You need to actually put a pic on your sig.jpg file! You have probably got confused between the two... the sig.jpg file needs to be the one with the background image.

ok one step closer.... I get the right picture to load, but it looses it real color which should be like the attachment

[DWard]

hehe, now u need to change

$sgdver = 0;

to

$sgdver = 1;

[traderx]

YES.... that did it... THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to help me get this right. I will just have to play around to get the stats where I want them to be.... any hints? I will in the end use a font, so I should get that uploaded first I would think.

Once again ty so much

Not realy, you just have to play around until u get the right look

[traderx]

ok will do... what are the steps to have this as a cron job? Oh... is there a way that I can have this displayed in a normal email?

For using a font I show the full path just like the sig.jpg?

What you need it as a cron for? It auto updates when the image sis loaded...

In the txt install file it states

NOTE: This does add a guest to your online users section as somebody views the signature, so the best thing to do, is add a cron task (not sure how) to call the script every 15 minutes or so, then use this bbcode:
http://www.yourdomain.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

Plus I would also like to use in my emails as a jpg file.... if this is what happens. (that from the cron it 'makes' a jpg file)

[venomx]

hmmm I do remember that now... A cron shouldnt be hard to write for it...

[traderx]

Could someone help me out with exactly I need to do, I have never done one before and I wouldn't know what to tell it.

Just so I understand the purpose of it.... a cron with create a jpg of my sig every 15 minutes (or what ever amount I tell it) and place it in a folder that it is told.....

I would think that doing this would be much better then having the php script create it at every time (server load?)

So any direction will help, or post what ones you use.

I would like it to be used with my CPanel (if that matters)

Thanks in advance
