If your signature is posting the code instead of the image, please use the following link and edit your forum preferences instead of Your Account preferences.

http://nukecops.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=editprofile

Basically, EVERYTHING works better if done from the FORUM profile instead of the Account Profile, so I just redirected the 'Account Info' button to point to their forum profile and no more EMAILS about cant accesss the forums after a unsername change or password change either.....seems theres a BUG in the Account profile not sending out the EMAIL for activation or something.

Forums is just a module of PHP-Nuke, forum's profile is for forums only, the rest of PHP-Nuke uses Your_Account's profile. We need to fix the problem instead of giving each other "work arounds". The Your_Account could be most powerful than you could ever think. CNB YA is a good example.

How to post your Dynamic Signature on sites that do not allow php images using Custom 404

Just add the following code to your root .htaccess file, and edit as needed. Signature3.php is also located in my root.

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /signature3.php

Then link your signature to an image on your server that does not exist, like brainsmashr.com/signature.gif

I have read of another method using Rewrite in the .htaccess, but I was unsuccessful in getting that method to work. I know for a FACT the above method works.

Well, that way has some errors. Basically your signature will show on every error.

So I started playing with the Rewrite method and figured out why it wouldn't work for me before.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule signature\.gif /signature3.php

Remove the custom 404 and add the above to your .htaccess, editing as needed

The first slash is to escape the period. The second slash is to tell the rewrite to look in the root for signature3.php.

NOW my signature only appears when I call signature.gif (which STILL does not exist) instead of appearing on every 404 error

Not very complicated, but I changed my signature to 2 images.

BrainSmasher, how did you make your signature? I want to make a similar signature like yours.

Is the info auto update in your sig?

Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 4:29 am

Yes, it's called a Dynamic Signature, and it updates automatically.

Some version of my signature file is posted on this thread, just go back a couple of pages to find it.

Then I just duplicated my signature and assoicated images, changed the relavent names, then commented out the content I did not want to appear in each signature......and voila.

My signature is actually 2 different images linked to different addresses, I simply edited them so they would appear as 1.

I went thru them but still i am clueless. I check the bbcode.php file aswell and i dont seems to have a similar line.

Can you make one for me?

What i mean is give me a sample or a step by step tutorial.

Terribly sorry, I guess I removed the code I refered you to sometime in the past.

Here is my signature file, edit as you see fit. However, I'll warn you now that the code looks like crap and I've commented a ton of stuff out. Also, I'll just post the side with my website data. It's the exact same code i use for the SETIBoinc side of my signature, but it uses a second image and has different stuff commented out. No since trying to make it harder on you than it has to be.

Save the following code as signature.php, edit as needed, then upload to your root directory.

Code:

<?php
$phpbb_root_path = 'modules/Forums/';

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
include ('config.php');
include ('db/db.php');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

$numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT uid FROM $user_prefix"._users.""));

$sql = "SELECT uname, guest FROM $prefix"._session." WHERE guest=0";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
$member_online_num = $db->sql_numrows($result);
$who_online_now = "";
$i = 1;
while ($session = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
if (isset($session["guest"]) and $session["guest"] == 0) {
if ($i < 10) {
$who_online_now .= "0$i: <A HREF=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&uname=$session[uname]\">$session[uname]</a><br>\n";
} else {
$who_online_now .= "$i: <A HREF=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&uname=$session[uname]\">$session[uname]</a><br>\n";
}
$who_online_now .= ($i != $member_online_num ? " " : "");
$i++;
}
}
$guest_online_num = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT uname FROM ".$prefix."_session WHERE guest=1"));

Save the following image as signature.png, edit as needed and upload to your image directory

Once you've completed that, then your signature will be located at www.yoursite.com/signature.php

where will i upload signature.php?

inside the forums module or ?
and the image?

Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 9:36 am

The signature file goes in the root, the image goes in your image directory....none of it goes in the forum module.

Can i used other image format like jpg or gif instead png?

Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 3:43 pm

Nope.

For lack of a better description, png images are "clear"

BrainSmasher, something is still wrong. I did what you exactly told me, but i still got a Broken Image. What could possibly went wrong>?
