Mini Mods - ForumSig 1.0

Outputs a PNG image you can use as a forum signature with live forum statistics.

This was only tested with vB 3.6.1 There might be something similar to this already but I could not get a version that I could get to work so I made my own.

Install Time: <30 seconds

Installation:

1. Change $forumname to the name of your forum as you want it displayed in the image.
2. Upload sig.php and base.png to your forum root
3. Do any modifications to base.png you want (Optional)
4. Your signature is ready to use!

A sample implementation in HTML:

<IMG SRC="http://yourdomain.com/path/to/forum/sig.php">

I've installed this fine hack but my only concern is that when I view "who's online" there seems to be an awfull lot of people (and spiders) on the actual php page of the image. Its strange cause my .htaccess rewrites them to a .png file. Should I be worried?

I understand how to change the font size. But how the heck do you change font style like this person did?

And I'm also interested in setting up a cron so I can use an image that gets updated.

To use different style fonts, refer to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php

Ok heres how to add some others for those who dont know how

Members Online:

PHP Code:

//Members Online//
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vbulletin->options['cookietimeout'];
$guestsarry = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(host) AS sessions FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid = 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut");
$membersarry = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT DISTINCT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE userid <> 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut");
$guests = intval($guestsarry['sessions']);
$members = intval($vbulletin->db->num_rows($membersarry));
$online = $guests + $members; 


And add this to get it to show:

PHP Code:

imagestring($im, 2, 100, 30, "Members Online: " . $online, $text_color); 


and another

Newest User:

PHP Code:

//newest User//
$newuser = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT username AS newuser FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ORDER BY userid DESC LIMIT 1");
$newuser = $newuser['newuser']; 


And add this to get it to show:

PHP Code:

imagestring($im, 2, 230, 30, "Newest Members: " . $newuser, $text_color);
