    Just an idea here ruggie , don't feel pressured to take it (if I had my way you'd keep your current one:p ) and as ever its open to any modifications...

    {give it a mo , imageshack is slow}
    {btw ... In doing that I realised something , photoshop is an incredibly stupid program}

    Hey tba , I noticed you have some sort of script running that returns a different image in your sig every time the page loads. How did you do this , I have been looking for something like that for ages? (or have you just been randomly changing your sig the last few minutes? :) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    Yep Its a script, you need a web host that supports hotlinking and PHP. I have my own websapce

    Create a folder that you put all your images into, then make a file called "index.php" with this code
    <?php
    /*
        By Matt Mullenweg > http://photomatt.net
        Inspired by Dan Benjamin > http://hiveware.com/imagerotator.php
        Latest version always at:
        http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage
    */
    
    // Make this the relative path to the images, like "../img" or "random/images/".
    // If the images are in the same directory, leave it blank.
    $folder = '';
    
    // Space seperated list of extensions, you probably won't have to change this.
    $exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif';
    
    $files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables
    if ('' == $folder) $folder = './';
    
    $handle = opendir($folder);
    $exts = explode(' ', $exts);
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension
            if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
                $files[] = $file; // it's good
                ++$i;
                }
            }
        }
    closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
    mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2
    $rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along
    
    header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
    ?>
    

    Then link to index.php as your sig and it will be random every time.

    Cheers man thats awesome , if only rep ++.
    I think my provider owes me some webspace so I'll have to look into that , but that is simply awesome :)

    I hadn't much ideas, this one is a bit weird. Don't know if you'll like it anyway, see below.

    paconnors1tc4.jpg

    just started participating in the photoshop threads the other day, came up with these while i was messing around last night
    There a bit basic:o but they could be worked on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    Awesome guys. thanks.

    now to try and do that tba thingie!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    If you can get a webhost that allows hotlinking and allows you to put all your images into a single place ie boards members space style then you should be able to host the php file in a different location.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Citizen_Erased


    Could you get a modified one that pointed to urls rather than files? I don't know jack about this sorta thing tbh but surely its possible.

    Btw boards members space has been down for a while , unless yous subscribers still have it.

    //edit Armchairninja , the sigs look real stylish but the challenge with sig making on boards is the sig rules . It has to be within a max size of 300 pixels wide and 125 pixels tall. Usually though a simple bit of croping solves this

    C_E cheers for that, i thought that there might have been some sort of limit on it, il redo them later then to that size

    Ruggie

    If you want a tba style shuffler just post this into your sig without the two *

    [*IMG]http://www.uzzisoft.com/randomsigscript/ruggie.jpeg[*/IMG]

    Refresh it a few times...
    ruggie.jpeg

    Done care of www.uzzisoft.com , they will make a shuffler like that for free for you but the images you upload have to be less than 32kb (not a problem if you are loyal to the boards sig rules ;) )

    Ps Ruggie I can PM you the login details for that one if you want to add images to it yourself later on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,645 ✭✭✭paconnors


    thanks ruu

    Hiya lads...

    Any chance of someone knocking up a couple of sig pics for the new Wexford Forum?

    I'd do it myself buy my editing abilities don't extend beyond MS Paint!

    Cheers,

    Iain

    Thats class!!

    Thanks!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    You're welcome. Good luck with the forum.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    I'm back to pester you again, good people...

    We now have a new Hobby Radio Forum, (feel free to drop by), and require some snazzy self promoting sig image to get the numbers up.

    Any contributions, as always, very gratefully received, along a Radio Amateur/CB scanner type theme, with the usual text addition, and maybe a Boardsie logo, (not asking for much I know:D)

    Googling transceivers throws up a host of images, something like the one detailed in the link maybe?

    http://images.tentec.com/radio/products/516/516front.jpg

    Thanks in advance,

    Roundy.
