Forum stats on signature image · **Released**: 03-25-2003

[high]Remember the forum rules here at vB.org and don't exceed the signature dimensions: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=50062 . Signatures in violation of the rules will be suspended. --filburt1[/high]

Hi all,

What this hack does:
Calls up your Forum statistics (like No. of Members, Threads and Posts) and creates a new image on your server using GD which you can use as a signature image, where ever you like - have a look at my signature and you'll see what I mean. This is only my 2nd hack - so be kind to me

In order to have the image created, say every 15 minutes you will need to set up a cronjob. Infos are provided in the instructions.txt, and alternatives for those who do not have access to crontab on their server.

Support:
Because I'm pretty busy, I will provide only limited support. Will look in here once a week or so.

Credits:
to kars10 for kicking me in the ass

and getting me to code this - thanks karsten

greets
tina

Update 23.06.2003
- global.php no longer required, thus when signature image is being created it no longer shows up in "who is onlne"
- quality of image output improved
- debug modus with email notification integrated
- tested with gd2

I am. The only thing I changed was the filename from signature.php to sigimage.php, because I also installed hellsatan's signature image 3.0 hack which uses the same filename.

As for the defaults, I left them as-is. I guess I'll try redownloading it and trying it again.

Crazy Pete · #**113** 04-04-2003, 04:25 PM

Nope, that didn't work either. Now it's not even creating the image at all.

is ur folder chmodded to 700/777? and is your folder called signatur?

Crazy Pete · #**115** 04-05-2003, 08:00 PM

Yep, it is.

mr e · #**116** 04-05-2003, 08:46 PM

and your calling your image like this?

images/signatur/signatur.jpg

Crazy Pete · #**117** 04-05-2003, 08:53 PM

Yup, but like I said now it won't even create the signatur.jpg image at all. Before it would, but it was just the white box with the stats over it. Now that I reuploaded the file, it doesn't even create the image. Hrm...

mr e · #**118** 04-06-2003, 04:29 PM

i uploaded the sig.php to my forums folder and then my root folder because it didnt work.
my problem is that when i run the .com/forums/signature.php i get a page not found, and when i run .com/signature.php i get a blank page.

when you first run the page, it will display the basic image with your forum stats on it, upload it to your forum directory and make sure your images/signatur/ folder is chmodded to 700/777 then put the default image in the signatur folder, also make sure signature is spelled the same thorought, in the file it doesn't have the ending 'e'
