Hi,

are you looking for something like this?

[skyy04]

no im looking one that has more to do with stats for example, forum users last member that joined etc, I have seen it somewhere before..

Please describe clearly what you want, or nobody will be able to help you.

1. Where is this "dynamic sig script" supposed to run? Is it to be placed within the phpBB code or is it to be run independendly and linked to from a sig?

2. What _exactly_ is it supposed to do? If you want to display forum stats, then you have to modify phpBB itself. So you need a mod.

If I understand correctly, he wants a sig that displays the stats for his forum in it live.

Someone did do this on this board before, using php image drawing functions to draw a picture with post count etc in it, and linked to said image in their sig.

It was disscussed on this forum, so, if the search feature was up, it's be easy to find, but since it isn't, well.

If the original poster knows php, I suggest he looks up how to generate images using it on php.net, it's in the manual under image functions I think.

ok I got my signature but since I can not do this

<img src="http://www.yourhost.com/forum/signature.php">

how would I go about it?

Code: Select all

[img]http&#58//www.yourhost.com/forum/signature.php[/img]

Code: Select all

[img]http&#58//www.yourhost.com/forum/signature.php[/img]

phpBB doesn't like that much. What you have to do is do:

Code: Select all

[img]http&#58//www.yourhoust.com/forum/signature.php/alskdajf.png[/img]

(the random ending you provide should end in the image type that you are generating in your script)

if apache tells you that the file could not be found when you try to access this, add this to an .htaccess file in the directory:

Code: Select all

<Files "*.php">
  AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>

This does appear to be fixed in 2.1, however.

Or, if you have cPanel, you can use it to set up a redirect. For example, I set up all requests for stats.png to be forwarded for signature.php, so i can use this:

Code: Select all

[img]http&#58//www.smartprofile.net/stats.png[/img]

to do this:
