With the amount of people having Trainn Sigs in their sigs, I decided to take it a step farther. I created a script that allows you to overlay your status, after you complete the site. Shocked

This works with every Trainn site, and is very easy to setup. Just follow the steps below:

How to Make Your Custom Sigs:

Login to the Trainn Site that you want your sig from.
Click on the My Account Tab
Scroll down to the bottom and copy the URL to your Account Status image.
Go to http://www.mytestsites.net/sig_gen/
Follow the instructions there.
Copy and past the code for forums that is generated (should have [img]and [/img] in it) into your signature in your profile

I've approved it with Trainn, and it should work without errors. You can view what some of them look like in my sig.

If you have any questions or encoutner any errors, send me a PM Me. Very Happy

Also, if you want to have a different image overlayed, you can sent it to me, and I will add the option. It has to be a 400px x 100px .png image with transparency. Wink

Current features

Ovelays the following status over your Trainn image:
1. Requesting Approval
2. Approved
3. Received
4. ReSubmitted
5. Denied
Overlays come in many different styles
- 3 Styles are available for the following stauses:
  - Requesting Approval
  - Approved
  - Received
- 1 Style is avaible for the following statuses:
  - ReSubmitted
  - Denied
The ability to have a fast loading image that updates every 24 hours, or have one that loads slightly slower, but is always up to date.
The creation site automtically updates when you try to make a new sig for a new Trainn site (IE If you put http://www.yourplasmas4free.com/goods/123456.png, the site would add the option to make a sig for that site)
Lots of little things.

Can you make one that says "Hideously Oversized Sig"? Also, "Abuse of deform filters".

Thanks!

I liked the old ones a lot better.

Daggoth · Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:23 pm Post subject:

I like the new ones since you can look at the picture knowing what people are going after.

compuguru · Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:01 pm Post subject:

Update:

The Script can now handle your standard ref links.
It will display an image letting you know if the trainn site you want the image from is down
Fixed an error in the ID field that prevented the user from manually entering in their info.

compuguru · Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 5:16 am Post subject:

BTW: For some reason, it is still not showing the right image when a site is down. Right now, it will say that there is an error in your id. I'll try to fix that later. Shrug

OKay, I've got the update up. If you see anything wrong, please PM me. Also, I am going to post what the new features are, what they do, and how to work them a bit later, some of the changes are pretty obvious through.

compuguru · Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 9:35 pm Post subject:

Update:

Added different styles. You can change your style by adding a 1/ before the sig.png.
Example:
http://mytestsites.net/sig_gen/3604free/1189443/rec/3/sig.png
Random signatures can be generated by elimitating the thing in bold above
Implemented a MySql Backend to log stuff
Implemented a Caching type system. This allows for images to be loaded quicker because they are actual files on the server. They refresh automatically every 24 hours.
You can force the image to refresh everytime it is loaded by changing sig.png to sig_r.png
Example: ttp://mytestsites.net/sig_gen/3604free/1189443/rec/3/sig_r.png

Things to Come

Update the Generator page so that you can change the type right on there.

ajasax · Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 9:43 pm Post subject:

Awesome compguru! +Karma Keeps gettin better and better! How many different styles are there?

Edit: nvm, by trial & error, found out there's 3 Wink

compuguru · Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2006 11:55 pm Post subject:

One more update:

Added the ability to chose your type from the Sig Creation Page
Added the ability to chose if you want your image to refresh every time on the Sig Creation Page
Added a preview that lets your preview what the types of sigs look like before you chose one (Javascript Required)
Added the ability to have the url automitically formatted for Forums and HTML
Gave the site a Major facelift. Check it out at http://www.mytestsites.net/sig_gen

Things to Come

Nothing right now
Your suggestion here.

Please PM me with any bugs you encounter. Very Happy

Aww, come on! No one has any comments? Crying or Very sad

BTW: Congrats to whoever has a YourFreeVideoIpods ID of 11659881, your image has been loaded almost 10,000 times. Shocked

ajasax · Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 7:33 pm Post subject:

That would be me (1659881). I guess cause I check the forums quite often Shocked

and I post in high-traffic threads, lol. Anyways, I think your Status program works perfectly now....no bugs for me...obviously Wink

Suggestions...maybe add more styles (a given), put a timestamp on the image somewhere of the last status change. That's all I could think of.
