Mod Name / Version: Signature Generator
Description: Based on the generic page from Josh and the script Fastbanner from Scott Hough I create this litte add-on for UBBthreads. I have the permission from Scott to modify and post it. It need no modification to the board.
It can create banners on the fly with two text inputs. One text is by default the username (pulled from threads). The script will save the banner under the userID as .png file and can be used by the user for a signature.

It can be used on my board under
http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/siggen/siggen.php but you have to register first. Thats why I post the picture.

Files Altered: none
New Files: Database Altered: no
Info/Instructions: Installation is easy. Create a directory and upload all files to it include all subdirs. Chmod the directory banners to 777 and the counter.txt file inside the directory to 666. Then edit siggen.php and banner.php and set $threadspath to match your installation. Thats all. To use the script call siggen.php
There are some empty banner included as example and you should create your own templates.
to do:
1) modify the online.php language file to show when some use the generator
2) put a link for siggen above or below the signature edit field in edituser.php
3) add some nice banners
4) try to add a option to change the used font
5) delete the banner file (if exists) when deleting the user from the databse
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
But you are right, there must be a }
I have not installed this hack as I want to wait til the bugs are all worked out. Played with it on your site and looks like it will be a great addition for many Threads forums out there.
