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

greets
tina

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

copy the users online code from index.php and paste it in the sig.php file, then add the $usersonline variable (not exactly sure what it is) to the part where it makes the text

Hmm.... how would I move the text on the image.

I want to put it on the image in the attachment.

mr e · #**134** 04-13-2003, 07:29 PM

you'd have to change the $top and $left variable

I know the file is there because I am seeing it in the ftp directory

mr e · #**136** 04-13-2003, 09:08 PM

all signature.php does is try to create the image, save it and display it, so if it doesn't exist that means that

images/signatur/signatur.jpg

does not exist, so for some reason it's not creating the image

Dan · #**137** 04-13-2003, 09:23 PM

any idea why it might not be creating it? I know gd is installed and everything because it works with vb2.3.0 image verifaction system

Courage · #**138** 04-14-2003, 10:06 AM

Anyone has any ideea how this is made ?

Same problem here, unfortunately I have no idea why.

mr e · #**140** 04-15-2003, 04:27 PM

all i can say is make sure all the folders are chmodded and everything is named correctly, it's probably something little you just overlooked

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
