Mod Name / Version: Signature Generator <br /> <br />Description: Based on the generic page from Josh and the script Fastbanner from Scott Hough I create this litte add-on for UBBthreads. I have the permission from Scott to modify and post it. It need no modification to the board. <br /> <br />It can create banners on the fly with two text inputs. One text is by default the username (pulled from threads). The script will save the banner under the userID as .png file and can be used by the user for a signature. <br /> <br />Example picture: []http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/photopost/data/3049/medium/Capture-1.jpg[/] <br /> <br />It can be used on my board under http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/siggen/siggen.php but you have to register first. Thats why I post the picture. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.5 <br /> <br />Mod Status: Beta <br /> <br />Any pre-requisites: require GD library with png support installed on the server <br /> <br />Author(s): Zarzal <br /> <br />Date: 04/26/05 <br /> <br />Credits: Josh Pet & Scott Hough <br /> <br />Files Altered: none <br /> <br />New Files: <br /> <br />Database Altered: no <br /> <br />Info/Instructions: Installation is easy. Create a directory and upload all files to it include all subdirs. Chmod the directory banners to 777 and the counter.txt file inside the directory to 666. Then edit siggen.php and banner.php and set $threadspath to match your installation. Thats all. To use the script call siggen.php <br /> <br />There are some empty banner included as example and you should create your own templates. <br /> <br />to do: <br />1) modify the online.php language file to show when some use the generator <br />2) put a link for siggen above or below the signature edit field in edituser.php <br />3) add some nice banners <br />4) try to add a option to change the used font <br />5) delete the banner file (if exists) when deleting the user from the databse <br /> <br />Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. <br />If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so. <br /> <br />Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

nice, thanks <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

A little typo in the code... <br /> <br />In siggen.php at line 36 there is no "}" <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />change to this <br /> <br />

Nice catch! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

I am having a problem that when the banner is created it is created with only the permissions of 600 and it cannot be viewed. Once I change the permissions manually on the users first banner then it works <br /> <br /> To view in Who's Online do this; <br /> <br />Add to languages/online.php <br /> <br /> <br />Add to banner.php just below <br />require ("$threadspath/includes/main.inc.php"); <br /> <br /> <br />Add to siggen.php just below <br /> require ("$threadspath/includes/main.inc.php"); <br />

[]Jest said:<br />A little typo in the code... <br /><br />In siggen.php at line 36 there is no "}"[/]<br /><br />very strange. I dont know where I lost it. It is in my code on my webspce and I copy it from there for the archive file <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> But you are right, there must be a }

[]<br />I am having a problem that when the banner is created it is created with only the permissions of 600 and it cannot be viewed.

Maybe you can change the file permissions in banner.php after the png file is created. Should be easy to do for a php-Pro <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />[]To view in Who's Online do this[/]<br />Thanks. The easy way is to setup siggen and banner in the language files without any modification to the scripts. It works for me. My example for online.php:<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['siggen'] = "generate a signature";<br />$ubbt_lang['banner'] = "preview a signature";

PHP pro I am not- Coding by chainsaw is my style <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Atleast you use a chainsaw. Im using a dull butter knife :-\

Nice...digging this hack. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I have not installed this hack as I want to wait til the bugs are all worked out. Played with it on your site and looks like it will be a great addition for many Threads forums out there. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

my Idea for the link inside UBBt:<br /><br />edit languages/english/editbasic.php and change the key PROF_SIG as follow:<br /><br />
