| Ah, I see. I did it vice versa as well, but the updates won't show. |
| The updates are hidden under prussia11 because you use solid white for the rectangular shape. |

Temptation said: Ah, I see. I did it vice versa as well, but the updates won't show. I see the updates now. Yojiro said: The updates are hidden under prussia11 because you use solid white for the rectangular shape. That's what I thought, I saved prussia11.png and opened it up in GIMP, and it was white not transparent. |
| Ok, thanks. I'll fix the white to transperancy. |
| Is there any way to make it so that the text which appears on the updates comes out from a central point rather than going away to the right from the point? Basically, i want the text to center itself on one point, irrelevant of how long the text is. If that makes no sense, it can be demonstrated by going into word, on a new document, centering the text and then typing. If that still makes no sense: gah. It's tough for me to explain. |

Centering the text would be impossible with the current set up of the script. There might be a way, but it would require recoding, the only way that I can think of is for the script to count how many characters there are and add z values for each character to the x coordinate. This would be a lengthy script. I could try to code it if you really want, but I am sure saka could do a better job. |

| Actually you would use imagettfbox() to get the measurements of how many pixels it would take to display the text in that font, size, and location. Then you can calculate the width, divide by 2 and offset your text by that amount. If you look around the comments on the php manual you can probably find code snippets for this. Talon/Niroko's script already supports centering text (among other advanced effects) so you might consider switching scripts. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=32704 |

| Well, basically there can't be any Screenshots taken. You download the script used in that tutorial, open it in Notepad or Word, click Ctrl + F, and then search the lines which should be re- made, according to the tutorial. It's not Graphic work, so there can be Screenshot. |

| Got a problem. Almost everything here seems just fine, but for some reason, some of the titles got the "..." added to the next line of the text. Even when I completely disable that "cutting titles" function :/ It's been bothering me for some time already, but it wasn't looking so bad with my last sig :/ |
| @viesiu: are you sure you disabled it properly? sometimes removing things actually causes more problems... and ehrgeiz's code has a couple known bugs. you can try posting your code for settings.php and image_output.php to pastebin so we can see, or try switching to Talon/Niroko's script or my minimal sig script which are more stable. |
I am a banana. |
| Don't worry, I already figured it out :) And I rather won't change the script, since I'm a total noob in php and I'm happy I made this one work properly :P Heh, I ended up using your script :P Had some kind of problems in the beginning with font. Apparently the name was too long (complicated??), but it worked perfectly after simple renaming it :P |

| I'm having a problem with apostrophe signs. It just shows me an ' (refer to my sig). Is it because of the font I'm using (I doubt) or because of my web host (I doubt it too) or entirely something else? By the way, I'm using this script. |
 |
| it's because the apostrophe is a special character in xml (which rss feeds are) and ehrgeiz's script doesn't decode them apparently. It's difficult to fix the way it's structured.... better to just switch scripts... ~.~ |

It's difficult to fix the way it's structured.... better to just switch scripts... ~.~ I see. Thanks. I'll do what I can from here then, with the noobish scripting skills I have. Lol. |

| in my minimal script I just fix it this way: // now we have to sanitize the information we saved to the buffer (no newlines/tabs and replace xml entities) $buffer = strtr($buffer, array("n" => '', "r" => '', "t" => '', '<' => '<', '>'=>'>', '&' => '&', '"' => '"', '''=>"'") ); (there are only five special entities in xml, but sometimes there can by html entities also.... but ignor that for mal feeds) ...but in ehrgeiz's, the rss data is read into an array line by line... so you'd have to loop through them all and run that on each line I guess.... other scripts that use xml_parse() -- one of the buitlin xml parsers for php -- will automatically fix the entities for you... but they are mostly overkill for this anyway. |

| Umm... Can someone please help? I don't know how to do the chmods thing. |
     |
| Log into filezilla with the username and password provided. Find the file/folder that you need to chmod. Right click and hit file permissions. Down where it says "numeric value" Type the chmod that you are supposed to set it to. (i.e. 777) Hit ok, and you are done. |
|
| (Never scripted before, don't have any experience at all. >_>) Whenever I try updating my chmod I always get "Connection timed out." Someone help. This is what it's giving me. |

| Are you using FileZilla? ...I've had great success with it, and it is better at maintaining the ftp connection without much interaction from the user than most clients. You may need to set your client to use 'passive' FTP if you're using a different client. |
I am a banana. |
| Yep, using Filezilla. |
|
| i think you probably have a firewall of some sort, since it looks like the control channel (port 21) is getting through, but not any of the data messages (port 20). |

| I've asked this question a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago, but I still don't know the answer. How do I get this script to display Re-watching properly? |

Joe4evr said: I've asked this question a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago, but I still don't know the answer. How do I get this script to display Re-watching properly? The sig creator in this tutorial cannot do that. I reccomend using saka's minimal script. I will get the link if you need it, but you can get it by going up to the top and searching signature scripters club. then look in the discussion board. Saka's script is my favorite and is responsible for my current sig. Good luck and have fun. |

|
| you can customize any script with enough effort.... my script is minimal but not necessarily the easiest. My script has at least all the features of this one though, and things it doesn't have like alignment. You should catch onto mine quickly if you're used to shiteiru/ehrgeiz's script. if you need glow effects and borders/glow, you'll need to include Niroko's functions from here and understand how to call them. Otherwise if you don't like digging in the code basics much, stick to Talon/Niroko's script which has glow built in already. It's not necessarily easier than mine either, though, just laid out differently. |
I am a banana. |
| Actually, I only use a border (around the text). I just need to know if your script can make a border and error message and if so, where they are, and where the re-watching is placed. There was also for a random image, but I already got that one. |
|
saka said: and ehrgeiz's code has a couple known bugs. I was wondering what the known bugs are in that script Cause i am using this script but everthing is working fine |
| ....... |
| I see but i thought there were more bugs. Re-watching is one function that i don't use |
| ....... |
| okay... I'm in a pinch... I'm done with almost everything... I have an image, I have edited the codes for image_output.php and settings.php (not sig.php), I have set the chmod for the folder containing them to 777, and I have set the chmod for all the files to 755... Whenever I use http://helpoemer07.0fees.net/signature/sig.php inside a bbcode or even at the address bar, an image error occurs (a small broken image picture)... when I try to use http://helpoemer07.0fees.net/signature/image_output.php , my original image displays but without the list that I wanted to display... What could I have done wrong?? (I have not edited the sig.php in any way aside the chmod)... Is it because of my host (0fees) ?? I'm in dire need of your help... thanks... ^_^ ~ and oh... just in case... I'll place the codes... image_output.php settings.php sig.php |
| I just made an account with 0fees to test, but it has allow_url_fopen off in its PHP configuration. It means the script cannot open a url like a file and therefore this script won't work. There is a bit of hope though because they do allow cURL which you can use as an alternative, but the script would have to be heavily modified. I highly encourage you to switch to another script anyway since ehrgeiz's has some ongoing bugs that have not been fixed and is generally impossible to modify sections of it.... Talon's script will work on your host, or you can try my minimal one which is closer to ehrgeiz's but a lot lighter... though mine also needs one extra function to switch to cURL support. Let me know if you're interested and I can send it to you with the modification. I know it's a bit confusing, but there's lots of people who will help you out. |

| @helpoemer: Max sig height is approx 140px I'm trying to add php script to my new sig here, but it seems i am unable to connect through filezilla. Do 000webhost accounts need to be admin-verified before we can use em? Otherwise i'll try troubleshooting the problem |
| @helpoemer07: glad you got it working, and yeah it's 600x140px... might want to put it in a [spoiler] til you fix it since some people are pretty sensitive to big sigs here. ;) @PresSiT: during an admin review you can't execute php, but they don't initiate one until you upload some php that matches one of their red flag patterns for possible misuse (sigs usually set them off the first time because they use curl or otherwise access remote urls for the RSS feed.... prolly other stuff too). They usually don't last longer than twelve hours, and are infrequent. Usually you get flagged after a large upload, and you'll get redirected to a page that specifically says the site is being audited.... so you'd know if you are. |
I am a banana. |
| I just signed up for an account, so there's a sign saying: System administrator will review your details and activate your account in 24 hours. Troubleshooting?? |
| the password is failing because you have the wrong domain... you're trying to login to 000webhost's main server, but you need to use your domain instead -- this should be your subdomain.... for example mine is saka.site90.com |
I am a banana. |
| thanks. I'll try it out tomorrow |
| I still haven't resolved my problem with the "watching" and "episodes" thing... any help please?? thanks... ^_^ |
