saka said: Ah, I see. Hm could we use Python for the graphical interface, and just have it output PHP for the signature? I know I could do that in a desktop application, but I'm not sure how exactly I'd make it work on a server.I've already got a decent signature library going, and nice and modular. That's not so hard to do.... It's the interface that's the most difficult to do right (and also the most important). If it's not graphical, I don't think it's worth building. I want a real-time preview, or at least something close. Otherwise, just leave it to GreatS and dygnatus. I could more easily make a script to make 'sliced' signatures graphically and output the needed mal settings and slices. That might be a good leadup project to test the waters. Then at least people wouldn't need to go out and pirate photoshop just for a slice tool. |

| There are ways to use python as cgi, but it's not as well supported. I think php and JQuery or mootools for the interface should work quite nicely. No download hassle, GD calls are nice and simple... and my library is already in php. :-/ |

| I'm having problems with my signature, I'm able to use the script and managed to make my signature to update correctly but it doesn't seem to be able to direct/link people to my anime list. So I wanted to know how to fix this, can someone help me please? |
| J3T, just copy/paste this bbcode for your forum signature. ;) [center][url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/J3T&sclick=1][img]http://gr3i.netau.net/sig.php[/img][/url][/center] |

| Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! :] I was able to make my very first PHP sig: But I have a question. For one of my future sigs, I'm planning to make one where the text is like sideways kinda. So can anyone tell me how to change the angel of the text in your PHP sigs? |
iMeasy said: But I have a question. For one of my future sigs, I'm planning to make one where the text is like sideways kinda. So can anyone tell me how to change the angel of the text in your PHP sigs? I think to change the angle go to the imagefttext part, and it's after font size. I just put in 90 and tested it a while ago and it worked. I'm really new at this though... I would post a screenshot if my site wasn't under review. Does anyone know of an alternative to 000webhost? Or should I just make a new account? |

| Thanks for this. Finally got mine working. Will have to customize this when I have the time. :D |

Aside from that, how do I make it say "Completed - #/#" It doesn't seem to give me that option. Edit: Never mind, I think I got it working. Just had to edit something in sig.php :D |

| Hey, I'm trying to do a php sig again and I think I got the hang of it but there are a few problems I need help with. Here is what I have so far: 1. I want to change the "@watching 3-12#" to watching 3 of 12 2. How do I limit the number of characters so the lettering stays within my circle. 3. How do I add a foreground image. Thanks |

I want to change the "@watching 3-12#" to watching 3 of 12 2. How do I limit the number of characters so the lettering stays within my circle. 3. How do I add a foreground image. Thanks Imma see how I can help xD You will need to open up settings.php for both number 1 and 2. 1. Find the part that says $pre_watch = "@watching";. Change the @watching to whatever you want. So, if you want "watching 3 of 12", put in "watching". Then, for the "of", find $middle_watch = "/"; . Replace "/" with "of". That should work. If you want to get rid of the "#", find $after_watch = "#";. Erase it. 2. Find $cut_titles = "0"; // 1=yes or 0=no $cut_title_after = "12"; // Put "1" for $cut_titles. Then, for $cut_title_after , put the amount of letters you want it to be limited to. 3. I don't know that would. Sorry. >.< |
| @iMeasy- Thank you! now I just need to know how to put a foreground image in. |
iMeasy said: So you only need the titles, right? I never used v2, but i guess you should just erase the $status parts from image-output.php.Now, if only someone will answer my question before yours XD *crosses fingers* For example: imagefttext($image,14,0,118,48,$colour,$font,$titles[0][0]); - KEEP imagefttext($image,12,0,170,60,$colour,$font,$status[0][0]); - DELETE imagefttext($image,14,0,222,72,$colour,$font,$dates[0][0]); - DELETE spineslayer said: Add this to image_output. php before the line imagepng ($image); now I just need to know how to put a foreground image in. $image2 = ImageCreateFromPng("name_of_file_in_the_same_folder.png"); imagealphablending ($image2,true); imagesavealpha($image2,true); imagecopy ($image,$image2,0,0,0,0,the_width_of_image2,the_height_of_image2); Fill in the name and the width and height of the foreground image. The image file must be in the same folder as image_output.php |
| @Kvakond- Thanks a bunch! |
| You're welcome, I'm glad to help! |
| How do you change the opacity levels on the update text and have the text on an angle? |
spineslayer said: angle:How do you change the opacity levels on the update text and have the text on an angle? imagefttext($image,14,0,118,48,$colour,$font,$titles[0][0]); - change that 0 to the degree you want, for example: 15 -> 15° Changing the opacity on text is a bit more tricky. The best work-around I can think of is to have a fully transparent image file with the same size as your sig. Add it the same way as the previous "add foreground image" problem, but instead of "imagecopy( )" use: imagefttext($image2,14,0,118,48,$colour,$font,$titles[0][0]); .... - you want to put the update text on the transparent image imagecopymerge($image,$image2,0,0,0,0,the_width_of_image2,the_height_of_image2,50); - in which that last 50 means 50% opacity. At 0, nothing happens; at 100 it acts as imagecopy( ). |
KvakondAug 8, 2009 12:48 AM
| Thanks.... I just decided to do the angle because I was already using a foreground image. |
| im not going to use v2 as i dont see much difference but id like to know how to get stroke and glow on the updates, it tells u how on some thread in the scripted signatures club but i dont know how to use it with the saka's minimal script replacement thread. |

Have you read this already? ^^ http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=104246 |
 |
| @_@ too hard to understand, so where do i put all those codes between my updates? |
| Needs more Drill Hair. |
| It is just an example code... Give the code of yours where you put the text on your signature, I might be able to help you then |
|
| From saka's minimal replacement script. |
| Needs more Drill Hair. |
| First of all we need to get all the new functions inside the script, to do this you put the following code just behind the <?php. And don't forget to upload the file ,imagettf.adv.php (found in the signature club), to the same directory as the script. After this part of code the script can make use of the functions inside the other file Since text must been put on top of the glow effect, we need to work before the part of the code: Now we need some extra variables to set up, since your glow need a start and ending color. Notice that I've used a color with alpha(0 is completly visible, 127 is completly invisible), this is because we want to have a fade away glow. We have now set up two colors for the glow. The first is the start color wich is black, the end color is white wich is 100% transperant. Now where we got the colors we can make use of the glow function, here we go: First of all we now use the imagettfglow to make a glow. The parameters 1-5,7,8 are the same as at your normal text, where as the $color, wich is the 6th parameter has now been canged to $glowStartColor. The 9th is the size of the glow. You can scale it here pixel precisely wich means that if you say you want 5 pixels glow around the text, you'll get 5 pixels of glow. But don't be careless with this number you put inside here, since the glow is written in php it self, it isn't that fast. Bigger numbers here would have a longer calculation, where as smaller numbers make the calculation faster. The last but not least paramater(the 10th) is the ending color you want to use. We already had defined $glowEndColor as our ending color so we put that in there. The full code that is replacing the normal imagettftext's is this: And just to mention it again, don't forget to import( require_once("imagettf.adv.php") ) the new file at the begin of the script. |

| How do you have the anime title one color and the number of episodes watched a different color? |
| Can some help me here... I trying to create my first scripted sig but i know nothing about php so far I got this: Where the hell is the text? Did mess up the script or something? Here's the script though... |

For my anime titles, I want to have episodes appear too, but it's not there? How to make just the anime and manga titles appear was asked a page ago, delete this following from image_output.php (under the anime-text output section): imagefttext($image,11,0,250,110,$colour,$font,$status[0][0]); imagefttext($image,14,0,222,72,$colour,$font,$dates[0][0]); And this from the manga-text output section imagefttext($image,12,0,290,90,$colour,$font,$status[1][0]); imagefttext($image,14,0,222,72,$colour,$font,$dates[1][0]); I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly... |
| I'd like to have updates made behind the character for future sigs. What coding should I use? |
| Sorry about that. I didn't know foreground would be the answer. Ok, thanks again. |
