Signature

[hl]

I know it's been up for a while, but I'd just like to get a couple ratings for my signature. I know it's pretty plain but I like it :)

Rate away :)

Am I missing something? All I see is a green box?



Edit: I see now it changes colors.

[GlamourKills]

Boring, make it more random, and not one color.

[B3NKobe]

I dont think I can comment on it

[imark]

I like the idea, but it's not very exciting. How about color pallets(sp?)?

Keep the randomness tho ;)

[hl]

people aren't noticing it's a random color. well it is :)

i might do a pallette :)

[NoirWD]

its alright but it doesn't capture to users attention...at first I thought it was just a plain box....maybe added some words, anything that would draw the user.

[G]

nothing to critique on it just a bland single color rectangle :(

[Vexir]

I like it, its like having colour lovers in your siggy :thumb:












Yeah I know I'm wierd, but everything has its uses.

[Seb Hughes]

I am Commentless :love: do you use php to load a random images?

[icio]

it's a pretty cool idea :)

cs2 seb: I'd imagine he generates random hex numbers and then draws the rectangles using php.

yep.

heres the code for whoever wants it:


<?
header('Content-type: image/gif');
function leadZero($number){

$narray = preg_split('//', $number, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$count = count($narray);
if($count == 1){
return "0".$number;
}
else{

return $number;

}
}
$img = imagecreate(300, 60);
$r = rand(1,255);
$g = rand(1,255);
$b = rand(1,255);
$transparent = imagecolorallocate($img, 255,255,255);
imagecolortransparent($img, $transparent);
imagefilledrectangle ( $img, "0", "40", "300", "60", $transparent );
$rancol = imagecolorallocate($img, $r, $g, $b);
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0,0,0);
imagefilledrectangle ( $img, "0", "0", "300", "40", $rancol );
imagettftext($img, "6", "0", "255", "48", $black, "silkscreen.ttf", "#" . leadZero(dechex($r)) . leadZero(dechex($g)) . leadZero(dechex($b)));
imagettftext($img, "6", "0", "0", "48", $black, "silkscreen.ttf", "TheSpitBox.net - Coming Soon");
imagegif($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>

feel free to mod it in anyway you like.

It would be cool if it changed without refreshing the page.

[Jeff Wheeler]

That could work by doing a header "Location: $PHP_SELF" after a certain amount of time, without too much trouble I imagine.

i don't think that would work. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would most likely be the path to signature.gif

[Jeff Wheeler]

On some servers, $PHP_SELF is a global variable equal to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], I just didn't feel like writing out the whole thing.

i know, but i meant that it's probably not going to work.

i'm seeing if i can get it to be an animated gif with random frames every ten second. of course, pausing it would just be a right click away for people.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Alright. I want to see if I can get the timer thing working. It sounds like fun.

[hl]

header("Refresh: 10;" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

i put that in the file to test it out. it works on the direct thing. (www.thespitbox.net/kirupa/signature.gif) but won't work on the forums.

[Jeff Wheeler]

It doesn't refresh for me at all...

[hl]

like i said, go to www.thespitbox.net/kirupa/signature.gif

it'll refresh every ten seconds. just wait for it.

on the forums: it doesn't work.

[REEF·]

I barely stay on a post for 10 seconds, you might wanna think about that.
