Just joined the Hexus team...

[Barry]

Seen too many teams brake up in seti

[streetster]

quackers - i take it that in order to have a sig like yours (the OCuk sig scripty thingy) you have to be part of the OCuk team - it doesnt make it clear, but i couldnt get the bastard thing working no matter how hard i tried are there any alternatives other than the OCuk image one, because i havent managed to find any...

his is the same as mine

if you want I could host it for you (I already host 30 odd for TPR)

Just send me the image you want used, seti email address and text you want before/after the WU count

[Allen]

I too would like to know how to do it (would wanna host it myself). Where did you learn to do it then?

[Barry]

Need GD installed on your server to run it.

Hmm... maybe not then!

[streetster]

whats GD?

might have a butchers when i get home, i've got PHP installed, but thats about it... is it just a copy and paste job of all that code into a file called like 'seti.php' ?

mark

edit - found http://php.weblogs.com/GD i guess thats it then

[streetster]

cheers barry, got it all sorted even without being able to code php, managed to work out what was going on (well a bit anyhow),

basically Big Al, download php 4.3.3 (7.15mb) which includes all the GD stuff, then copy and paste all that code barry put into notepad and save into a file like 'seti.php', edit the bit at the top - ie

//Setup Variables For Sig 
   $UserEmail="big_al@hotmail.com"; 
   $PreText="work units completed :"; 
   $PostText="something here maybe"; 
   $TextRed=255; 
   $TextGreen=255; 
   $TextBlue=255; 
   $FontSize=15; 
   $TextX=60; 
   $TextY=40; 
   $ImageURL="http://www.bigal.com/woop.jpg";

that bit, and you might want to change the 'font' bit to something like tahoma (the default one didnt work for me..) and you are sorted

im glad you got it working streetster, im not sure exactly how the php in my sig works.

[Allen]

I'll give it a go! Cheers.

[Barry]

im glad you got it working streetster, im not sure exactly how the php in my sig works.

It's the same php code, Just modified by buff on OCUK to allow a frontend

[Allen]

Well, I downloaded that php thing... well... I'll leave it alone this time...

[streetster]

big al - do you have an apache server running, cos you basically need a webserver running and then this php thingy on top of it...

mark

[Allen]

An Apache is an assault helicoptor right?

As I said, I think I'll leave it alone...

I don't have a server, I have a domain name but no hoster at the moment (can't afford anything) so am using geocities/uploadit to store my stuff.

[Barry]

If you want I could host it for you (I already host 30 odd for TPR)

Just send me the image you want used, seti email address and text you want before/after the WU count

[Allen]

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll have to figure out a decent sig piccy now!
