probably some time next week

WB Charles!

Cool deal

Yes...

Me wants this.

I've gotten a few PMs from people who seem confused by my signature - the image is dynamic and displays your information only for you (as is my avatar). The text on the last line is a random quote from several of my favorite movies.

The confusion has led some people to think that I have published their IP address in my sig for some reason.

Cool Michael I would love to know how to do that one.

Well, the panel graphic inspired me. I had a random quote signature that I developed a couple months back. It would take quotes from my favorite movies and translate them into a graphic image which would randomly change whenever someone was reading a message. The graphic was kind of plain, I always planned to go back and make it look nicer - the panel thing just gave me the inspiration to do it in a similiar manner.

So, I wrote my own panel generator and combined it with my random sig stuff. The "hard" part was making the panel fully dynamic in size and centering nonproportional text.

I'm planning on making it so people can add their own text for signatures and avatars.

LOL was referring to freaking everyone out by telling them their ip info Kinda cool.

Well, thats easy; since the image loads from my server I know the referring information for the person.

I just looked while I was reading & thought that ip looked like mine LOL hey it is it is ..

haha funny people would pm you thinking everyone is seeing there ip's too funny

Whats really funny is that since posting my new signature code on Friday (less than three days); the sig has served up over 36,000 impressions! And it's already gone international and shown up on boards that I can even read! lol

Like I said, I might start running paid advertising thru the network. lol

at Last!

please check my first post for a link.

Thanks Charles for releasing this - nice one.

Could be very useful, as long as users do not overuse it - one of those features, where at times, it is good not to announce it, but allow the more observent ones to discover it, and then have fun, watching others say... 'How did you do that?'

Thanks again.

Ian

[]Like I said, I might start running paid advertising thru the network. lol [/] don't forget my 20%

Thanks Charles. Will install this one tonight.

^^Yeah what Josh said. I will give it a go tonight. Looks really cool

Hmmmm....dunno if I'm doing something wrong but I keep getting the following message when I upload ubbt.inc.php:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION' or `T_FUNCTION' or `T_VAR' or `'}'' in /home3/www/piniononline/ubbthreads/ubbt.inc.php on line 1724

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getmicrotime() in /home3/www/piniononline/ubbthreads/main.inc.php on line 16

hmmm strange, maybe it was modified for an other hack

in your original file you have:


add ,$user at the end which should give you something like


then search for

and add underneath

there let me know how it goes

Well..it sort of works now. The problem arises when I go to post the pannel in my post. I get the following error when I press the "Add to Post" button:

File has been generated and [image] tags should have been added to your post

If this is not the case please add the code provided below to the text zone

what webserver do you use ? apache or iis ?
also is the panel created or not ?

Apache

The pannel is created but not posted properly it seems.

hmmm
I thought that setting would work on all server...

what you can do is remove line 47 to 53 and try again maybe it will work for you

Works great now Charles. Also had to fix a setting for the http address for the pannels folder. Forgot to add a "/" at the end of the address and that's why it wasn't inserting the proper web addy.

Thanks for all your hard work and patience helping me

you need these lines if cgi.force_redirect is switched on in your php.ini

Hiya Charles.... I've got it working.... However... I get the following errors when clicking add to post.....

Now, although I get these errors it does add the code to the post and works perfectly once you post.. But the popup.php doesn't go away and remains with those errors.... Any ideas??

oops.... sorry, also.... how the heck can I change who accesses the thing?? I found in the ubbt...... where the number groups are but changing them seems to have no affect.....Only admin can see it right now......

ok....sorry Charles.... Got that user group thing working.... Just the error from my first post and I'm good to go live..... Too cool!

Good stuff I'll give it ago tonight

ackkkkk trying the fix you suggest to pinion.... sorry.....

k..... deleting those lines fixed my problem too.... Thanks Charles!! testing it for an hour then moving it to the site.... THANKYOU!

OK I modified slightly the preview.php file in order for the script to work on every server.

it is included in the ZIP or you can download it from this post

let me know how it goes.

I have just installed this and LOVE it cant stop playing

Okay the panel generator link was added back here

enjoy

lol this is navaho

Well, since the panels are being stored versus made on-the-fly; storage might become an issue at some point if you have alot of people using this feature.

I can see where after a few months you might have a directory full of images!

There's also a couple other goodies in the keyword list! lol

This is great. Thanks Charles. Got it all installed.

All seems fine, panels are generated, but the preview image appears as a broken link for me.

I've tried your updated preview file. And I've played with permissions on default.png and static_cache.php. Both are currently 666.

Any ideas?

Thanks for this.

Josh are you using win2k ?

No Linux.
