700/777 ?
whats the 700 for? i only set it to 777

Ok here is my problem...

my webhost installed GD, but its not showing on my php info page. But it is installed into /usr/bin/perl or the files are in there.....

WHAT DO I GOTTA DO TO GET GD ON MY SERVER?????? ;(

have them upgrade to php 4.3.0, that comes with GD

A lot of you guys are confused, especially those of you that are:

1. Too lazy to learn Cron
2. Running your own server on Windows

I have a fix for people like you. I have created a SigMaker scheduled task that kills off the IE window it launches itself in. It will take editing of both of the included files, but it works perfectly!

Just make sure you run the Task as ANOTHER user, otherwise you'll get annoying windows appearing and dissapearing every 15 minutes. :D

See... GD goes into the extensions folder of the PHP executable. Not your user directory. If it's in your user directory, and your host claims to have "installed" it, I'd change hosts now. They obviously don't know what they're doing. :bandit:

In the meantime, I suggest you tell them that GD comes with PHP, it just isn't enabled by default.

This line must exist in their php.ini file (well, it's called that on WINNT servers.... :nervous:) and must NOT be commented out with a semicolon.They could even add it to the bottom if they wanted, for easy removal if something goes wrong.

Trust me, it's simple to setup, it only took me 5 minutes of searching to figure out how to enable it when RC3 came along! :D

ok im confused. the readme says upload sig.php to the forum directory and run it fromwww.yourdomain.com/sig.php ???

upload it to your forum directory then run it from www.YOURDOMAIN.com/FORUMDIRECTORY or if your forum's a subdomain FORUMDIRECTORY.YOURDOMAIN.com

upload it to your forum directory then run it from www.YOURDOMAIN.com/FORUMDIRECTORY/sig.php or if your forum's a subdomain FORUMDIRECTORY.YOURDOMAIN.com/sig.php

my sig.php is still giving me a blank page without making the new jpg

how do u make it show the users online???

copy the users online code from index.php and paste it in the sig.php file, then add the $usersonline variable (not exactly sure what it is) to the part where it makes the text

Hmm.... how would I move the text on the image.

I want to put it on the image in the attachment.

you'd have to change the $top and $left variable

ok here is a very weird problem...... I uploaded it all but everytime I try to vist the signature.php in my forums dir I get a

The page cannot be displayed

Anyone know what might be going on?

I know the file is there because I am seeing it in the ftp directory

all signature.php does is try to create the image, save it and display it, so if it doesn't exist that means that

images/signatur/signatur.jpg

does not exist, so for some reason it's not creating the image

any idea why it might not be creating it? I know gd is installed and everything because it works with vb2.3.0 image verifaction system

Anyone has any ideea how this is made ? :D

Same problem here, unfortunately I have no idea why.

all i can say is make sure all the folders are chmodded and everything is named correctly, it's probably something little you just overlooked

could some one Please let me know how I add the number of people online to it???

On my host that uses (according to the phpinfo file) GD Version
1.6.2 or higher, this hack works fine. On my other host that uses GD Version 2.0 or higher according to the same file, this hack doesn't work at all.

Is there something that needs to be done differently for my GD 2.0 host?

Might want to update your install doc.. For users using Cpanel. You want to create a Cron Job using 0-60 for the minute and * for the others with the command of GET http://www.domain.com/forum/signature.php > /dev/null

see my screenshot below for it set up in a Cpanel Control Panel.

http://www.vb-host.com/forum/cron.gif

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/pgsforum/public_html/vb/signature.php on line 44

I get that error when viewing signature.php... what's it mean?

Newbie question!!! WHy is it my pics get changed when i upload them?? Like i did one recnetly with red writtin, now the whole pics gone red :>

Make your image in RGB after your done, go to "image mode" switch it to index, select to flatten, go to "image mode" again and reselect RGB. Go to "File" --> "save as" change the pull down from photoshop to JPG, save it as file name sig.jpg, up load to server, open your signature.php with a browser then go to signatur.jpg and it should look fine now. Be sure to refresh your browser too to get the latest image.

In the browser the pics commin up nice like it should, but via the php file its still goin dodgy coloured :( Could it be somet in the php file??

thxx for this Hack *install*

one can it indicate let how much user straight online on the Forums. With phpbb I saw in such a way :)

@gengar003 that means you don't have GD installed on your server

@MindTrix if your doing a .jpg make sure the function is ImageCreateTrueColor and not ImageCreate

im having trouble finding the users online code in my index.php

it begins with
and ends with

yea, i finally found that and the total online today. thanks

i've used the images tags and pasted the url to the php file, now it just loads it on everyview and it will be up2date always ;x

sorry my english is not so good, who can i displayed "Online now" and "online today", i must have it :banana:

thxxx subu

how come when my image goes to signatur.jpg it looks like crap

http://www.allaroundsite.com/forums/signature.php

lessen the compression or use the code given i think on the 1st page to raise the quality

the compression/quality is the same thing, by default it's 100 (100% quality / no compression), the smaller the number the lesser the quality

Yeah, nice idea.

Cool chew for Hot People :)

Mine worked fine until the other day - if you look at the signature in a post -
http://clanantivirus.net/forums/show...=5161#post5161

and then look at the stats when you run the signature.php

http://clanantivirus.net/forums/signature.php

there is a major discrepancy -
if you look at the sig.jpg

http://clanantivirus.net/forums/images/signatur/sig.jpg

then its obvious that the picture is able to be updated but for some reason the signatur.jpg isnt.

Never mind fixed it

does this work with GD libraries earlier than version 2?

ups,

I have since yesterday GD2 , but my picture has thereby only 256 colors

look at my signatur, what can i do, need help please
