Forum stats on signature image

[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

is there a way to change the font???

[Almax1]

how do you put the stats side by side ?
horizontally

Meh.. I'm having to use Fake Cron to get it to work, but it's all good..

Thanks for sharing.!

I just took out the /n in the script since it is same as a return line.

Your server does not have gd enabled check your php info and you will notice it is not in it. Ask your host to install Gd library.
