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

Is it possible to run Multiple Banners with this stats hack in each different one? I would like to have about 5 different banners for one of my communities, each focusing on a specific area I want to reach out to..

Thanks,
David

Great hack! I've been looking at this one for awhile, but didn't have GD 2.0+ on my server. I finally spent an hour last night upgrading PHP and GD. I then installed this hack without any issues. Thanks again for this hack!

Anybody have the adjusted code that displays Online users?

My image doesn't seem to be updating itself via the cronjob. Any tips on how to make sure it will update without having to run signature.php to update it manually?

will this work with gif images?

My cronjob doesn't seem to want to work with this...

What do I need to make sure I'm doing right so that it works? Thanks.

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