MPDev's Graffiti Wall v1
 

The Graffiti Wall 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.

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; 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. :)

haha, thats real neat..definatly something i will add for the users of my site :)

[high]* TyleR clicks install[/high]

It is gonna be really fun using this. One quick question. Is it possible to make it in a fix width ?

cool... ;)

Great Hack, thanks for sharing!

The image created is a fixed width - this can be changed in the code:

$picwidth = 1024;
$picheight = 600;

Is it possible only to allow admins to wipe the wall ?

haha

very funny

click install :devious:

well done man! Very cool and original idea.

Thanks, GMan. I wrote this a couple years ago on a whim (not long after writing the code for this signature that became so popular).

So you're the one who's putting the fear into every internet n00b out there....LMAO!!

Great job on both man...

/me clicks INSTALL!!!

this is definatly HOTM

Very nice!

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettfbbox() in /home/glaucon/public_html/arcade/wall/wall.php on line 109 hmm i got that error trying to wipe the wall

Sounds like you don't have freetype support compiled with gD.

Should probably have to be "imageftbbox".

Oops, guess you're right, missed that one.

Please forget my post above.

I tried to change this but the image is still in the previous size. Tried everything but no change.

i got the same error as well..:(

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.

It worked thank you. what about only admins can wipe the wall ?

lizard its already in the source

if you do {word} it gets parsed as _word

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:

if ( $permissions['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL )

or, for a usergroup:

if ( $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 )

Thanks :)

very cool, i may modify the code for my own use;)

Sure, go right ahead. I just don't want people posting the code on their sites without my permission (or posting modified versions without permission).

this is very cool. Thanks again m8.
I tweaked it out to rewipe itself after 40 times and tied it into uCash.

Loads of fun shall be had by all :)

right before the eval navbar I added

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Grafitti Wall';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

u mind sharing your ucash code?

Nice! I had considered putting in some kind of counter; but never got around to it. :)

Re: navbits, good idea, I'll add it to the code.

I would be interested too :)

Awesome hack...

total coolness installed it on my site at http://www.FightRice.com you easiest install. EVER!

Thankyou very much :)

viper alley url needs sorting

a pic on there is causing this problem

[218] Microsoft Multiple Application/OS GDI+ JPEG Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attempt detected (CAN-2004-0200)

IE wont pick it up

Warning: imagepng(): Unable to open '/home/site/public_html/forums/graffiti.png' for writing in /wall.php on line 125

I get this error when trying to paint or wipe.

make sure there are no extra white spaces after the closing php tag (?>) at the end of the file wall.php....

Hmmm, there was one white space, I got rid of it but, still the same error :(

What editor are you using?
