And you speak for all?

The implementation of a statistics signature for vbulletin is a great idea, though it has been done before, and done better:

http://www.vbseo.com/blogs/danny-bem...-generator-63/

Gio deserves rep for it but at the same time, those considering it should be aware of the risk of this code.

Read around; lots of admins shy away from installing mods that perform even a single database query on a busy board. Now this does 3 queries for every view of the signature. Say you post this signature on a busy forum with around 100 concurrent users. You are looking at 300 mysql queries to generate a single image. Big problem!

A far more safe way to do this, though not updated in real time, is to run a cron job which creates the signature image every hour or so.

In regards to changing font, its pretty straight forward:

PHP Code:


		
			
$font_size = "10";
$font_file = "bombard.ttf"
imagettftext($my_img, $font_size, 3, 0, 5, $text_colour, $font_file, $vbulletin->options[bbtitle]);

Font must be a true type.

Thanks
liked this mod but as to the comment you made,your right this is not so good so until i can work out how to cron job it then ive uninstalled.
would be nice on some instructions on how to make a cron job which creates the signature image every hour or so. please:)

Check the link above Carlos. That one has a cron built in.

Maybe Gio will include one in an update too.

Updated stats_image.php to use vbulletin's datastore and forumcache to pull stats, as oppose to running queries for each.

Take a look at this image
http://www.pchangout.com/forum/sig5.php

I just used my own background with it:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Gather info

$total_posts = number_format($total_posts);  

$total_threads = number_format($total_threads);  

$total_members = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']); 



$my_img = imagecreatefrompng("http://www.pchangout.com/images/sig/5.png");

$background = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 255, 255, 255 );

$text_colour = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 000, 000, 0 );

$line_colour = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 203, 203, 203 );

Is there a way where you can also include how many members are currently online? Is that possible?
