Way ahead of ya. ;P

Well, not WAY ahead of you because it's not in there yet... but I'm working on it. =P

If you did it on the mini-userbar yesterday then it didn't work.
I forgot to update that file last night and only updated the normal userbars.

But yeah, you all got it. =)

Haha ya, I figured as much I'd get that as an answer, but cool :)
Is it basically just a hidden command that you can add? (If I can ask that :P)

Nope, but that's another good idea. xD

I think I figured it out.

You did. Thought it'd be easy enough. =P

Thanks, Omni! I still have a few months that are free, so I'll wait a bit to see if I can maintain it or not.

Might we have any hint on what this easter egg is or does? Just thought I'd give it a shot and ask :P

Nah, I'll let you guys figure it out. If no one finds it in a couple of days, I'll just PM it to anyone who wants to know

Though, you asking about it did give me ideas for more easter eggs. I'll get to work on them later on. =)

I have no objection to integrating it into Omnimaga later. Might be a good idea since I'm not sure how long I'll be able to maintain my 1and1 account. I'll have no problem affording the account once I finally get a job... but I need to finish college first so it'll be awhile.

As for the iframing thing, I have no clue. I haven't done anything with iframes in years.

I almost forgot to follow this subforum. Well, very nice idea and well done.
I suggest adding colour support to hex (like #FF0000, for red).

I may. The deal is that the 'colors' are just different images I used for the background, from there the text is added on top.
I could basically allow "#FF0000" to be the same as "red" but something like "#FE0000"—which is basically red too—wouldn't be supported because of the method used.

Now PHP details: what PHP extension or lib you use? And I am eager to see the source, too.

I'm using PHP5 with the GD library. (I'm pretty sure PHP4 would be fine too.) I'll send a copy of the source a bit later. Messing with something else at the moment. ^^;

I wonder if we can use custom background images?

Due to the method used so far, I couldn't easily allow it. I'm new to image manipulation so the different backgrounds are all different images that I add text on to. I could let you specify an image, but it'd have to be the right size (195x20 or 350x20) for it to look right and you'd still have to add the border and any other little effects you want.

I'll keep learning and I might be able to add this feature one day.



Now, for some updates!

As I said earlier, I added support to properly show level 0-9999 and threw in an easter egg.

Also, I threw together a generator for the links to help people who don't understand how to do it very well or just to test things out more easily and faster.

Sorry for the simple black text on white background look. I'll make it prettier later... but it's fully functional.
Let me know what you think~

Not sure really. I just know that most symbols aren't accepted usually.
But, if Opera works fine then use it that way. =P

Also, if you want symbols like "#" or "+" like I have, you need to convert them to hex first and replace it with %1A, for example.

Didn't even think about that. Thanks!

But, I realized that the hex codes aren't very well known... so... I made THIS!

Just type in the string you want, special characters and all, and it'll give out the results with examples.
If you notice a special character I missed, tell me and I'll add it... but I think I got it all.

UPDATE:
Check the first post, but for a summary... I added more colors, normal sized userbars, and "username" for the bigger userbars.
I noticed that I need to fix the bigger userbars and new colors for the miniuserbars a bit. The highlight is a bit too bright. I'll do it later though... I'm lazy. ;P

Just need to remember now, miniuserbars.php should be userbars.php for the bigger bars.

NOTE:
Levels above 999 now accepted and an easter egg has been added. ^_~

It would be cool if you could have the game name and then have a parameter to put your alias in and THEN the level. :D

That's what I thought. =P
Only issue I see with that is the size. You may have to wait until I expand to normal sized userbars too.
I'll see about finishing that first tonight. Shouldn't take TOO long.

Sure, I'll try to clean it up and comment it first. I'll PM you the code when done.

EDIT: Username support? (Just need a little elaboration to make sure I'm on the same page.)

I'm not entirely sure. I'll think about it... but that's the one of the reasons why current userbar generators don't have dynamic URLs like this and such. I'll try some things out though, it's a nice thought.

Glad you guys like them. =)

I'm thinking about expanding to also doing normal sized userbars and more colors will be coming soon for sure. Other than that, I don't have too many ideas so let me know what you'd like to see and I'll work on it. ^^

Now... why is this in Randomness? Wouldn't this make more sense in Music-Related Talk And Showcase?

Web Programming and Design / Dynamic Userbars!
« on: March 22, 2010, 07:33:52 pm »
Website: http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/
Generator: http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/generator.php
------------------------------------------------------------
I needed to do a bit of PHP to get ready for college and these things are useful. This allows you to make dynamic, simple mini-userbars. (195x20 px) I needed these on Facebook for 2 reasons. Normal userbars are too big, and using a generator or doing them myself in Photoshop would require reuploading eveytime my level changed or I wanted to add a game to my list. Afterwards, I expanded the code to be a bit more useful for others. So, I thought I'd share.

For an example, just look at my signature. You can change the name of the game, the level, or just put a message on it. You can also change the BG color, but I only have 5 options at the moment. Later on, I'll add more colors, maybe some logos, maybe an option to add a picture/logo to it. If you have any other ideas, let me know.

Here's how it all works.

Blank Bar

Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.phpThis just gives a gray bar with nothing on it. Now, the fun stuff.

BG Color

Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php?bg=red
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?bg=redJust add a ? to separate the commands from the rest of the url then bg= and your color and you can change it. If it's not one of the supported colors, it defaults to gray OR if you don't use bg= at all it will default to gray.
Current available colors:
  • red
  • green
  • black
  • brown
  • blue
  • lightblue
  • yellow
  • orange
  • purple
  • pink
  • gray

Adding a Message

Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php?bg=brown&msg=I like pie
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?bg=brown&msg=I like pie even more than I did in the other barTo separate the commands, you use & and for messages add msg= then the text. Note, don't use anything but letters, numbers, and spaces. It'll most likely not work if you do... unless you use my converter!
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/converter.php

Just type in the string you want, special characters and all, and it'll give out the results with examples.

Game Mini-Userbar

Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php?game=farmville&lvl=19
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php?game=nyaar&lvl=0
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/miniuserbar.php?game=nyaar&bg=black&lvl=999
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?game=farmville&lvl=19
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?game=nyaar&lvl=0
Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?game=nyaar&bg=black&lvl=999For the 4 supported games, you don't need to change the BG but if it's not either "farmville", "mafiawars", "ninjawarz", or "castleage" (and it most likely won't be) you should add the bg= or it'll default to gray. Basically, game= works the same way as msg= but handles the background color for any supported games too so you can easily replace the two if you want. The other command, lvl= will simply add "Level: ###" to the right side. Preferred if it was 0-999. You can do longer numbers, but it might not show it all.

Username (only for normal userbars)

Code: [Select]
http://userbars.removedfromgame.com/userbar.php?game=nyaar&bg=purple&lvl=999&name=bobJust add in a name= and your name. (Remember, only letters, numbers, spaces, and underscores.)



That's pretty much the gist of it. Just typing in the URL will show you the image, so you don't have to post it somewhere to test. Any questions, just ask. Any ideas, then let me know. I'm having fun with this. =)
