Anyone want a vB3 version of my Graffiti Wall?
 

A couple years ago I wrote a Graffiti Wall for one of my sites. For a while I sold the source, but I recently decided to post it on my MPDev website.

I have a vB3 version which integrates with vB styles as seen on ExtremeFitness; if anyone finds this interesting enough, I'll post the mod here.

man thats decent

Sounds like fun for members.

only thing is users shouldnt be able to wipe the wall i know its a simple template conditional

What does it do??

I made it so anyone can wipe the wall because I got tired of having to wipe it every day myself. Some find it annoying that their stuff can be wiped; maybe I'll put in some kind of conditional before I post the code so moderators and admins can wipe it only.

It uses random fonts to post messages and random places (and random angles).

I want!!

It also records all entries to a log file with username and ip; just for security sake. I added a call to can_moderate() to show the wipe wall option.

It's a pretty basic script; although it doesn't use templates - there's just one file for everything (except the fonts and image files). Like I said, I wrote it a few years ago and I'll have to consider weather I have the time to do a full install/template/phrases version.

how does the font system work? does it just traverse the directory and pick one out at random or is it hardcoded. was thinking to add more fonts

It's a little more complicated than that - it uses an array of font names to pick one randomly. The tricky part is some fonts dont repsond well to the same font sizes as others; so there is some conditionals that will set acceptable font sizes based on the font filename.

If your font works in 18, 20 and 22; then you only have to add it to the array. Two of the fonts I have work with 12-22 ranges, so there are more size options for them.

I also pull random angles from an array which can be tweaked.
