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

A lot of you guys are confused, especially those of you that are:
Too lazy to learn Cron
Running your own server on Windows
I have a fix for people like you. I have created a SigMaker scheduled task that kills off the IE window it launches itself in. It will take editing of both of the included files, but it works perfectly!
Just make sure you run the Task as ANOTHER user, otherwise you'll get annoying windows appearing and dissapearing every 15 minutes.
Yesterday at 06:50 PM Da_GoTTi said this in Post #122 installed into /usr/bin/perl or the files are in there.....
See... GD goes into the extensions folder of the PHP executable. Not your user directory. If it's in your user directory, and your host claims to have "installed" it, I'd change hosts now. They obviously don't know what they're doing. :bandit:
In the meantime, I suggest you tell them that GD comes with PHP, it just isn't enabled by default.
This line must exist in their php.ini file (well, it's called that on WINNT servers.... :nervous:) and must NOT be commented out with a semicolon.
Code:
extension=php_gd2.dll
They could even add it to the bottom if they wanted, for easy removal if something goes wrong.
Trust me, it's simple to setup, it only took me 5 minutes of searching to figure out how to enable it when RC3 came along!
