mr_e it would be wrong to replace it with the above code because $komprimierung is the variable for quality of the jpeg which is defined at the top of the file :)

heh '100% original coding (and proudly not shared)' :rolleyes:

thanks for sharing tina, will use it, not here though :)

got a error when i run signature.php:

gd2 install:

Coolies - definately one I'll use when I get more than 9 members :p

It just bothers me that I seem to have caused filburt1's unique sig to become...um...not unique. I thought it was harmless when I made myself one, but now I think that it only continued to draw more attention to the concept that way. And now this...

I hope that every hacker thinks that way now, than the great community ?vB.org dies on that.
Yes, why sharing hacks here?? Let us stop this now.
Every hack should be unique... :mad:

Sorry N!ck but thats childish

Kars

If someone asks you not to give out their code, you should respect their wishes. All N!ck was doing was confirming for filburt that he did not give out his code. Same here, N!ck, I did not release that code to anyone.. more than a few asked and I said please check with N!ck as it's his and he has given my code the same respect.

It's not a big deal.. it doesn't take a brain surgeon to write the hack, but it was a great original idea-- credit to filburt.

Cheers~

having all these damn signatures here slows this thread down to a crawl....

I've tried to install this but i can't set a cronjob although i have permission to do it. I use Putty to connect but the line of code to make a cron is not enough it seems. How to proceed from scratch in Putty to set this cronjob?

>>having all these damn signatures here slows this thread down to a crawl....

ahaha yea, now we're not only dependent on vB.org's server response but everyone else's.

Nice hack - thanks for releasing :)

feh...... my server doesn't let me do cronjobs and that fake cron thing won't work for some reason

/me tried for 5 hours to set it up and gives up.

Nice hack anyways....

I don't have mine cronned yet.. just run the php script every once in a while. Won't be instant updates but no big deal.

You could also do something like this at the top of global:

About once in every 500 page views, it will update the signature stats. Or you can attach "&updatesigstats=on" to any URL and have it run the script as well.

Can someone send me the code to make this do:

Just gather the amount of posts in only one forum for one user?

*example: I want a sig to let people know how many posts are in my news forum just by me.

I dont understand, i have the recent version of PHP installed (4.3.1) and GD 2.0 or higher is not on my server!

I requested it be installed.

Good hack, but the Cron job does not work, yet if I run it manually it is fine.

Can anybody confirm if they have it running via a Cron job and also if they modified the code?

Thanks.

great hack but does anyone know how to get the thing to run on an NT server. fakecron doesnt seem to do it.

Edit: found it in the scheduler althought it isnt very obvious :(

I have it running on a cron, works perfectly.

Ok, so it must be my setup.

Did you have to give any additional permissions to the .php to run as a Cron and could you tell me what directory you put it in please?

Currently mine is running in /forums/ and works when manually executed but not as a Cron job. However I have other Cron jobs setup and working such as ones for Hivemail.

Thanks.

i have a question...

when i add a new variable but it did not show up??why??

where do i doing wrong?

Maybe Filburt?s version where the image is outputted through running the script, but this hack simply saves the outputted image in a directory as a JPG so you can link to it as you would a regular signature image, so there should be no dependency on anyone?s server response, nor that much of a slow down (except for the kilobytes each signature takes of course).

Nice hack, I like it. Need to get my cron in order will try overgrow's addon.

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg: Unable to open './forum/images/signature/sig.jpg' for reading

Try checking the way you named the directory it's calling for. It's spelled "signatur" in the php file ;)

also remember to set the proper permissions for the 'signatur' folder - chmod 777 i think it was

I'm having a strange problem

Ever since I added this hack, my who's online has been showing 2 guests with almost the same ip(last number is dif in IP). They are always creating a new thread, even though there is never a new thread created, and they are on 24/7.

Screenshot attached :confused:

]uhm.. what about protecting the folder where signature.jpg is? it is chmodded 777 and anyone can do evil things with it...

BTW, great hack :)

wooolF, try this:

I can't get this to work :(
These are the path"s:

$zeilenabstand = 15; //Line spacing of stats text
$vorlagedatei = "forum/images/signatur/sig.jpg"; //Relative path to underlying signature image
$ausgabedatei = "forum/images/signatur/signature.jpg"; //Relative path and Name to new signature image with stats

error in attach

]oh... thnx for the answer... I allready fixed it by defining line spacing as 0 :)

thnx alot anyway!

Nuc, i got same error, its from not having the GD2 installed on your server

Sehr nette Idee - funktioniert einwandfrei

--------------------------------------------------------

Nice Idea - works perfectly !

Tnx Da_Gotti, we've a very lazy sysop. I'll kill him. :D

]here's example of my signature ;)

You're evil wooolf :p Nice work!

]thanx mate! :D btw, I am evil ;)
My title on my forum is Evil Admin ;) :bunny:

Just like the instructions said, although I need to use the php in mine.

0,15,30,45 * * * * php /mypathfromroot/www/forums/signatur/signature.php

Damn, my bad!

It was the leading PHP that I did not have in my entry. I must have read those instructions several times but could not see the wood for the trees.

Thank you.

Question: Could I have the sig files on one site; the folder, images and php file. And have the cron job on another?

Am I able to call it and it work?

Thanks :)
