VB Version: This actually works on 3.6.0 - 3.6.4


Description:

This Hack will but your vb Forum stats (i.e. No. of Members, Threads and Posts) on your Signature Image. It uses the layout from sig.jpg, calls the stats from your Databank and creates a new images called signature.jpg

This hack uses the PHP-GD Function, so be shure you have this enabled on your server. If you don?t be shure about this, ask your host or look in your PHP-Info.

Installation Instructions:

1. Open signature.php in a text editor and set the variables at top according to your requirements (These are settings for stats text placement and with and height of signature image)
2. Upload signature.php to your /includes/cron/ dir
3. Open sig.jpg in your favourite Graphics Programm and make a real cool Signature image
4. Save it with the same name and upload it and a blank one named signature.jpg to your forum directory (CHMOD 777 on both)
5. Install the plugin and wait 10 mins (or run the scheduled task "Update Sig Stats")

I want to use 4 variables but want to break them into two columns. If I do that as-is, the spacing is off. Is there any way to change it to do two columns?

See example: http://www.bigtentalk.com/forums/signature.jpg

[Mr Chad]

to change the font find:

PHP Code:

imagestring($im, 2, $left, (($i * $linespacing) - $linespacing + $top), $output[$i], $text_color); 


also find the .GDF font you want and place in your cron directory then replace that line with:

PHP Code:

$font = imageloadfont(DIR . "/includes/cron/proggysquare.gdf");
imagestring($im, $font, $left, (($i * $linespacing) - $linespacing + $top), $output[$i], $text_color); 


also remember that proggysquare.gdf is the GDF font i tested it with you need to rename that text to what ever your font is named.

to change the text color you just change this:

PHP Code:

$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 69, 69, 69); //black text
