View Full Version : MPDev's Graffiti Wall v1
MPDev
04-25-2005, 10:00 PM
The Graffiti Wall (http://www.mpdev.net) 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).
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.
Be kind and click INSTALL if you use this mod. :)

$picheight = 600;

Should probably have to be "imageftbbox".

You should read my hate mail. People accuse me of stalking them all the time and demand that I stop harrassing them with my signature.

I'm using TTF, not FreeType; but either would probably work.

You'll have to Wipe Wall to get it to create a new wall with the new size.

in the code you can see if ( can_moderate() ) so i think a moderator can also wipe the wall but i only want admins to wipe. Maybe i am wrong :p just tired tonight :)

You could do:

Not sure what would cause this except that we use a ?random number to force IE to reload an image that may otherwise be cached.

How would you only allow people with a specified amount of posts, or those in a particular group to be able to write to the wall?
EDIT: I had to manually create the log file and set its permissions to 622, otherwise it would give an error when logging.
EDIT: figured out the post thing as well

No idea, its not on-the-fly code - its a PNG file that is displayed over a JPG image with a transparent background.
It only accepts a max of 50, anymore and it times out?
I don't really recommend that many characters anyways; but I would think larger strings might cause a problem (it probably can't find a random place to put it).

Colors are done lines 94-101. I don't use black or grey, so might be your setup.

yea it is it would make another query tho and you would have to add a new table with a text area and a ip area but with the log being in a file its that much easier to edit
MPDev
04-27-2005, 03:09 PM
I use a flat file for the simple reason that I didn't want to write up an install script for the mod; keeping it as simple as possible to install/use. Writing the data to a database means having a method of reading it and possibly doing other things with it and I didn't want to write an entire Admin Module for it.
Also, I found that when I wiped the wall after X posts, users would figure this out and write junk to the board so that they could get a clean board from which to post their stuff. It kind of defeated the purpose since people could predictibly erase the board and those who posted towards the end got the least amount of exposure. You might be better off using some kind of random number instead of a fixed one.
DR?@M W?@V?R
04-27-2005, 04:13 PM
Do you think there will be a template version so that one can put the wall in a table in the custom template to fit in with the board design.

OK, I figured out how to wipe the wall via a cron job. Follow these instructions.
Wipe the wall via your browser. FTP into your site and take the graffiti.png file that was generated on your site and transfer it to your hard drive.
Rename this file something else, like graffitiorg.png and then transfer it back to your web site in the same folder as graffiti.png
Now create a cron job at whatever timetable you choose (I've set it up to do it once per week) with the following command:
cp /full/server/path/to/graffitiorg.png /full/server/path/to/graffiti.png
That's it! Whenever your cron job runs, it will copy the graffitiorg.png file over the existing graffiti.png file effectively wiping the wall.
Note: If you are also recording IP addresses you will also have to copy over your IP address file with a blank file to wipe it also.
I know, it may not be the best way to do it but it works.

Depending on the ftp program, that might be your problem. Some ftp programs don't autodetect properly that the fonts need to be uploaded in binary mode. Try manually forcing binary mode and reuploading. It'll take two seconds and will rule that out as a problem

I have also figured out how to have more then one wall. Since I have a number of topic areas on my forums, I wanted to give each topic their own wall.
First take the graffiti.png file and name it something else... I used graffiti2.png.
In wall.php you will find 2 places where wall.php is called. Change it to wall2.php
In wall.php you will find $graffitifile = "$pathto/graffiti.png";
change that to $graffitifile = "$pathto/graffiti2.png";
In wall.php you will find <img src="graffiti.png?<? echo rand(10000,99999); ?>"> change that to <img src="graffiti2.png?<? echo rand(10000,99999); ?>">
Rename wall.php to wall2.php
Upload the files to your server and you should be all set.

Great mod! I hope someone can make it so you can put images against the wall. Please make it. :)
Is there any way to make it automatically wipe every 15 minutes or so?
If I or my moderators arent watching it and people are using it, it will fill up quickly and make it where nothing can be read.
Its a VERY cool mod BTW !!

Not without running a cronjob - and you'd have to modify the script to not check for can_moderate() (line 81); then you'd call the script with ?adminreset=1 as part of the cron (you could use wget or some other command-line utility).

Okay basically it must be because the .ttf files in font directory, does this mean i can't use this wall? Or can i rename the .ttf to something else?
I don't know how to tell if i have gd or whatever... But i would guess not since it dont work?

imagettfbbox is a TTF function call; you must not have TTF support enabled.

I've got another small cron solution.
Basically, I just gutted wall.php of everything except the wall-wiping process, threw the result into a PHP file, and set up the cron job through vB.
Use the attached file and set up a cron job as needed (obviously, the interval is dependent on the traffic in your forums).
Hope you don't mind, MPDev, and thanks again for the hack. :)
possible to add some extra fonts to use with wall??

Not really, at least not that I spent any time on. Other than a predefined pattern, randomizing the location, angle and size would make that very difficult.

Because so many people are using it and my moderators dont watch it full time it becomes unreadable pretty quick.
Is there a way to say after X posts then wipe?

Not unless you code it to track the number of messages written since the last wiping.

Nice little hack, really inventive idea.

Our only concern is how quickly it fills up, that's 2 wipes in like 30 minutes!!
You have any intention of coding it so after 'x' messages it deletes itself?
Or if can't be assed to code it, any chance of being able to give a group perms to wipe it? Right now from what I Can see I would have to make somebody a full admin with all the rights that gives just so they can wipe the wall.
Is it possible even to code it to a specific person or group ideally so they can view the wipe button?

It doesn't appear that it was added properly since the function call isn't available.

O no you didnt you just pimped it.
Can anyone mod this for me so i could have it like that, where they send a sms and it gets added? Or they simply use the subscription thing and buy it at $1 for 10 messages to be added, is this possible?
obviously the subscrition settings would be set by me but id like to know if this can be modded to fit this?

how do you edit the size of the wall? I adjusted the sizes, in wall.php and that didnt do anything. So I opened up the PNG in imageready, and adjusted the size to 800x469. Outputted it as a PNG, and now its green instead of transparent! argh

Any tips for using this as a module in vBadvanced cmps?
I created a PHP Page in the vba_cmps_admin module and then added a link in the Site Navigation module. It seems to be trying to work, although needing some image resizing, except for the fact that the original mod page already has the styles applied through the vbulletin forum and now it is attempting to embed it into another frame for the cmps, so I end up with two headers, two nav bars, two footers etc., one nested in the other.
What would be the correct way to link to a page like this?

I love this hack but I have a quick question...
Does anyone know how to remove the font "Grand Stylus" (the one with all the boxes) entirely?
I tried just deleting it from the font folder but then the graffiti wall still "looks" for it and it gives me an error message.
Does anyone know what edits I need to just eliminate that font entirely?
(I have tried the character fix (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=80771) edit to make it skip certain characters that are causing that box, but it still doesn't fully work for me so I'd like it removed completely.)
Thank you! :)

Sometimes the text will go off the side - not often, but sometimes.
You can change the font array line to remove a font from the list, just remove the entry with the filename you want to remove.
