How do I put it in my sig so it up-dates here and stuff?

[Squeeky]

Cant, HTML in sigs is disabled.

[NightWalker XI]

Aww shit, I was thinking it would be so cool to have my stats showing...oh well....theres not much use for it other than that

[Squeeky]

Yah,
Not sure why Hamma disabled them. We used to have them, but i forgot why he did it (if there was a reason). Lot's of forums have it disabled, not exactly sure why

Where do you get this? I would love to use this on another forum that allows html.

www.planetside-universe.com

first news post

[NightWalker XI]

Yup, I never usually do much mroe than glance at main page but those are cool news, if I could use it in the forums it would be even cooler

You can use PHP to parse XML into an IMAGE which you can use on the forums.

We disabled HTML for a variety of reasons, security.. etc. Plus sigbot doesent work with HTML sigs :D

Huh???

Wait a minute...explain to me what I have to do exactly to make it work...

[Hamma]

its not for the faint of heart..

lol

I dont even know how to do it from scratch. :p

on a side note, someone sent me a similar script to what they are using at that site. Depending how i feel I may put it up for download/public linking

[Squick]

Hamma, so that must be how some of those free e-mail services that require you to look at a picture and type the word you see work ehh? Thats quite a neat trick...

Web stuff amazes me, the onlything I ever do in HTML is done in notepad, the way HTML was designed to be done :)

[Hamma]

Yea they probably use a similar method..

You can get PHP to manipulate and create images. Then just link to it as if it was an image, then you have an image with "live" data :brow:

Also with HTML I could have a full flash game or movie as my sig I'm pretty sure. Not exactly good for people with 56K.

[NightWalker XI]

Atlas managed to put it in his sig...ow'd he do it?

[Zenny]

You're talking about the thing in my sig where it shows my stats?

To get that working go here first:
http://www.planetsidegaming.com/psgaming/features/stats.php

Insert your characters URL found by typing your name here:
http://myplanetside.station.sony.com/character_index.jsp

Scroll down to where it says:
Image/Signature

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possibly the best feature, for those who would like their stats showing in their forum signatures etc. simply link to:

[.img]http://stats.planetsidegaming.com/3/476841/stats.png[./img]

Then a picture of the thing here



You just put the whole url with the img parts in your sig and should show up :D

[EDIT] Weird, anyone else see the stat thing on Nightwalker at the top of this thread, but toward the bottom, it doesnt show? Only reason I posted this cause Nightcrawler didnt have one :confused:
