Signature Stats v3.04

[joergh]

I have one suggestion fpr the hack:

In signature.php you say

// Replace "verdana.ttf" with the URL to your .ttf font

In my case not the URL (http://www.sdfsdgs...) works but only the full server path you already needed in the script above.

Please change your installation/scrip comment line to "with the FULL SERVER PATH to your .ttf font.
Maybe this will help to avoid some errors during install. :)

[Mr. Brian]

I noticed that this script only works for me by using

http://xxx.com/xxx.php

But not for

http://xxx.com.xxx.jpg

Any clue?

Thanks.

[oldfan]

It may be, could you send me a screenshot of the table your stats are being read from?


I sent that out to ya, thanks

[Mr. Brian]

I noticed that this script only works for me by using

http://xxx.com/xxx.php

But not for

http://xxx.com.xxx.jpg

Any clue?

Thanks.

Any clue?

[DWard]

have you told your script where to save the image it generates to?
have you entered the correct url to the saved image?
is the image your saving to chmod to 777?

[PixelFx]

works in 3.0.3 .. just had to make my jpgs 777 and upload font to a directory and add path /user/public_html/fonts/font.ext to signature.php and it worked :P

[Pinkie]

Nice one
Will try it :squareeyed:

[Mickie D]

brilliant - thanks very much :)

took a while to get to work and found that if you replace

imagecreate

with

imagecreatetruecolor

you might find your images show up correctly

the only reason i can see for the use of imagecreate is older versions of GD

maybe you could point this out in your text as it would i am sure help a few others ;)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/anhtuanc/public_html/forum/signature.php on line 208

What's its problem now? Anyone? :ermm:

[DWard]

imagecreatefromjpeg() is showing as an undefined function, which usually means the function is disabled in your php settings. If you find your phpinfo link in your admin cp, near the bottom on the left and it should mention imagecreatefromjpeg() in that huge page and tell you if its disabled or not.

[AnhTuanCool]

I can't see it(something about that function in phpinfo()) but how can I solve it? I don't have GD either :ermm:

[DWard]

Ah... You NEED GD.

[mholtum]

:devious: I can not get this to work at all. I know my image paths are correct as I have checked with my host. I am thinking "hmmmm" wtf is wrong? All I get when testing is a red "X".

[mholtum]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ Hmm works, but I have some issues.

[DWard]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ Hmm works, but I have some issues. OK, open your signature.php file and do the following:

Find:
imagecreate(
Replace with:
imagecreatetruecolor(

[mholtum]

Sweet! Thank you! Now I just have to create a couple images and I am all set! I appreciate the help.

[DWard]

SIGNATURE STATS 3.01 RELEASED

Switching between imagecreate and imagecreatetruecolor much easier, just change a variable.

Set the font you want to use at the top of the signature.php file away from all that rotten code!

Easy selection of Standard or TrueType fonts in output.

[mholtum]

I was looking to change the font but this was the only code I could find..

// ########################## TEXT FORMATTING ############################

// A PNG uses ImageColorAllocate instead of ImageColorClosest like jpeg uses

//background white
$bg_color = imagecolorallocate ($img, 255, 255, 255);

//black text
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($img, 19, 36, 161);

imagefilledrectangle ($img, 0, 0, $width, $height, $bg_color);

// ######################### DO NOT EDIT BELOW ############################

[DWard]

search from the top down for $ttff

[mholtum]

// ######################### CHANGE FONT BELOW ############################
// Uncomment LINE1+LINE12 and comment LINE2+LINE22 to use default font.
// Replace "verdana.ttf" with the URL to your .ttf font
//
imagestring($img, $fontsize, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $output, $text_color); // LINE1
//imagettftext($img, $fontsize, 0, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $text_color, "verdana.ttf", $output); // LINE2
$i++;
}

header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($img);
imagejpeg($img, "$ausgabedatei",$komprimierung); //Write jpg to folder and set compression
imagedestroy($img); // get the image out of memory

will I need to upload a font to my server or just change the name of the font.

I did what i had to do and it does

I'm just uploading a new signature.php file, try that one.

[MissKalunji]

i Still get the same error

http://www.dancehallareaz.com/forum/signature.php

:disappointed: What am i doing wrong???

[MissKalunji]

Think im just gon keep the one before the update....

[Natch]

One note: you will need to change this if ($ttfe == "1")
{
imagettftext($img, $fontsize, 0, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $text_color, $ttff, $output);
} else if {
imagestring($img, $fontsize, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $output, $text_color);
$i++;
}
to match if ($ttfe == "1")
{
imagettftext($img, $fontsize, 0, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $text_color, $ttff, $output);
} else if {
imagestring($img, $fontsize, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $output, $text_color);
}
$i++;This is for those who are using the format $output[] to render multiple lines of data...

[xug]

please fix

[mholtum]

Looking to change the text color.. How would I do that?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[DWard]

I have made the changes, just need some feedback.

[DWard]

Looking to change the text color.. How would I do that?
http://www.ravensrealm.net/forum/signature.php
Look near the bottom of the signature.php file and theres a section for it.

[mholtum]

I can see this:

// ######################### CHANGE FONT BELOW ############################
// Uncomment LINE1+LINE12 and comment LINE2+LINE22 to use default font.
// Replace "verdana.ttf" with the URL to your .ttf font
//
imagestring($img, $fontsize, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $output, $text_color); // LINE1
// imagettftext($img, $fontsize, 0, $left, (($i * $zeilenabstand) - $zeilenabstand + $top), $text_color, "verdana.ttf", $output); // LINE2
$i++;
}

header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($img);
imagejpeg($img, "$ausgabedatei",$komprimierung); //Write jpg to folder and set compression
imagedestroy($img); // get the image out of memory
?>


But what would I change?

[DWard]

Look above that somewhere is the colour part, its set out in RGB, like 255,255,255

[mholtum]

// ########################## TEXT FORMATTING ############################

// A PNG uses ImageColorAllocate instead of ImageColorClosest like jpeg uses

//background white
$bg_color = imagecolorallocate ($img, 255, 255, 255);

//black text
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($img, 19, 36, 161);

imagefilledrectangle ($img, 0, 0, $width, $height, $bg_color);

[mholtum]

Great thanks
found it

[DWard]

Sorry all, just checked the signature.php and using it myself. There were a few problems but they have now been sorted :)

The new files is attached in the first post.

[oldfan]

whats new in the new version?

[DWard]

Its basically alot easier for people with either GD1 or GD2, and means people dont have to uncomment lines etc

[Martin64]

Great stuff, thanks a lot! :)

Here's what ours look like:

What am I doing wrong here .. must be something I've screwed up in the signature.php path to images .. both images are chmod 777

//full path to empty signature image (input image)
$vorlagedatei = "/usr/home/thetechg/public_html/
/retreat/sig/sig.jpg";

//full path to signare image with forum data (output image)
$ausgabedatei = "/usr/home/thetechg/public_html/retreat/sig/signature.jpg";

[venomx]

chmod the folder too?

[DWard]

nop, just the files

[MissKalunji]

nop, just the files


Great it works
How do i make each thigns (post,threads) on a diff line?
Like dis -> threads
Post
etc..??

and what to add for the game section?

THank u

[DWard]

If you are using a truetype font, i believe you can just type /n in your $output string to make new lines.

Look on the first post for a link on how to do the games part.

[venomx]

I thought it didnt work for me but I messed with the margins and text size and it works! :)

[TTG]

chmod the folder too?


Yep .. done that

[venomx]

The default margins and text size are not right for the images he supplied. Play around with them.


//Left text-margin
$left = 10;

//text-margin from top
$top = 60;

//Font Size
$fontsize = 2;

Seems to work for me.

[DWard]

Yer you will need to have a play to get it right.

[mlevenson]

Minor glitches but was able to resolve been wanting this for a while, thanks...clicks install.

However was never able to get single line output using /n/r or $output on seperate line.

[MissKalunji]

If you are using a truetype font, i believe you can just type /n in your $output string to make new lines.

Look on the first post for a link on how to do the games part.


Great thanks works

One last thing? how do you make it so when ppl click on it it goes to the site??

* MissKalunji click install *


http://www.dancehallareaz.com/forum/signature.php

[DWard]

Just put a hyperlink around the image by either bbcode, or HTML...most sites only allow bbcode in their signatures.

Thx i thought it was something to add in the php files
:nervous:

[DWard]

nope

[gfxhavenowner]

Whenever I try to use ttf, the image shows up, but the text doesn't. How do I fix this, and how can I tell if imagettftext is enabled with my host?

[DWard]

if imagettftext() is disabled, your browser will give you an error saying the function cannot be found.

Are you sure you have uploaded the font and have entered the font location correctly in your signature.php file?

[TTG]

Gave up on this one https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2004/09/1.gif

[Natch]

Lazy...

[turbidblue]

awesome! finally after working my ass off trying to figure this all out, i came up with one...i left off the online info and new user and all that, cause i dont need it

here it is!

http://turbidblue.com/forum/signature.php


whew!

this is such an amazing little thing! thanks to all those who helped in this thread, all your support was very appreciated!

xoxo

* turbidblue clicks install finally!


I do have one question though. Is there a way to make up more of these, with different images? I would like for my mod's to have them as sigs also on different forums..I was thinking maybe, I could just name another one signature1.php ??

Or am I wanting too much?

EDIT: It does indeed work, which is even more awesome! Now none of my members have to have the same one :)

[DWard]

What you could effectively do is put it all on the same script, however it would get complicated and it means I have to find another way.

It would probably be better to do another signature1.php file as you suggested. I will however look into it when I get a bit of time and see if it's feasible or not :)

[Natch]

This would be an excellent extension, to enable it to save the image by default, but also save a signature for all users in a usergroup or in an array of usergroups to a set location - this would be excellent :)

[DWard]

It's easy anough, I'm sure. I will take a look at some stage.

[cteselle]

Great hack! Thanks!

Not a chance unless you let people into your site via FTP...

Double check all the loactions you have entered and make sure all the images are in the correct location.

Also, make sure the images are chmod to 777

[traderx]

ok.... I can get the stats with all the words working, but the actual picture that I am using isn't showing up. If I go to www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php I don't get any errors. I have double checked and both pictures are chmod to 777

[DWard]

OK, try changing

$sgdver = 1;

to

$sgdver = 0;

[traderx]

ok... I have done that but nothing happened. Could you please take a look at my code and let me know if I have missed/done something wrong. I have checked with my host and I am running gd 2.01. (though below I still have it set to '0' in the script.

Thank you

[DWard]

You need to actually put a pic on your sig.jpg file! You have probably got confused between the two... the sig.jpg file needs to be the one with the background image.

[traderx]

ok one step closer.... I get the right picture to load, but it looses it real color which should be like the attachment

[DWard]

hehe, now u need to change

$sgdver = 0;

to

$sgdver = 1;

[traderx]

YES.... that did it... THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to help me get this right. I will just have to play around to get the stats where I want them to be.... any hints? I will in the end use a font, so I should get that uploaded first I would think.

Once again ty so much
Coll

[DWard]

Not realy, you just have to play around until u get the right look :)

[traderx]

ok will do... what are the steps to have this as a cron job? Oh... is there a way that I can have this displayed in a normal email?

For using a font I show the full path just like the sig.jpg?

[venomx]

What you need it as a cron for? It auto updates when the image sis loaded...

[traderx]

What you need it as a cron for? It auto updates when the image sis loaded...

In the txt install file it states

NOTE: This does add a guest to your online users section as somebody views the signature, so the best thing to do, is add a cron task (not sure how) to call the script every 15 minutes or so, then use this bbcode:
http://www.yourdomain.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

Plus I would also like to use in my emails as a jpg file.... if this is what happens. (that from the cron it 'makes' a jpg file)

[venomx]

hmmm I do remember that now... A cron shouldnt be hard to write for it...

[traderx]

Could someone help me out with exactly I need to do, I have never done one before and I wouldn't know what to tell it.

Just so I understand the purpose of it.... a cron with create a jpg of my sig every 15 minutes (or what ever amount I tell it) and place it in a folder that it is told.....

I would think that doing this would be much better then having the php script create it at every time (server load?)

So any direction will help, or post what ones you use.

I would like it to be used with my CPanel (if that matters)

Thanks in advance
Coll

[venomx]

Cant guarantee this will work but try..
/usr/bin/php /home/USERNAME/public_html/forum/signature.php
or if that doesnt work try
/usr/bin/lynx --dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

Just call either one if it works every 15 minutes... then use http://www.4xtraders.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

[traderx]

/usr/bin/php /home/USERNAME/public_html/forum/signature.php

Just call either one if it works every 15 minutes... then use http://www.4xtraders.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

Ok... now won't I have to create WHERE I want the picture to go to... or it just knows 'where' to put it from the signature.php script itself?

I was thinking I had to create a php just to tell it to create the pic and put it somewhere and rewrite what was there before.

[venomx]

Shouldnt.. and I think youll need to link to signature.png

[traderx]

Shouldnt.. and I think youll need to link to signature.png

OK... this is what I have added to my CPanel cron job from the Advanced (Unix Style) options

15 * * * * lynx > /dev/null -dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

I have one for my phpAdsNew that looks all the same (minus location) but I have no clue what the hell the 15 * * * * lynx > does but will see.....

anyone know?

Now this /sigfolder/.... is this what the signature.php creates? or where can I find where the cron puts it?

[traderx]

got it all to work great.... what is the limit of size here on vb.org

Thanks DWard and venomx for all your help

[venomx]

Maybe post how you did it so others can know what to do if they wish to do the same thing,

[traderx]

for my cron job... i have cpanel and with my host I use the Advance Unix Style with:

15 * * * * lynx > /dev/null -dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

The 15 is the duration of time I wanted (15 minutes)... the other * each mean something else. My 15 would be the first * for minute, the second (for the first in the above example) is hour, next is day... month and last is weekday (no clue what that does).

Then I just point to my folder that I have my sig.jpg in... the cron just dumps it where ever it finds it in the script.

Say... what do I do to make my text bold?

[venomx]

I tried it on my server and got a cron error email full of weird stuff.. hehe so I tried another way and so far its working... will see tomorrow how well it did...

I am not sure how to do bold in this :(

[fedoraforum]

Thanks, it work awesome :)

[DWard]

Thanks, it work awesome :)
Click install then :)

[cteselle]

If you want to use a random base image each time the script is loaded:

Find:
//full path to empty signature image (input image)

Above Add:
// Figure out which sig image to use
$rand_number = rand(1,3);

Change the $vorlagedatei line to something like this:
$vorlagedatei = "/path/to/your/forums/sig$rand_number.jpg";

Create sig1.jpg, sig2.jpg, sig3.jpg and place in your forum root.

If you want to have more than 3 images, change the "3" in the $rand_number line to reflect your number of images.

Hope this is useful to someone. :)

If you do not know what this is, you should contact your server admin for details on how to add an entry to your crontab.

[Ifrani]

To get this hack working with the vBCrown change the following:

Search for:


// GETTING TOTAL POSTS AND THREADS
include_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
cache_ordered_forums(1, 0, 0);
if (is_array($forumcache))
{
foreach ($forumcache AS $forum)
{
$nthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
$nposts += $forum['replycount'];
$totalthreads = number_format($nthreads);
$totalposts = number_format($nposts);
}
}


Replace it with:


// GETTING TOTAL POSTS AND THREADS

$holedinge = $DB_site->query("SELECT forum.forumid, threadcount, replycount FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($holedinge))
{
while ($holeding = $DB_site->fetch_array($holedinge))
{
if (empty($focache["$holeding[forumid]"]))
{
$focache["$holeding[forumid]"] = array();
}
$focache["$holeding[forumid]"] = array_merge($focache["$holeding[forumid]"], $holeding);
}
}

$DB_site->free_result($holedinge);

if (is_array($focache))
{
foreach ($focache AS $forum)
{
$nthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
$nposts += $forum['replycount'];
$totalthreads = number_format($nthreads);
$totalposts = number_format($nposts);
}
}


Now you can use the sceduled tasks in your admincp. :nervous:

weird...I had this working on an old server, but on the new one, I get a red X. I changed all the server info and CHMOD the folder to 777, but still nothing.

[Natch]

Did you change tyhe full path info in your .php file?

[Takamine334]

yeah

[DWard]

So you...

Have GD2 or higer (preferrably)
Have entered the correct paths for each image in the signature.php file
Have CHMOD each file to 777?

If so, there should be no reason for it not to work.

[Takamine334]

done all 3...still nothing. It's weird as I had it working before.

[boo.3]

ok i made the image how do i make it go? ahh i'm lost

[PaulioTheGreat]

Hey Guys, Not Sure If You Know But I Had GD 2 installed on my server (the latest version) and all of the information checked out but i still got this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettftext() in /home/xbox/public_html/signature.php on line 259

I then went on php.net and found that for imagettftext to work you need not only GD library but you need FreeType Library too, if your are on a cpanel server its simple just get your host to rebuild apache with all of their normal defaults and FreeType And GD library, i only know this as i own my own server and all is well now.

So I Thought I Would Share And Stop A Load Of Anger! Because Im Just That Damn Nice :)


Paul

[DWard]

Oh yeah, if you want the font, as I have had demand for it, I have now attached it in the first post.

[hitmanuk2k]

Usually this error occours if the GD library is not installed on the server. If not, the function is disallowed.

Well statistically, for everyone that clicks install, 10-20 have downloaded and are using your hack. I know this cos I have had queries from people who are using my hacks and have not clicked install...

[Takamine334]

Well statistically, for everyone that clicks install, 10-20 have downloaded and are using your hack. I know this cos I have had queries from people who are using my hacks and have not clicked install...

Point being, I patiently waited for over 3 days with no response. It's rediculous to say I was impatient.

I run a Bit Torrent site that has over 1000 people using it a day. I'm able to get to each and everyone one of my users questions before a 3 day span.

Plus, I put in over 40 hours a week working at the hospital....

So, waiting 3 days isn't impatient.

It doesn't matter though, this weak hack isn't worth any headache. I've clicked uninstall and won't be using any hacks from this guy.

I don't put in the time to provide hacks, but I do put in many many hours of support time at my website. I know you may think that answering a few questions about this hack is difficult, but try running a website that has over 1500 users a day downloading terabytes of live shows continuously.

You have no idea.

I wasn't asking the guy to come over to my house and do the laundry, I was simply asking a question that obviously other users are having the same issues. If he was worth his weight in salt, he'd at least have said, I'm busy at the moment, but I'll get to you as soon as time permits.

When you open signature.php, you get a completely blank page? No errors? and when you use it in a sig, nothing at all shows up? I am FAR from a pro, but maybe with the time I spent digging thru this thread and messing with my own, I can help? Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes...

I am FAR from a pro, but maybe with the time I spent digging thru this thread and messing with my own, I can help? Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes...Thanks for the response. I understand about people having a life outside of VB :) and, ill be patient, not a problem, just hope someday I can get this to work.

I get a completely blank page, it doesn't diaplay any errors on the page. If there is another way to check for errors, i am unfamiliar. I posted some info in a couple of my previous posts in this thread hoping it would shed some light.

I don't know if this helps, but my sig.jpg and signature.jpg files are identical, just 2 different names. Should the sig.jpg be the input image and signature.jpg be an ampty file?

Thanks for any and all assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

[boo.3]

i don't really understand how this works? what should i do? how do i make the image to go with text?

i do Photoshop and know it very well but have no idea how this works :(

[Takamine334]

Hell, I've been patient, and I have not recieved any help. I cant get it to work, not even a red x. Help just seems to be selective. It is an excellent hack, just wish I was able to use it :(

It's not worth wasted ATP. You'll never get help.

Yup, the 2 images should be identical - that threw me at 1st too :o If you bring up signature.php in your browser its showing a blank page? or are you getting the blank when you use the bbcode?

I'm sure you have already checked this, but is the path to both images accurate (although Im pretty sure that would throw an error, or red x if it wasnt correct)

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will pop in with the answer, these are just really basic preliminary things - it took me a bit to get mine going, but i kept re-reading this thread and eventually the lightbulb went off and I realized my issue (paths! Doh!! lol)

Hang in there, you'll get it going!

[NYI Fan]

i don't really understand how this works? what should i do? how do i make the image to go with text?

i do Photoshop and know it very well but have no idea how this works :(What I did was make a sig tag, with an area that the text would fit into - saved it as sig.jpg and signature.jpg - then I edited the signature.php file as directed, and uploaded everything per the instructions. Once you see how it falls, then you go back into signature.php and tweak the margins so the text goes where you want it.

After I figured it out, I was also able to append an existing sig for someone else on the boards so they too have the stats but on their own sig (just did as previously suggested and created a signature1.jpg, sig1.jpg and signature1.php, but followed the same process)

[NYI Fan]

if you search this thread for imagettftext you will see some folks have that issue - depends on your hosts support for it. If you turn off TTF support (use default font instead) does it work then?

[DWard]

Yer this usually means either your host has disabled the use of this function or the framework for the function is not installed on the server.

$vorlagedatei = "/home/sevencityracing/html/hosting/sig.jpg";

//full path to signare image with forum data (output image)
$ausgabedatei = "/home/sevencityracing/html/hosting/signature.jpg";

Again, thanks for taking the time to try and help me.Ah, no worries, if I can help, it's nice to be able to give a little something back to such a great resource as .org ;)

Anyway, I think you're correct about it being a path issue! your forums are here:
http://www.sevencityracing.com/forum/index.php
I'm guessing your signature.php is at http://www.sevencityracing.com/signature.php

did you upload the images to a subdir of the forums, or straight off the root dir? If it's off the forums, thats the problem, your path seems to point somewhere out of the forums if you use the bbcode and get the red x, then right click the red x and look at the properties, it will tell you where it's looking (and not finding) the red x - you can adjust accordingly then! (That's how I fixed my red x issue anyway!)

Give that a shot and we'll go from there.

[TLSNetwork]

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere in this thread it may have been but i have not got time to go through it all , We use our sigs sometimes to show off to other forums and use our sigs as that show off , Alot of forums do not allow you to use the php tag in your signature , So how do we get around this , It is pretty simple really thought i would show how here so anybody else can use this as well. Open note pad or your favorite editor of course and put this in there
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^signature.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif) /forum/signature.php


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.(your site name).com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.forum.(your site name).com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://(your site name).com/forum/index.php [R=301,L]


Now of course replace (your site name) with your own and you may also have to alter the first line to where your signature.php file is.

Now save this file as .htaccess and put it into the same folder as you have set on that first line. Or if you already have the file .htaccess in that folder then put the code above anything else in your .htaccess file

What this does is create a rewrite rule so that any querys it get for the file signature.jpg/jpg/jpeg/png (any of those extensions) it directs it to and runs the file signature.php Thus running your stats sig and writing it and returning it as that file signature.jpg

Ie this is my signature www.tlsnetwork.com/forum/signature.jpg

Gee hope you understand all that and you find it helpfull if you need it.

Opps just realised my sig might be advertising , (just using it as an example) , Mod please remove the link if its not ok.

[NYI Fan]

That is correct.

I have them uploaded to the /hosting directory off the root. When I right click the red x and hit properties, I get this path: http://www.sevencityracing.com/signature.phpIs it possible th actual path to those images is
"/home/sevencityracing/hosting/sig.jpg"
or
"/home/html/sevencityracing/hosting/sig.jpg"

Because when I went to http://www.sevencityracing.com/hosting/signature.jpg (OR sig.jpg)
I can see your images! I know this sounds silly, but worth a shot
open your FTP program, connect to your server - navigate to the folder the pics are in (hosting) - now look at the ftp programs address bar - what does it show? (It SHOULD show whatever the actual path is to your jpg's)

If that path IS correct stangsta, I'm not sure what else to suggest except maybe try moving the sigs nd changing the path in the php file around a bit and see what happens?

ftp://www.sevencityracing.com/html/hosting/signature.jpg

I have tried moving the sigs to different locations, and that has not helped either. Thats why im so stumped, I can usually figure this stuff out on my own, but for some reason, i cant seem to get it.

(It is the only way I know for sure to be 100% sure the path you are putting in is correct)

Since we KNOW that by going to http://www.sevencityracing.com/hosting/signature.jpg the image is being seen, we just need to figure out your hosts actual path to that directory. The /html/hosting/ thing is what's throwing me as all my domains use a home/ACCTNAME/ path(none of the extra /html/hosting stuff

I wish I had an answer for you. I don't doubt you are reading the instructions and following them, you seem like a literate intelligent kinda person! I know it's a stretch but what about yanking what you have, and just starting clean?

[TLSNetwork]

one way to check the actual path to your site , ie your servers one is look in phpinfo , You should be able to go to your admin cp in vbulletin

Import & Maintenance ->> View PHP info

Then scroll down abit until you see the header Apache Environment

just under that you should see DOCUMENT_ROOT , Next to that is the actual path to the root of your site

Hope that helps you a little.

[paulz]

has anyone else suffering crazy bandwidth spikes and also noticed that having the sig in other forums where your members go will actually show them as online in your forum, but browsing signature.php? love the script, but those two things and the guests numbers being way off are killin it for me :(

[SVTBlackLight01]

Did you try setting up a cronjob to run signature.php and then just using signature.jpg for the image? It takes care of these problems.

[RetroDreams]

Cannot the cron job or vb cron to work. When I point to the page manually, it creates the signature fine.

Any ideas?

[SIINSI]

What kind of a bandwidth spike?

[SIINSI]

Wow, this thing can work as a title image too :) Would this be insane as far as queries or bandwidth?

[moethelawn]

DWard... I got a question for you...

Is there any way so that you can have the signature.php file not show up in the Who's Online? It annoys me cause every time I look in Who's Online... I see 90% of the time all users and guests with the location:

Unknown Location
/signature.php <-------(as a link)

Is there anyway to prevent that so I can see the user's actual location?

Thanks :)

[DWard]

Yer I understand, i had to add a custom location to get rid of it, the original copy of sig stats created for vb2 worked without global included, but in vb3 there are so many conditionals that I had to use it, the original used to show the incorrect amount of posts/threads if they were deleted or removed on vb3.

[DWard]

can anyone tell me where to edit the color of font that it puts out? mind is coming out blue....

http://www.screen-gems.net/signature.php
Find the line below to change the font colour
//EDIT: Text Colour

[DWard]

can someone tell me how to make this cronjob thing, so the sig is refreshed every 15mins?
The command line is in the code block below, you need to set all options, hours, days etc to *, but leave the minutes to 15 if its a dropdown menu... if you can type in the minutes, enter 15,30,45,0 and that will update the sig every 15mins.
GET http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/signature.php >/dev/null 2>&1
Keep the '>/dev/null 2>&1' part at the end of the command so you nor the web host will recieve emails to confirm the crontab has been completed every time.

how to add a status indicator.
????

[AxEsLoCkEd]

I Mean how to check if i'm online or not. and if im online to tell that im online.

[subnet_rx]

I see some add-ons for this hack, what will it show "out of the box" in your sig?

[Murphinator]

Whaaaeet. It will show in the image. Not outside of it.

[venomx]

Where have you seen addons?
The "out of the box" one is like the image in my sig...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettftext() in /home/wwwsoco/public_html/forum/signature.php on line 259

[DWard]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettftext() in /home/wwwsoco/public_html/forum/signature.php on line 259

When ever i try to do the custom font
'Undefined function' means the function is either something that is not installed as part of the PHP framework on the server, or is simply disabled.

How can i restrict the stats to a specific forum and its subforums and the members to a specific usergroup?

How to add this as vbulletin cronjob?
Cause my hosting account not allow me to create cronjob :(

[FightRice.com]

Did anyone ever figure out a way for this not to show up with all the guests?

[venomx]

Did you read the install directions?
Set it up as a cron and just use the image instead of the php...

[Deska]

Did you read the install directions?

What I mean is vBulletin Cron (Schedule Task) not regular crontab in linux.

[venomx]

Goto Scheduled Tasks > Add New Scheduled Task
Title Sig Stats
Day of the Week *
Day of the Month *
Hour *
Minute 15 <-- or whatever you wish
Log Entries No
Filename ./signature.php

Try that... I am guessing it will work...

Has anyone had any trouble with this under PHP 4.3.11?

[Brandon Sheley]

ah, i was looking for this, thank you very much " clicks install" but ill have to wait untill tonight tor tomarrow to try it out, wish me luck :P

[Brandon Sheley]

hello, i found time to try this out and ran into a few questions.

one step one i see to add 2 images to a sig folder ?

"STEP ONE:

Upload sig.jpg and signature.jpg to a folder on your server, which is CHMOD to 777 (100% access).
"

first question with this is. can i use .gif files ? and two. what do i need for two images ? this is my rough sig, that id like to add these stats too

http://www.locoforum.com/sig/sig.gif

i'd like to put the " forums stats" right under the locoforum url..

i don't understand the 2 images deal.

this is the error i get when i go to mysite.com/signature.php

The image ?http://www.locoforum.com/signature.php? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

thank you for the help and the mod :) hope to get it working soon.

[venomx]

Has to be jpg and it needs two because it edits one and over writes the other.

[Brandon Sheley]

okay, so i can make it a jpg, and then the two images are the same image ? just ones called sig and the other is signature ? or w/e the install says i don't have it right in front of me.. and.. does it automaticly type the info at the bottom of the sig.. like yours ? .thank you for the help


okay i made a simple banner, just to test things out. and im stillg etting an error.
i have these files uplaoded, and chmomd the folder,

here are the 2 image links

http://www.locoforum.com/sig/sig.jpg
http://www.locoforum.com/sig/signature.jpg

and this is my

All you need to do to have it as your signature is add this bbcode:
http://www.yourdomain.com/signature.php

NOTE: This does add a guest to your online users section as somebody views the signature, so the best thing to do, is add a cron task (not sure how) to call the script every 15 minutes or so, then use this bbcode:
http://www.yourdomain.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

[Brandon Sheley]

[venomx]

Man I love this hack but as you can see in my sig I have to keep making the image larger lol

[Brandon Sheley]

venomx you should just put a line break in it ?

and i have a little suggestion for the next release :) if you could put the page views used in PCFreaks site stats, that would be cool :)

[brianstevz]

Got it to work within 10 minutes. Great hack!

[Watson]

yeah I didnt have a problem either, was just after server change got that error I said above :(

[|Jordan|]

It doesn't have to be a jpeg. I edited the file to accept GIF and it works flawlessly. All you have to do is replace all instances of the word "jpeg" with "gif.

[Jaxx]

I see at least one of these now a day when visiting some of the other sites I frequent. Its spreading!!!

[Brandon Sheley]

It doesn't have to be a jpeg. I edited the file to accept GIF and it works flawlessly. All you have to do is replace all instances of the word "jpeg" with "gif.


cool. i figured as well, but just hadn't tried it yet, now i just wish my photoshop skills where a little better ..lol

[Watson]

anyone able to help me out with my little problem :):)

[venomx]

Looks like your host doesnt have the "imagecreatefromjpeg()" program installed...

Have you sent a support request to them asking why imagecreatefromjpeg() doesnt work?

[Watson]

yeah I got the latest gd and the other thing installed on me server mate

[LuBi]

Thanks got ours up after a little customizing! Thanks!

[Mr. Brian]

Is it a MUST for img code to be turned on? Or...?

[LuBi]

Is it a MUST for img code to be turned on? Or...?

well yeah, they're using a *.jpg in their sig which is generated by the signature.php

[LuBi]

Can we get this to align right? or center..? anything other then left? I tried but $left is left no matter what. :disappointed:

[mholtum]

use bb code. ie

path_to_image
