If you don't want your sig on the page, tell me. If I missed your sig and want it on the page post here and I will add it.

[besson3c]

Why bother with manual HTML? I'd be happy to give you the code for my automated sig generator. The display can obviously be customized, but the upside is that it literally takes all of a second or two to add a new sig to the wall.

[besson3c]

CATS: here is the code to automate your work. All you have to do is plug in your signature path for "sigpath" and the desired number of columns for "cols". To add new signatures to the wall, all you have to do is add them to your sigpath directory. I've been right clicking on them, saving the image path, and then in the sigpath in your terminal doing a:

Code:
curl -O "http://imagepathurl"

or

Code:
wget "http://imagepathurl"

Code:
<?php
$sigpath = "sigs";
$cols = 5;

Header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
Header('Pragma: no-cache');

$handle = opendir($sigpath);
$sigs = array();
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
	if (preg_match('/\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)/i', $file)) {
		array_push($sigs,$file);
	}
}
shuffle($sigs);
$imgBuf = array(); 

foreach ($sigs as $link)
{
	switch(substr ($link,strrpos ($link,".")+1))
	{
		case 'png':
		$iTmp = imagecreatefrompng($sigpath . '/' . $link);
		break;
		case 'gif':
		$iTmp = imagecreatefromgif($sigpath . '/' . $link);
		break;               
		case 'jpeg':           
		case 'jpg':
		$iTmp = imagecreatefromjpeg($sigpath . '/' . $link);
		break;               
	}
	array_push ($imgBuf,$iTmp);
}
$totalheight = 50 * ceil((count($sigs) - 1) / $cols);
$iOut = imagecreatetruecolor (200 * $cols, $totalheight);
$white = imagecolorallocate($iTmp, 255, 255, 255);
imagefill($iOut, 0, 0, $white);
$dstx=0;
$dsty=0;
for ($x=0;$x < count($sigs) - 1;$x++) {
	if ($dstx == 200 * $cols) {
		$dstx = 0;
		$dsty += 50;
	}
	$image_dimensions = getimagesize($sigpath . '/' . $sigs[$x]);

	imagecopy ($iOut,$imgBuf[$x],$dstx,$dsty,0,0,$image_dimensions[0],$image_dimensions[1]);
	imagedestroy ($imgBuf[$x]);
	$dstx += 200;
}
header ("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($iOut);
imagedestroy($iOut);
?>

Let me know if you want a copy of the signatures already on my wall

Yes! No wonder he's been an unsatisfied customer, making a mistake like this...

One thing about sales that I've realized though is that I need a customer service department. Would you like to work customer service Dork.? I can give you a commission of all my sales...

See, if I was more experienced at this customer service thing I would know what to feed a troll to make it go away. I've been offering Kilbey this old tin can for a while and urging him to eat it and run along, but he isn't taking it - just gnawing on it a little and growling. What do trolls eat if not tin cans? Your consultation on this matter is greatly appreciated, my dear friend.

Wait, I guess I'm thinking about goats eating tin cans... As it turns out, goats don't really eat tin cans anyway:

Goats

I guess that's my problem.

You can put 'HTML snippets' in the page, I don't know about PHP tho.

PS, added Dork.'s sig.

It's weird that I feel a little love when my sig has been included on a sig wall.

Where's 1.0 and besson's?

Here's a scaled down version of mine, I just updated the script for fun so that you can pass a variable to it via the URL that dictates how many columns wide it should be (although vB doesn't seem to allow doing this, so it is displaying at the default 3)

[besson3c]

never mind

Whose, mine? I've got one of your turtle sigs there... I was just too lazy to copy down the others served by your rotation script.

Can I have the URLs for your other turtles?

[TETENAL]

No, yours. The black background is ugly. Should be transparent. ORT888's and Intl's sigs don't look like intended on black background.

[besson3c]

My background is white, but for some reason it doesn't always consistently render this way... probably a bug in my script, or else a GD/memory handling bug. Haven't had time to address it.

Refresh the page and the black background should go away.

Just get rid off the background alltogether. And why is there always a stray sig in the last row? If you have a 3 column layout make the number of sigs dividable by 3.

I didn't want to leave any sigs outs. I guess I could, but since they are of different dimensions the image is rather blocky anyway. I could resize the under and oversized images to the correct size on the fly, or even create a new copy of the image using the resized dimensions, but that would distort them.

My script basically creates a new single image of all of the individual images amalgamated into one. The individual images need to be copied into this new image, and this image needs some sort of fill color. If I don't fill in any color it will default to black. That's just the way the PHP image handling functions (GD) work...

It seems, unlike the original sig wall, besson's sig wall only contains certain members sigs.

You must not know the secret handshake. (Not that any of this matters. I am sure besson planned this thread two weeks ago over at his forum thinking for some reason it's funny....

[starman]

When I put together the original wall, I just went down the list of sigs and added them one at a time. No favorites. It got tedious, though. It's very difficult to keep it up to date.

Seems Besson only comes here then to cause problems, or try to get on some members nerves. Playing pranks like that seems juvenile

[irunat2am]

K, no offense, but what is the point of having sig walls? I'm not in the loop here.

It is juvenile, but he's only doing it because it's so easy to get on certain people's nerves here, for some reason. He gets a kick out of it, I suppose.

I find it kind of funny, actually, that Kevin feels the need to point out threads at fuzzywombat and link them to some sort of plan. If he's spent any time at the place whatsoever, he knows that planning is not our strong suit. Unless it involves having sex with robots -- we have a massive five-year plan for that, which you are all unwittingly a part of. But I've said too much already....

Does everything need to have a point? Knowing besson3c, it was probably more of an exercise in his scripting skillz than anythign else....

What's the point in anything? I made the sig wall because it was fun. Do we need to define fun?

Maybe we need to define fun, and add it to the MacNN Guidelines....

That would result in some members accusing others of not having fun, and pointing to the rules as evidence
