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

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

Thanks, djr! I found that at the PHP Online manual, put it in, saw that it worked, and then saw your post. Damn, I should've waited, would've saved me some time.

Thanks.

got a error when i run signature.php:

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg: Unable to open './images/signatur/sig.jpg' for reading in /home/SITE/public_html/forums/signature.php on line 44

Warning: imagecopy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/SITE/public_html/forums/signature.php on line 51

on line 44 it is:

$vorlage = imagecreatefromjpeg("./$vorlagedatei");

Is this calling for some GD use?

Neat-o, the trendy dynamic signature hack is about to get a whole lot trendier.

I like the concept of updating a signature with dynamic stats, though I'll probably modify it to go further such as iRC stuff, etc.

@Da_Gotti: Didn't you recieve a similar problem with my vB Photo, then I had told you that it required the use of GD 2.0?

Yeah, this hack absolutely has to have GD2.0 installed, or else you're just gonna keep getting those errors.

just update php to 4.3.0, that comes with gd 2.0

[Mental Stamina]

much respect on conceiving and coding this

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And filburt1, I'm sorry. It appears I caused a domino effect, and now everyone will have one of these things. I didn't share though (except for with Overgrow, which I don't regret). I promise.

Whats the Problem with that?? This hack here is orginal coding by Tina and not by Filburt1. Filburts is other code.

So cool down.
