Cool dynamic sig (my own)
Check this out :D
![]() I got my php signature code from the eq2 forums and molded it how I liked, slapped in a background image, and woot. My site picture links to my site, and my eq2 picture links to my alts. Whatta think? |
Well isn't that snazzy...
Count me as jealous. Quib |
The text is all white (for some reason it's not cooperating with me), but it's acctually making it transparent, so to see it better, switch to the light style on the forums
|
i want one!
If i remember correctly that site wasnt english.. so .. linky? oh and i suck at php so some instuctions would be nice ![]() it looks like dos... ![]() |

Pffft, I didn't use a site generator, lol. Only used the code to pull the data from the site, the rest is my doing. :) If you wanted instructions, you would have to have a host that has PHP and GD support. Unless you got me to host it for you.... hehe. Basically the code pulls the data and assigns them to different data variables... $traits_a[x] where x is a number $guild_a[x] ...and... $attr_a[x] Then I just used what PHP knowledge I had of creating dynamic images, placed it where I wanted and voila. I asked, and attempting to pull data from the Achievements page, I could care less about showing my attributes, but I decided to fill some space ;) All I have to do is open the file, and change the playerId to change what shows up, but what is on there right now is my main, and click the pic links to my alts page. So all is well. |
Updated. I figured out how to get the data from the achievements page too. Woot woot. :cool:
*edit* Oh yeah, it didn't like my BG picture before I think cause it had layers, so I'll stick with simple bg, and replace logo with text. |
Would you mind posting a sample of your php code for that? Puhhleassse? :D
|
*edit edited and edited once again*
|
Uhmm, how to tell my server to read the .gif as .php ?
Cant figure it out with try and error. |
it works as a php file, just can't use it as a sig on all forums (ones that don't allow PHP extensions)

Thanks, Drumstix! :)

Actually what is happening is the PhP file on his server is dynamically creating the image file everytime it is called upon. What you see when you look at his posts are images created dynamically when you open his message in your browser. It is not really reading the Gif file as PhP but the PHP file is creating the gif file that is displayed.
|
I call on my version of the php file and nothing is happening... Yes, I have php support. (www.galdor.net)

If you right click my sig you will notice it's a GIF file. How would PHP create the GIF if I'm not calling upon any PHP file? ;) It's doing what I said. |
Oh well. :(
Good work nonetheless, Drum. |

Ok I see what you are saying on my signature which is generated in a similar way, it appears as Code:
http://eq2.onlinewelten.com/siggenv2/signature.php?Id=2484 instead of eq2sig.gif. |

I have absolutely no idea how to make this work.
Can someone break down how to do it? |
The way I do it you'll need these requirements:
- bg image - host with PHP - GD library installed with PHP (not all hosts have it So if you don't have those, you won't be able to do it, at least this way. I'd rather not go through the process of doing it all. I tend to think it something precious, because I was able to get it to work on my own, and would rather leave it at being something of my own. Not something everyone else has :) |
Whoops I had $magic and $melee backwards where they were defined ;)
All better :rolleyes: |

Yeah, I took it down the other day.

Lol yours is lame, mine is dynamic
check it out http://eq2.noodle-bowl.com/sig/?smal...playerid=*your player id* |
Bah. I still don't get how to overlay it over a background image and use it as a sig.
Also, it's pointing to a PHP page on your website... but there's no way to check the code/source. Anyone care to share? |
lol
sharing isnt caring :) but which part you looking for? Code:
require("eq2player.php"); Code:
|
Gotcha, nevermind. I'm just coding-illiterate and this is apparently some kind of deep secret. Forget I asked.
|
the site parse is what I dont give out, cus its a sweet, and under 1 second to parse 50 of them. Some how its crazy fast.
|
Sharing isn't caring? That doesn't help anyone at all. Lol.
Also, if you were talking to me, mine is Dynamic. Lastly, I can care less what just about anyone thinks, I'm sharing the code a few select people, but I'd rather not have everyone running around with the same signature...The code is on the eq2players site anyone... all the code, the parse code. Mine is only different because I change it to how I wanted it, and added extras. Also, anyone that does have what I posted or gave to you... make the last part of the defines look like this: Code:
$Kills=$achievements_a[24]; The reason for this is because when parsing the page, if there is nothing there for what killed, where, and when, it skips it, messing up the defines. I changed my sig to my newest char which currently has no deaths. |
hey drumsitx, Thankyou for sending me the code. Since you were nice enough to share that with me, i can share something with you that you will probably find usefull for the script :D
Currently the Guild and Server names are limited to being only 1 word long :( so what i did was fix that, i did it perhaps not the best way, but it works, :D all my php coding that i learned is self taught so please forgive me if there is a better way to do this; at least it works. To have an unlimited number of words for guild and server name just above this line: Code:
// start creating image Code:
$Guild=Stats( $pplayer, "<td width=\"50%\"><span class=\"field_name_small\">Guild</span></td>" |
The sig generator I am currently using is available at the English Version of this German site.
http://eq2.onlinewelten.com/siggenv2/en/ This page is in English.... |

Yes yes, I hadn't gotten into my old EQ1 guild in EQ2 yet until today I know I would have to fix it. If I find a better way I will share. I also have to work with a few other parts and I'll make sure to post here as I figure it all out :) |
its as fixed as i will ever need it because im a cheap bastard and didnt want to pay the extra money :eek: for eq showing my stats, so all the stuff that i can see is set up perfectly now.
|
*edit* random mubling, I get what taco-man said now, you cannot access achievements if you don't pay the extra 99cents for it :)
|
what i meant is there is that extra upgrade you pay EQ2 like a dollar a month for to have ALL your stats show up on that stats page on eq2players like resists and kills, ect. and i am too cheap to pay it...
|
Yeah, another was getting an error and found out that is why, because didn't have the extra stuff either.
Anyhow... I've just about gotten it all fixed up for my siggie. Probably would have to fix it for a 2 word class name, but then I'd probably have to respace that line because it wouldn't fit :p I'm satisfied for now. |
