Anyone want a vB3 version of my Graffiti Wall?

[MPDev]

A couple years ago I wrote a Graffiti Wall for one of my sites. For a while I sold the source, but I recently decided to post it on my MPDev website.

I have a vB3 version which integrates with vB styles as seen on ExtremeFitness; if anyone finds this interesting enough, I'll post the mod here.

only thing is users shouldnt be able to wipe the wall i know its a simple template conditional

What does it do??

[MPDev]

I made it so anyone can wipe the wall because I got tired of having to wipe it every day myself. Some find it annoying that their stuff can be wiped; maybe I'll put in some kind of conditional before I post the code so moderators and admins can wipe it only.

It uses random fonts to post messages and random places (and random angles).

It also records all entries to a log file with username and ip; just for security sake. I added a call to can_moderate() to show the wipe wall option.

It's a pretty basic script; although it doesn't use templates - there's just one file for everything (except the fonts and image files). Like I said, I wrote it a few years ago and I'll have to consider weather I have the time to do a full install/template/phrases version.

how does the font system work? does it just traverse the directory and pick one out at random or is it hardcoded. was thinking to add more fonts

[MPDev]

It's a little more complicated than that - it uses an array of font names to pick one randomly. The tricky part is some fonts dont repsond well to the same font sizes as others; so there is some conditionals that will set acceptable font sizes based on the font filename.

If your font works in 18, 20 and 22; then you only have to add it to the array. Two of the fonts I have work with 12-22 ranges, so there are more size options for them.

I also pull random angles from an array which can be tweaked.
