Yep, running it through signature.php works fine - but the amount of guests viewing my forum then sky rockets through the roof, all viewing signature.php :ermm:

Yer u need a crontab set up.

I don't have access to crontab or any kind of cron service on the server other than vB's cron, so I really could do with it being set up on that somehow.

As I said, I'll try and look in to it.. :cross-eyed:

Works Great!

Thank you!!

yes great work thankyou

could anyone help me add something to this
i also at the end want it to show the total number of vote in a specific poll

example attached

I may know why, but I'll look into it and get back to you.

A Server update with the new GDlib and now it runs :)

ThX !!!

What version of GD do you have? I think GD 2 is required for the best results.

I'm running GD2

Mmm still a bit confused by your situation, its one I've never seen before. By the way everybody who likes this hack might like the look of a new related hack that I will be releasing on Monday. The details are below:

Follow this link:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66285

I think this guy might have the version that does imagecreate() not imagecreatetruecolor()

That's the only thing I can suggest, I thought of it, but it should have no effect.

Released for Sandy. Extra statistcs in signature, IP address, Browser, and OS.

Caveat: That's not gonna give accurate info if you run it via a crontab tho' - the IP will be the address of the server running the cron job, etc...

He's not running via crontab.

*Bhutz click install

Yeh

I had to point to my verdana.ttf like

Because I was having problems with the script not being able to find the font and sayin that headers had already been sent...grrr

All good now though :devious:

Good Good

OK what am I doing wrong?

I get :


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

when the graphic looks like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

and why when I right-click yours for the properties I see the file name as http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forum.../signature.jpg

but when I right-click mine I get

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

I gave up on the yellow and did a different graphic.

This is crazy how I can only make it work with some graphics and not with others.

I also tried this as a sig on a phpBB board and it work display there -- will this only work on vBulleting forums?

http://hattrick.computergames.ro/forum/signature.php

However, it looks teribile. Where are the colors ? :(

if you look back there is a thing about creating a jpeg and a trurtype function, which was taken off in the new version because that was causing a few troubles.

1. I can only make this work with certain colors -- 90% of the graphics I've made convert down to a 16-color "Safe Mode" look. Below is how I have the font code section of the version I loaded from the first post yesterday.

</FONT>

My understanding was that I commented to where it takes the default -- but I suck as a programmer and that may be where I'm screwing up. The Line 2 & 22 or 1 & 12 confuse me as to exactly which lines are which. Is that 1, 2, 12, & 22 from the ########### down?


2. I see your sig is a JPG -- are you having a CRON job generate a new image every so often -- and it so, please roll me a bone and tell me how to do that. I visit a lot of phpBB and YaBB boards that I have no control over -- and they do not allow for php images.

This is a very cool hack and if I had more control over which graphics will work and the ability to generate frequent images (I know it isn't real time -- but every 10 minutes would be close enough for Government work) for my members -- it would be too Kool.

Thanx

Hi,

I'm using imagecreate() because imagecreatetruecolor() gives me a red x.

However the color comes up looking terrible! It's not even grayscale, it's just some washed out blue all over.

I've attached a pic. I know the stats text is out of alignment but I'm not going to bother aligning it until I know I can get it working in full color :P

Does the input jpeg have to be compressed with a specific value or with indexed color or something?

No - it means that you have an old version of GD - it also means that your server can only produce low-quality images (hence the lack of truecolor support)

What a p.o.s. server. Good thing I'm switching servers next month.

Oh what do you know, I tried the imagecreatetruecolor(etc...) and it worked.

Yer the truecolor and other mode work at different times. O wel. I got signed off from college today for 3 months, so a portion of that time will be spent on this mod for a bit. I'm working on a flash stats thing now, it's getting there.

I'm having the same problem -- but I have been assured that I have the most current version of GD.

The author of this hack said it had something to to with the defualt vs downloaded font -- but I didn't understand exactly what he was saying. I included the portion of the font code a couple of posts ago so he (or anyone else) could roll me a bone.

I have a other problem i use a jpg and he generate all right only the jpg lose the colors look if they have only 16 colors..

Please help

*INSTALLS*

Is it normal that one guest is added (without IP) to the online userlist when I call this script using cron?

VERY nice script!
cLord ;)

Yes, to get accurate post data, I needed to add the vbulletin global.php file, which when run is detected in the online users bit.

I will be adding a small mod for my next version to say 'Signature Stats' in the online users bit.

Hey peeps I am having problems after successfully installing.

I tried to chnage the signature.jpg and sig.jpg for my own but the old one keep appearing, no idea why :(

So I tried to create signature2.php, signature2.jpg and sig2.jpg but now I get this error

Any ideas anyone? :ermm:

Ignore me, I think I should have set my image to indexed colour :tired:

In Adobe Photshop....

Image >> Mode > Indexed Colour

Now for me to position the text...should be fun :nervous:

sweet, I always wanted one of these :D

got it working just have to fine tune an image and the text

Can someone explain the whole cron thing... I've searched through this thread, and can't really figure it out. I don't have cpanel or anything like that... Don't like all the 'fake' guests on the who's online.
