the settings?
there are no vbsettings right now its as is. You can modify the signature.php but this was re-released because mr chad had a few PMs and he said i could re-release it. But if theres enough interest in it i could see what i could do with it.

sig.jpg is the template image
signature.jpg is the result image

its in a 10 min scheduled task.

[4x4 Mecca]

So we just upload signature.jpg as our sig pic then, and that's it?

[4x4 Mecca]

Ok, did it, thanks! It works, just use signature.jpg as your sig image.

[FreshFroot]

nice stuff, I'll try it out!

[Kaleem]

thanks i just set it up like that still needs some alignment i guess

omg... was sooooo waiting for this..
THANK YOU!!

does it matter how you add the sig? I just img linked it in.

upload (and 777 cmod), installed product, linked it in...
did I miss something?

[Kihon Kata]

I did mine:

[Hornstar]

I would like to get a picture like those examples created, but then show it on other sites in my sig area. do you just link to the image, or something else?

[evotion]

How easy would it be to import other VB information in to the graphic, such as Username and/or even better, a custom field ?

[DiSpy]

How easy would it be to import other VB information in to the graphic, such as Username and/or even better, a custom field ?

That would be neat, but would create more queries that need to load on each page that contains your signature. I'd stay away from it unless your forums are really fast. Now if someone could figure out a way to do it without adding queries...

Just my $0.02 cents.

[Distance]

It does not save the image as the same quality..

[Coders Shack]

what image are you trying to use?

I think you can reduce the compression take a look at the signature.php

ok cool got it working for the default included image...but now how did people make custom ones so that the font/size/color of the stats changed and fit where you wanted it to? .... assuming we want to make a signature jpg image of a different size (larger)

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

boo!! can't get the custome one to work even at same dimensions as default...
is there a trick to it? :p

inquiring minds... :D any input would be much appreciated.

I have a running 3.6.7 PL1 and get a SQL-Query error on cronscript signature.php:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT (host) AS sessions FROM vb3_session WHERE userid = 0 AND lastactivity > 1179767122;


How to fix that?

not sure yet but just don't use the online count in the signature.php

[1337_macro]

Will there be any updates to this cause I love it so far

[neopet001]

Don't work with me, 3.6.5 :|

[cooldude714]

http://www.thebigcommunity.co.uk/signature.jpg


Edit: Now it does work... strange. Could it be possible that you put things on there that people will actually care about?

Such as, forum username, your amount of posts, your amount of threads? Instead of the whole forum's amount of posts and threads etc.

[SLY LS1]

Hmm, 1 minute it works next it doesnt

[neopet001]

It works. Installed . Thank you very much!

[YabbaDabba]

vB 3.6.5 - 3.6.7

works just fine.

You have to tweak the php file to locate and format the numbers to match your design.

HOWEVER...
the method used to calculate forums stats is NOT THE SAME as the method used on index.php. So your numbers may vary, as they say.

REQUESTS:
1 - Any chance that you can officially support the vB stat method so there's not a discrepency?

2 - Any chance you can support multiple graphic targets from a single plug-in? As it is, I have to duplicate/tweak the sisStats plug-in for each new one I want to create.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

anyone know how to change the color /style of the text?

[YabbaDabba]

Uninstalling. Too much hassle because the numbers don't match forum home.

How many queries does this add?

[Coders Shack]

How many queries does this add?
every 5 mins it will run 4 queries.

[Hornstar]

every 5 mins it will run 4 queries.

Is that bad? Could that be reduced?

[Ciderhelm]

4 queries every 5 minutes isn't bad at all.

thanks a lot!

Does anyone know then? I wanna have a bigger picture, but i need to change some settings. :)

Thanks

[Baza]

Hmmmmm, well? Anybody?

[lowfd]

the mod is working fine, but amount of posts and threads are both showing higher figures than the forum home stats

[Apostolos-Pap]

seems like there is a issue with the compression? I'm not sure what's exactly wrong. I have two of the same images.. sig and signature.

u need to follow instructions... place the signature.jpg in the forums folder and CHMOD it 777

[yoyoyoyo]

works as advertised - thanks

[0tolerance]

hey is this compatible with 3.6.8? and if so where does the options show up to edit things?
i cannot find them at all.

[FreshFroot]

works fine for me in 3.6.8 ;)

PS: you need to edit the file 0tolerance..

[yoyoyoyo]

I figured out how to move the text around, and increase the size, etc., but can we change the default font that it uses to display the stats? how can we get the stats to all appear on the same line as some have done (like the beasttoast one?? how about the "X users currently online"?

[FreshFroot]

You mean how do you ADD the the who's online area on it like mines?

http://www.gamerz-place.net/forums/signature.jpg

If so, the who's online area and some others are commented out, so you have to uncomment them and add the variable in the output code.

As for the font, I haven't tried, but I think it will need to be modified in the file too.

[yoyoyoyo]

thanks - I didn't notice those there. I have looked in the php file and the only font variable I can find is the size. thanks again

[bezibaerchen]

Seems to work on 3.6.8, but countings differ from the ones on vb. Any hint on how to correct that?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[powerbook]

Don't know if this is what you talking about but if you have hidden/moderation or related forums that normal members can't see it is also going to be counted as posts/threads..

http://www.mobil-talk.de/signature.jpg

[bezibaerchen]

Ah, that may be the hint. Is there a possibility to "fix" that or rather to substract that?

[Coders Shack]

i love how this mod has such a shitty rating

First off to customize this you will need to be a coder... Else all you can do is mess with the background image (sig.jpg)

Its because you 3.5.X + users have been spoiled with plugins lol.

About 80% of you guys haven't actually edited any php files, but before 3.5 every mod required actual core file edits.

if you follow the steps it will work, also if you understand php and know how to use php.net you probably can make a kick ass sigStats image.

by the way FreshFroot nice image :D

[dartho]

piece of cake - works a treat!

[mri_mohammad]

first blank page and after not working :(

[Coders Shack]

it should work, your probably missing something... I cant help some one if they give me no information. Turn php errors on and please respond with the error.

Does this work for 3.7.4?

[bezibaerchen]

I'm not quite sure. Got it on 3.7.4 but e.g. member stats differ round about 1000....

[dmknights]

tried it on 3.7.4, does not work

[bezibaerchen]

Sig is generated, but is faulty....

Any hints?
