@Andy: open the .map with notepad, make the changes, and save the file as map.php that should do it.

Please keep in mind that the point of having a signature image map is so you can fit a lot of links in small amount of space. ^_^; Your signature image is currently 670 pixels wide, which is much wider than the 500 pixels allowed.
Gaia's Rules & Guidelines
Please keep signatures less than 500 pixels wide in both width and height, and a size of less than 100k. Ability to post signatures may be removed if you do not comply with a moderator's request to follow this standard.


I'm sorry but you're going to have to start all over with a smaller image. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

It happens to the best of us from time to time, and the little things like that are usually the things you have to have others point out xp I'm glad that was all it took to get your sig working again smile

yeah I've fixed it... the thing was doubling in size from my server to my sig, but Jakob helped me compress it down so now it should be at least 10kb under xp
Okay! So I have mine working to a minimal extent, accept all the clickable spots go to my default adress. Is this perhaps because I have decimals in my x-y coordinates?

Good Lord! Sorry for the multiple posts!
Can somebody make me one? I have all the links and the picture for the map but... I really do not understand this. sweatdrop
Technique: Multiple Rotation Shoutboxing Sigging Image Links
Difficulty: Moderate (hah, not advanced)
Prereq: Multiple Sig Shoutboxes installed into directories:


ROOT
|--directory
| |---map.php
| |---shoutbox.php
| |---shoutboxshout.php
| |---shoutbox_background.jpg
|--directory

and so on. a map.php must exist in every subdirectory


randosig.php

<?PHP
// Shoutbox Randomizer
// Because Jakob <3 AAN
// Written 7-29 @ late 'o thirty

define("BASE_PATH","./")
define("SHOUTBOX","shoutbox")
define("PHP_EXT", ".php")

// here are our image maps
$shoutboxes[] = "barton";
$shoutboxes[] = "gambino";
$shoutboxes[] = "park";
$shoutboxes[] = "durem";

// select a random integer between 0
// and the size of the shoutbox
$file = rand()%sizeof($shoutboxes)

// WHERE?! Set a Cookie and a Session Variable
// So that we will remember what we were looking
// at in map.php
setcookie("SigMap", $shoutboxes[$file],time()+60*60*24*30,"/",".silver-entity.com",0)
session_start()
$_SESSION['SigMap'] = $shoutboxes[$file]

// run that shoutbox!
require(BASE_PATH.$shoutboxes[$file]."/".SHOUTBOX.PHP_EXT)
?>


map.php

<?PHP
// map.php

// What image did we look at?

$what = $_COOKIE["SigMap"]
} else {

$what = $_SESSION["SigMap"]
}

// right, run that code!

An Angels Nitemare, could you post the code for the shoutbox and the sigmap together?

Andy,

The code is no different. Both are two seperate codes, the shoutbox already given somwhere int his forum.

Yes, decimals won't work in testing the X,y areas. Also, you might want to change the default link to your user profile, instead of the inventory. Hope this helps!

The only thing I dont understand about it is how we get it into our signature, do we host it on the website using that coding then copy and paste the hosted pic to our signature or do we just directly add it to our signature. I use Photobucket to host the images, direct me as of what I would do, should I find a website to host it up on or what @_@ im so confused.


You can have your image hosted on photobucket. The php needs to be on a php ready host, however. If you want to do some of the advanced techniques, you will need to put your images on your php web host. Hope this helps!
