I seen someone with "newest member" on his ?
Did I miss some code?

[Natch]

Nope - that's a customisation: you can in this script pull in any data you like, and output it to the image.

Show newest user in Signature Stats
This will show you how to display the newest user in your signature image

Open your signature.php file and Find:

	$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest;

Below that, add:

// GETTING NEWEST USER
      
 	$newestuser = $DB_site->query("SELECT username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ORDER BY userid DESC LIMIT 1");
      	$nuser = mysql_result($newestuser,0);

Then your $output string should be a little like this (look for bold text):

$output = "MEMBERS: $numbermembers THREADS: $totalthreads POSTS: $totalposts ONLINE: $totalonline NEWEST USER: $nuser";

If you have any problems, just reply in this thread

thanks DWard

[DWard]

No worries! If anybody needs something else in their signature, contact me and I'll get on it

[oldfan]

here's a shot in the dark...
i have a BitTorrent tracker intergrate into my vB3 and I have the stats output in my forum index.
Is it possible to add this to the signature too?

[DWard]

It may be, could you send me a screenshot of the table your stats are being read from?

For those others of you who have been waiting days for the detailed answer on how to make the washed out graphics work -- the answe is (drum roll)

The image you are using has more than 256 colours so the method in the hack will never work. The function they should have used to create the initial image is imagecreatetruecolor and not imagecreate, so if you replace the line

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

with

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

it should work.

Great! Thank you so much , I tried everything before i found your post!
