Add-On Releases - MPDev's Graffiti Wall for vB3.6

This is a repost of the 3.5 module; works the same with vB3.6.

The Graffiti Wall is a simple script where people can "paint" text onto a brick wall. You can see an example of the vB3 integration on ExtremeFitness.Com and ViperAlley.Com (more of a chalk board).

I also use an img src with half sized dimensions to preview the wall on my Summary page which can be seen on ViperAlley.Com; this could also be added to your portal pages for greater exposure.

Features
. Fully integrated with vB3 for styles/users
. Admin/Mods can "wipe board"
. Optional logging of paints to log file

This is a very simple mod to install; there is one self contained .php script, a few fonts and a bricks.jpg file to upload.

Requirements
. Your server must have GD2 support (GD1 support may work, but not tested) for PNG files including TTF support.

This is the updated mod from the 3.0x version located here.

Be kind and click INSTALL if you use this mod.

1.0.1 - 2/3/2006
. Fixed painttext issue in ZIP file

Excellent mod, but is there any way of getting it to post images instead of text? I've tried html and BBCode, but neither work.

[MPDev]

Nope, it's for text only.

[Jon.]

Damn. Thanks anyway

The wall is cool but one can make it cooler. I didn't like the size of the board so I resized vertical instead. I also changed to text to 100 words. I tried going more but it kept timing out. I would have made it longer but I will see how it works at 3000px. Here is what it looks like if one wants to take a look.

I have some problems with russian symbols at this wall. Some fonts are not displayed correctly.
What modifications should I do

For example, I have written "Денис Шевченко", but at wall was this

[MPDev]

You would need to use a TTF font that supports your charset.

There are some problems with log file.

PHP Code:

 // You can keep a log of text sent to your wall by uncommenting this section
    $ip = IPADDRESS;
    $fd = fopen("$pathto/efgraffiti.txt","a");
    $debugtext = "$string | $ip | ".$bbuserinfo['username']."\n";
    fwrite($fd, $debugtext);
    fclose($fd); 


In log file I see only post and ip, but don't see username

Log file:

You don't have the required TTF support installed.

Thanks
Do you upgrade the apache server to get the TTF support? Or is it other support on the server i need to activate?

Thanks in advance
