by the way .... is it possible to know the required library to be installed in the server to run this hack ??<br /><br />I mean which type of TTF library ?? is it freetype2 ?? <br /><br />and what about GD version ?? is it required to be 2.X.X ?? <br /><br /><br />I am intersted to know about this information to put my server standbay and also i am crazy to know when U can post this hack for the users <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ....... at less give as hint <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br /><br />craZy of this hack which i feel its more than perfect <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br /><br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/images/panels/5892-9516.png[/]

this hack is free but you are welcome to make a donation if you wish <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

in order to work the hacks needs GD 1.6.2+ and freetype (gd and PHP must be compiled with ttf support)<br /><br />I haven't tried on GD2 but I *guess* it should work without too much of a problem.<br /><br />About bugs I am still trying to get the preview to work with mozilla which is harder than I thought <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

When will you provide instructions so the rest of us can install this hack? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/images/panels/9813-4245.png[/]

when I have finished the Admin section, documentation and am happy with the overall aspect <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Charles.... This looks great! I was wondering... Is there going to be a way where we can allow only certain user groups access to this hack? That would be a great perk for donating members to have.... If it's not in the plans let me be the first to suggest it while you're still working on it's release......... Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes this is possible eventhough it not integrated in the hack at present time (I will add it as soon as I find some time)<br /><br />the way we did it here is the link is only shown to logged in user by checking the user group (try loging out to see) but I will add an other group check in the script itselft to prevent un-authorised users to access the page.

Awesome!!!!! Glad I mentioned that before ya finished.... <br /><br />[]http://www.threadsdev.com/images/panels/9936-7963.png[/]

After having some thoughts I will most probably release a first version next week for those of you who are interested in trying it out.

Excellent!! Can't wait.... I know the folks on my site will love it......... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Charles,<br /><br />I would definitely love to try it out. The most interesting part would be to install and compile (!!!!!) the prerequisite TTF library with PHP on my good old Windows 2000 box.<br /><br />I will write down instructions for those in the same situation as I am (Windows environment I mean)<br /><br />Keep me posted if you need me to test it.<br /><br />Warm regards<br /><br />Nikos<br /><br />

nikos no need to do this <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the GD library is already included in the windows PHP distribution you just need to include/unquote it in the php.ini file.<br /><br />let me know if you need some help.<br /><br />right now I am not with my computer so I don't have all the files which means the relaese might be in early january when I get back

Merci Charles<br /><br />Can't wait!!!!!<br /><br />Warm regards<br /><br />Nikos

Hi Charles,<br /><br />I have question about this script ,, is it possible to use it with another languages ?? for example arabic ? as u know Arabic language using Right-To-Left layout and im not sure if freetype & GD supporting arabic language <br /><br /><br />so what i mean when the script passing parameter to the library , how to change the UNICode of that string and convert it to other language character set ?? <br /><br /><br />Thank you in advance<br />BMH

hmm interesting question,<br /><br />I will check after new year and will let you know <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Love the look... makes for interesting possibilities...

[/]<br /><br />Is that why I cant see any such link (to create a panel) and try this out? I am logged in though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> cant find anything in the Reply page!

I think it got lost in the 6.2 upgrade here.<br /><br />We need to remind JustDave or Allen to add the link back. *Nudge* *nudge* <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

This is a really cool hack. Any idea on a release date for it?

yup whats the scoop here , this getting released soon ?
