Banners?!?!?!?

[Slick]

The folding banners? Yes? LP has them! Me want! Me want! Unless of course he made it himself and the rest of us will just have to wait :-\.

[Park_7677]

Mine's homemade :D

I spent 3 hours in Notepad coding the PHP...

It's hosted on my .com server, and I have plenty of bandwidth to be used.... _BUT_ it is file driven (vs. database) and loads 20KB of data each time it's called... not exactly the best way to do it. I lack MySQL access on the server so it must be done that way. I do however have a database version that's in the works incase I talk my mom into upgrading my account :cool:

It was coded for me and a few local friends to use... and only comes in 2 picture flavors and the alignment is locked at the moment. I may or may not continue to add appearance options depending on my luck with getting MySQL.

I'll allow people to use it in a couple of days once I make sure it's solid.

[Keebler]

Yeah, first thing I did was pull up the guy's sig code to see how he'd done it... only to find myself foiled :p

Looks nice, park :)

The "official" ones are coming... soon... I swear... :p It's just that the sig "soon" is slightly after the milestone server "soon" which is slightly after the team site "soon"... yeah. :rolleyes:

[mmonnin]

Yes I saw that and was going to edit the code inserted in your sig I couldnt do it since its all on your site.

I was ready to be the 1337 h4x0r and steal your sig.

Yeah, I've had to resort to a very odd encoding to pass off the username you want... Had to account for those using quotation marks and other odd characters that don't pass well.

It's not hard to crack if you study it for like 5 minutes....

Crack it, and you can use it tonight... :D Otherwise, It'll be probably tomorrow or the next day before it's "public"..

[Thrax]

I've already started trying! Wuahaha.

[Keebler]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....


<----- TEH W1NN4R!!!! ;D ;D

[Park_7677]

:respect:

/me watches .com server to make sure teh P4 can handle this...

[Thrax]

I figured it out! wuahahahaa.

Ingenius park.

[Park_7677]

For those who crack it....

To change the background .... bg=(1 or 2)

Background 1:

Background 2:

Corners are the only difference....

[Thrax]

I was thinking of all these things, and it just suddenly popped into my head! I started looking at the necessary charts, and started scrolling down...

80.97... It all matched!

GENIUS. Pure genius.

[Park_7677]

Thank you, Thank you... :D

/me takes bow

[mmonnin]

Bah I dont know the numbers. I see each set corespond to a letter but there your guy's names dont give away enough letters.

Ahh yes I remember. ASCII charts. Goog ol' google.

[Thrax]

I thought:

Decimal
Ascii
Hex
Octal
Binary

I tried every one of them until it suddenly dawned on me that it could be nothing BUT decimal, as the numbers were too large and not typical of any other system.

The cat's out of the bag. Such a plan Park, I'm seriously awestruck at the puzzle it posed. I wish I had more things like this to figure out.

[Park_7677]

Oh look at this silly thing....

Signature Code Generator (http://www.realm7677.com/?page=fah)

:p


Enjoy!


Thrax: I could give you a MD5 hash for you to figure out ;)

4a59b8b8a5fdc004a58709ea35851600

That should take you a long while

;D

[mmonnin]

Yeah Thrax the first place I went to was the calculator. None of those gave me the whole alphabet tho. What got me flubbered at first was Park's k and Keeblers K. They were different and then I remember the ASCII chart and that caps are different.

[Thrax]

4a59b8b8a5fdc004a58709ea35851600

MD5 hashes are not designed to be unhashed. Trick question, ass. ;D

[mmonnin]

Yeah I had no idea what I would convert it to.

[mmonnin]

This is something Park made up. Not what lsevald is doing. It will have more features.

[Keebler]

Welcome home, kroff :)

[tycho]

ahh these banners are hot, nice work park!

[WuGgaRoO]

i wanna use my own oldskool background...waaaaaa

[TBonZ]

Great work Park, the banners and sig generator look fantastic.:)

It's been a bit of a long road getting everything coordinated but all the tools have came through now and are in the process of getting everything going on the sig front as well as all the other goodies we used to enjoy.

[Park_7677]

Thanks for the compliments everyone :)

Bandwidth used before release: 20MB
Bandwidth as of 5:20 PM (CST): 32.93 MB

13MB in 17.5 hours... you guys are great&nbsp; :p 16 users I think I've counted... My most used PHP script ever &nbsp;;D






WuGgaRoO: It's only a temp solution, and I doubt I'll add support for custom pictures. Who knows though, I may get bored and go for it...

[WuGgaRoO]

oh...duh...thanks for the sig generator...

[profdlp]

Let's see how badly I mangled this.:D

[profdlp]

Nice job, Park_7677.

I feel a little guilty using your creation - are you sure you don't mind?

I like my sig now.


Prof
(I'll like it even better when I hit 25K, and have upgraded that stinking Voodoo 5...);)

I'm sure I'm sure. Use it as you much as you'd like. Enjoy :) Glad you like :D

[Keebler]

Uh oh... I think we crashed it finally or something... :(

[mmonnin]

Hmm not totally cause the pic is still there. Something is up with the stats tho. Good thing it didnt take down the forums like it did one other time.

[Keebler]

Ha, if something running on Park's service could bring down the forums, then prime needs to go back to the drawing board on his layout here... :p

[mmonnin]

It was more like for some reason the sigs could not access the info it needed and was constantly trying to. It wouldnt time out or something so it became really slow with sigs on almost every page.

[Park_7677]

It's a "bug". I have it update the stats every hour, but we all know how SLOW Stanford stats page loads...

Well PHP uses 30 second timeouts by default (it's changeable) and it times out and clears the cache.

I've got to either get the timeout to extend or have checks and such to make sure the new data is valid before it deletes the old...

I'll be done tonight most likely.

[mmonnin]

Hmm back up again.:D

[Park_7677]

Manual update is good :)

General Keebler & mmonnin... YGPM

In the PMs.. I forgot... the time it says of the last update.. is CST ;)

[mmonnin]

So its 10:30 there right? Its ~11:30 here EST.

[Jumpin' Jack]

sweet lookin' banner.... very sweet! :D

[primesuspect]

Yeah JJ, it MUST look pretty sweet to have a banner that says "Rank: 2"... mumble grumble mumble.....

one day man, one day.....

[mmonnin]

Go get 'em prime. You are like the 6th highest producer for us.

[WuGgaRoO]

one of these days...ill be in the top ten of short-media,...mark my words...

[danball1976]

I like the new F@H sigs. I think they are better than the old Icrontic ones.

Yep very nice :D
but how come I cant link to it for use on other forums, is it possible to do as its a good advertisment for F@H, Im sure if I had it in my sig on other forums I use it would get people asking what its about and maybe help recruit new members.
I have no idea how it works :p so if its not possible then no problem.

[fatcat]

park... anyway to put the stats from ur site into muh sig below?...

TIA
fc

[qparadox]

Testing :D

edit:

Very nice Park, not to bash whoever made the old sigs as they were great too, but this one looks much cleaner and earns a A+ from me.

[mmonnin]

Park has left town so if anyone sees the stats not showing up I can give it a lil kick so PM me and hopefully I am around.

FatCat: From looking at the code, you cant add just the text in there since it all comes from one source.

qparadox: lsevald and frink made the old sigs.

[LawnMM]

So do we have the stat scripts running now? Or is this another beta sig? :)

[mmonnin]

The one in mine is one Park made. There will be another sig gen once lsevald is finished working on it.

[QCH2002]

Thanks Park_7677.... More and More like the old days of folding!!!!

[Park_7677]

Ahh my home...and my computer :D

Well I'm back from vacation and I'd like to thank mmonnin & General Keebler watching over the sigs for me :) Thanks guys!


Regarding custom pictures:
I will work on it in the next few days... I've figured out the best way to do it while I was on vacation :p



Thanks to everyone who as taken an interest in my work :D

[mmonnin]

Only had to update it twice. At least I saw it twice and did it then.

Geebler left for boy scout camp anyway yesterday. He is helping out and not actually a member.

[GHoosdum]

Nice work, Park!

Your support is much appreciated. I hope it turns out alright.

Custom backgrounds... are done :D


Signature Generator (http://www.realm7677.com?page=fah2)



Version 1 is still running, and will continue to. I suggest moving to v2.0 even if you use the basic images because there are some improvements in that area also.


<hr>
Disclaimer:
1) This version comes as is. If it breaks, try and generate the code again.
2) If I get word that the sigs are hurting the forums (on the off chance they do), I will pull the plug with public notice.
3) DO NOT EDIT THE SIGNATURE CODE, PLEASE! The code was made to read what the generator writes, not what you do ;)

Bugs/Errors:
As much as I wish to make this code 100% bullet proof, I don't have the time. I do welcome bug reports though, incase it's important. Please submit them via PM (http://www.short-media.com/forum/private.php?s=&action=newmessage&userid=13)



Remember: The Official Short-Media F@H Sigs are on their way... these are temp!



/me crosses fingers that the code works....

[Park_7677]

WuGgaRoO & FatCat: I have already generated your sig codes for testing. They're formatted and everything if you'd like to skip doing it on your own. PM me and I'll send you the code....

-Park_7677

[tycho]

wowzers.. the combination of work by Park and Lawn have produced the wonderful sig below...

absolutly awesome job both of you!:respect:

these are on me - :beer: :beer:

[Reign]

Thanks!

[Jaketh]

Test.




Edit -> Woohooo! Thanks for the Signature!!!!!!!!!!

[QCH2002]

Sweet, yet again!!! Thanks Park!!!

[Khaos]

Hey Park, nice job on the stats generator.

/Edit

Way beyond the scope of your project.
