How do you change your sig everytime somone sees it.

[321]

I've seen people with sigs that change every time you see it in a cycle. Like you see it once and then you click refresh and you see a different sig from the same person. And if you click it enough it will show you the same one you saw at first. Can somone please tell me how to do this?

I think they may actually be random. I dont know how to do it. But i'm sure it's some kind of BB code.

It's actually a .php script, you need a server that supports PHP 4.0+ to host the script on

Ah, now i get it, you link the picture to the image url, and then that URL is always changing the images. Makes sense.

Squeek, is there a place I could get my hands on one of those scripts, or do I have to write one my self? I know a place where I can get 10 megs free /w PHP.

[321]

Thanks for telling me and I would also like to know if I could get the script.

I've already made 6 sigs, the below one being the most recent..I really wanna get some kind of PHP script going because it's annoying having to change them every few days...

No one says you have to change them every few days.....

Yea, those are the best tracks so far, IMO. You see the video for FBD yet?
As for the rest of the album, I've looked around, but haven't found any mp3's on it. A certain P2P program has RIAA fakes all over it, so I guess we'll have to wait till the 20th to hear some of the real stuff, see if it's worth buying.
From what I read in a recent issue of Alternative Press, there should be some Tim/Lars singing duels like from "... And Out Come The Wolves" :thumbsup:


And to make this totally not off topic..... So how bout that script.... anyone have it.....? :D :p

[Doobz]

yeah, i saw the video on All Things Rock late one night, really good song

judging from all the recent songs by Rancid, i really like the direction they're headed in

I don't mind them going a bit more commercial, as long as they stay true to the message...

<?php
//read folder
$folder=opendir("." );

$names = Array();

while ($file = readdir($folder))
$names[count($names)] = $file;

closedir($folder);

//sort file names in array
sort($names);

//remove any non-images from array
$tempvar = 0;
foreach ($names as $name)
{
$ext = strtolower(substr($name,-4));
if ($ext==".jpg"||$ext==".gif"||$ext=="jpeg"||$ext==".png" )
$names1[] = $name;
}
//random
srand ((double) microtime() * 10000000);
$rand_keys = array_rand ($names1, 2);
//random image from array
$slika = $names1[$rand_keys[0]];
//image dimensions
$dimensions = GetImageSize($slika);
header ("Location: http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/$slika" )
?>


That is the script, for PHP noobies copy paste all that code into Notepad, change the http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/$slika to the appropriate directory and on the "Save As" drop down box select "All Files" and save as sigs.php

Upload to the directory defined in the .php script (the part you edited) and then upload all images you want to that directory (script supports .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp). Then take the URL (in my case http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/squeeky.php) and paste it with [img] tags in your sig. Viola!

[Ghryphen]

Some boards like Invision don't like the folder or .php as a image location, so I named my folder gryphav.gif with index.php as the script.

Ok thanks for the help Squeeky.

[321]

Hopefully people are still looking at this thread. Ok I edited the .PHP script that Squeeky gave me, even though I was unsure what to put in the first and second places where I had to edit it so I put the link where I wanted it and I put the same link on both places.
Was that the wrong thing to do?
And then I got stuck

Orignally Posted by Squeeky Upload to the directory defined in the .php script (the part you edited)

What exactly do you mean Upload what to it the .PHP script I edited to it upload it to the site using FTP? so if it would be www.<domainname>.com/sigs I would upload it to the folder sigs?

and then again there was another place I got stuck.

Do you mean to the same folder like sigs or do you mean edit the .PHP script somehow to include it?

[Squeeky]

321, do this.

E-Mail me the sigs you want hosted, and i will randomize them on the PSU server for you. [email protected] :)
