Forum stats on signature image · **Released**: 03-25-2003

[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

hi corsacrazy,

you will only need to set up a cronjob if you want the image created automatically every 15 minutes. Its not a must. Read the instructions corsacrazy. It does not tell how to do it exactly, because that goes beyond the scope I can offer, but it tells you alternatives if you do not have access to telnet or webmin or ssh to create you own cronjob.

Sorry, I'm still a little new, but what is a cron job?

A cron job is a script that runs at periodic intervals. In this case you would set it up to call up signature.php every 15 Minutes for example.

Hi corsacrazy,
yes thanks for the info about the usergroup. I forgot to remove that. I've updated the hack just now, and yes your right of course, theoretically you can query anything you want
