~ Utopia ~
User Image
A community foundation

The core value at the heart of this project involves planting the seeds of our Gaian community by involving young people in the act of giving so that they can experience the feeling and sense of satisfaction that results from turning 360 degrees, by first receiving then becoming proactive by giving. They do not just give things; they give of themselves.

Like any fondation, donations are very much needed. There are Gaians everywhere that have quests and need your help. This is the place to post you quests and share your unwanted items with other members of this guild.

Donations should be sent to the user requesting aid: Please post what you are donating so we can add it to list of wonderful donators.

Philanthropy - n. A practical kindness or helpfulness that benefits the community: gift of self, time, clothes or money to others in need. Latin: Love of People.

The Care n' Share projects must:
1. Develop an understanding and appreciation of philanthropy and community.
2. Cultivate an ethic of giving.
3. Provide youth with philanthropic learning experiences that enable them to realize their own power to make a difference in both the Gaian and local/world communities through the simple act of giving.

To build a totally kick-butt quest here are some tips
Recognize you donators

For the avatar pics, that's done on Gaia. ^^ What you do is get the image URL for the user's avatar....
http://avatar.gaiaonline.com/gaia/members/ava/fb/fb/5c4be0a63fbfb_flip.png?t=1129589126_3.00_01
(shrunk because page-stretching sucks)
http://avatar.gaiaonline.com/gaia/members/ava/fb/fb/5c4be0a63fbfb
^Take off all that flippity png t=xxxx underscore blah stuff so you have something like this^
Then add _48x48.gif to the end. Should look like this:
http://avatar.gaiaonline.com/gaia/members/ava/fb/fb/5c4be0a63fbfb_48x48.gif

User Image With the new profiles 48x48 or 96x96 will work. cool Nice!
User Image This image will also change as the avatar is changed. cool Sweet!

% of 100 Dicy Tunas
Description: A hard shell helmet made from tuna scales. This one is shaped in the image of a Dicy Tuna.
Sell Back Value: 1,700 Gold
Equip: Head


Save the code below as a PHP file. Create another file named 'current.txt'. In the text file, put your current gold and how much you need... like this:

1337 1337 6969

^this is how you do it if you have just pure.

If the value of your savings has a minimum and maximume (like donation items, for example, where the value varies) the first number will be your minimum and the second your maximum. Like:

455 1337 6969

And save the text file. Next, go the fonts folder, in the Windows folder on harddrive. Copy the Verdena file to your desktop.

Now, before going further. If you're working with pure gold, go into the PHP file and find where it says 'dual'. Change it to 'single', since you're only working with one value, and not a minimum/maximum. If you're saving donation items or something towards the item you want, keep it at single, since those have a price range.

Next, upload the PHP file, text file, and font file to your host. You have to have a certain level of PHP support or it won't work. To link to the progress bar, put the URL of the PHP file in image tags. If it doesn't work... you don't have the right level of PHP support.

If you use it, it would be a good idea to somewhere give thanks to Rayquazza for creating it.

header("Content-type: image/png")
$width = 202;
$height = 10;
$image = imagecreate($width,$height) // Create the image
imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255) // White background
$logfile = "current.txt"; // Where you store your current gold saved
$mode = "dual"; // Change to $mode = "dual" for the extra stuff


$cur = file_get_contents($logfile) // Get file contents
$numbers = explode(" ",$cur) // Split it by spaces
$min = $numbers[0]
$max = $numbers[1]
$price = $numbers[2]
// Filled some vars
switch($mode)
{
case "dual":
$percentagemax = round(($max * $width) / $price, 1) // Get how big the rectangles will be
$percentagemin = round(($min * $width) / $price, 1)
$border = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0)
// Awesomacolorsa :D
$colormin = imagecolorallocate($image, 97, 167, 226) // Blue
$colormax = imagecolorallocate($image, 162, 203, 238) // Light-Blue
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0,0, $percentagemax, $height, $colormax)
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0,0, $percentagemin, $height, $colormin)
//create the box surrounding the image
imagerectangle($image, 0,0,$width - 1,$height - 1,$border)

$str = round(($min * 100) / $price,0).'% - '. round(($max * 100) / $price,0) .'%';
imagettftext($image, 6.1, 0,2, 8, $border, 'verdana.ttf', $str)
break;
case "single":
$num = ($max + $min) / 2;

$percentage = ($num * $width) / $price;
$border = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0)
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 97, 167, 226)
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0,0, $percentage, $height, $color)
//create the box surrounding the image
imagerectangle($image, 0,0,$width - 1,$height - 1,$border)
imagettftext($image, 6.1, 0,2, 8, $border, 'verdana.ttf', round(($num * 100) / $price,0).'%')

Do you have a guild mule? It would be better for people to donate there.
