Forum stats on signature image

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

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

That wasn't a URL, that was a line for the cron job. If you have cpanel, you can create it there...

Is there anyway this can be in another format other than .jpg? JPG's quality is absolutely horrible.

In the signature.php file, find...

$img = imagecreate($width,$height);

...and change to...

$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height);

...if you have not done so. This improved mine. By default it is set to zero compression with the line...

$komprimierung = 100;

I've suspended many signatures because of users not reading the forum rules here regarding signature dimensions. Please read my big notice in the first post of this thread before using this mod for your signature here.
