Djb Id Line Forum Signatures

I've done a little PHP magic and have created a forum signature service that allows you to have your DJB ID Line on top of a not-too-horrible image backdrop. The cool thing? The ID Line is dynamically pulled from the DJB site.

:w00t: EDIT: I've created a bunch of different background images for the signatures!

You can configure your own here:
- http://djb.borkweb.com/sig/


Here's a few examples:

Sith


Obelisk


Krath


Long ID Line


If you do decide to use the forum sig, I'd suggest you wrap a link around it to point at your dossier. If you don't know that URL off the top of your head, here it is: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/....asp?ID=DOSSIER

Ah...its because of the special character in your name (the E with the umlaut). I'll get to work on fixing that.

Got it. Your top id line was really long and was truncating, so I had to add in some extra logic to shrink that line down and wrap the text. Should be all set now, though.

For long ID lines, the text is too big for all of the ID line to be fit on top of the picture. For example, mine: http://djb.borkweb.com/sig/3491.gif

I realized that the award/course lines weren't as wide as they could have been. I've increased the max width of the text, however, I may want to think about making the image a tad larger in height. I don't want the text to be too jammed.

RevengeX, with the increased width, your ID line displays completely on the image now. :) Thanks for the heads up!

Cool, Orv. Thanks. :)

Good work, though the images with the DJB Cross (any with the symbol) on the right side are using an old version. We aren't supposed to be using that one anymore.

Someone might get angry.

Please change it to the newer one found in the Codex.

If I added this to my Sig, would it exceed the limits having my sloganizer and this in it?

Not sure...but by golly you'd have a lot on your sig.

You already exceed the limits.

"Signatures may either contain 7 lines of regular-sized text, or one line of text and an image of a maximum size of 500x120 pixels (wxh)."

7 lines of text OR an image & one line. Don't worry though - I'm not getting mean about those yet.

That comes in a few months.

Orv Dessrx

05-02-2007 11:25:15

Yikes! Can we increase the standard image size to 600px in width?

OR change it to: 500x120 pixels OR 600x80 pixels

Tolter

see, i don't know what alot of that means, so i don't know if i already exceed the limits.. :(

It means that in your signature, if you have a picture, like the sloganizer thing, then you can only have a single line of text there.

And then there is the matter of common sense: if your sig is longer than your average post, it's probably too long. :-P

Awesome job with the sig's can you include other images like for instance I've got a pic of the Eclipse that I think would be cool

The sigs look good. It might be nice to have a uniformed sig, but for the moment, I will relish my individuality.

On a differant note, Kaine, I recently aquired PS7, and decided it was time to create a sig for myself. I may have a gone a bit overboard, but as some one in the know, I need to ask you: Is my sig fine as is, or should I censor it, resize it, or remove anything?

Kaine Mandaala

10-02-2007 21:17:02

The rule for images is 500x120. Yours is 612x121.

Also the DJB is supposed to be family-friendly, so removing the actual "swear" word would be key. You can disguise it all you want using alternate characters.

"F***ING" is acceptable. People know what you mean, and you don't come off looking vulgar.

Kel Antar has created a sweet planet/star destroyer background for a sig. I've added that to the list of available signature images: http://djb.borkweb.com/sig/

Thanks Kel!

Orv Dessrx

Kel Antar has provided me with 4 more sweet images for sig backgrounds. I'm sporting a new one as my signature for now. All told there are 11 options and growing. w00t!

10-05-2007 16:24:26

Oh right man, I'm flooding Orv's Inbox with cool new backgrounds, if you got a request, sent it to me to jangofette@gmail.com and I will make it. Sending it to Orv and that's it! It's ready! :P

Nevermind got it going lol. Wicked sigs guys this pwnz major.

Uh I tried this and am getting errors. I'm unsure if my ID line is too big or if I messed something up when pasting into the sig contents box. Is it supposed to say user posted image?

Roche

As I see it, your sig shows great.
