Now you can count your sig views
 

I made a little script that automatically counts its views and resets every month by itself, before outputting the current stats as a GD-generated JPG. It doesn't rely on MySQL, and only one file is needed (it keeps the stats within itself).

Look at my sig to see an example.

Here is the source: http://www.hobbyism.com/friends/sig.php.txt

My server didn't have GD, so a friend of mine let me use Hobbyism.com. In other words, there is no use in hitbotting it if you don't like me.

You may use it if you wish. The simple instructions for how to install it are in the file. Just keep the Repetitive Monkey credit in the file if you consider yourself honest.

:thumbsup

If this is the kind of shit you do for a hobby, maybe you would be perfect for my programming needs...

good work, btw.

I already count my sig views...1 at a time.

Sounds like fun :thumbsup

Lens has 100% control over my sig - so if he wants it in he can put it in for me

Very nice man. I am going to add it to my sig now. Should be good to see how many looks I get.

why not just host the banner on your server and look at the stats? or if you have no banner, put a 1x1 clear gif there?

its a lot simpler imo

Because you aren't displaying it publically and adding some personality to your sig? lol

:)

Because than you can't show off.

This script is cool, maybe I will use it oneday...

Already counting them. I'm up to a bajillion views a day.

Nice work! :thumbsup

Having it rewrite itself every time it's loaded seems like a bad idea... Something screws up and the script gets nuked.

nice tool, thanks

Interesting stuff.

:glugglug

i loaded it here www.lilwyte.net but i can not figure out how to get it to show in sig

i tried img src=url but that doesnt work

any help plz

What is the exact URL? If you installed it right, you should just be able to hotlink it into your sig. Monkey will sort it out for you though either way, he's a pretty decent guy.

Btw, you might of actually img srced the URL it is installed on which ends in php? Image source the image itself. Sounds silly, but I think I accidently did that to start with.

:thumbsup

cool tool! it'll be a lot of help!

sorry about that , the url is www.lilwyte.net/sig.php

what is your exact sig code you are using ?

hehe i got it workin sorry ;)

Actually I was wrong, you do just image source the php.

< img src="http://www.hobbyism.com/friends/odin.php" border="0" align="middle" >

(minus the spaces ofcoures)

My server didn't have the GD shit that it required, so repetitive monkey did it.

- Testing Yours. Works! Just copy what mine is, take out the spaces at the start and end, and change url's.

Exactly... this is second pointlessly complicated script RP has posted today. KISS.

Ok, cool. :thumbsup

lol, it is just there to show people. If I wanted to I could stick a porngraph counter in there or some shit to find out. But it helps add something original to your sig.

Thats some nice stuff, but I wont use it.........and who cares if I use it

it is a pretty neat script if you think about it

for anyone who is into buying / selling sig they can look at that and see how many impressions there sig will get


i have put this sig on three boards i post on


I love views ;)

hmm wonder how much b/w this uses

Yep, exactly.

It doesn't use more bandwidth than normal images, as PHP/GD is completely server-side. The image generated by this script is 3,4 to 3,7kb large as you can see by checking its properties.

Utilization of the GD library takes up some extra server-side system resources, but the GD functions used in this script are few and very simple.

What's so pointlessly complicated about either of the scripts I have posted? Why do you fail to see the use other people see?

Nice script.

Dude .... you could cure cancer, and you will have people running you down here .... Don't take it personal. To survive GFY you need a thick outer skin. :(

I think your script rocks !!!
(I re-wrote it to only occupy one line of sig, but I still gave you kudos ) :thumbsup :thumbsup

Looks cool
I will have to give it a try.

Now you should begin work on sig counter v2.0 ...

We need referring URL stats too !!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA !

Thanks, mate. :)

About expansions, Chris had an idea about also counting the sig clicks. I'll do it right now and post the new sourcecode if you convince me he isn't the only one wanting that feature.

have a good time with that

I have upgraded the looks and functionality of the script, and even given it a name, SigMonkey.

The new source code has been uploaded, so grab it if you want it.

Neat.

I think it is cool.

looks nicer now too

me too

do they have to click the image for it to count ? or anywhere in your sig ?

Any link, as long as you precede the link with http://www.yourdomain.com/sig.php?url=

If the URL after that contains variables (&ref=you for example), you'll have to urlencode it (since the URL is passed through the script which redirects you). So if you want to make clicks to http://www.paysite-galleries.com/?id=XN count in the SigMonkey stats, link to http://www.paysitedesign.com/sig.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paysite-galleries.com%2F%3Fid%3DXN instead.

Here is a script which URLencodes for you: http://speciesanalyst.net/zportal/URLEncode.php

cool stuff :)

nice

Looks like a cool script!

to eroswebmaster: How much around per day? Your sign view?

:thumbsup

It looks like a lot of people are using it. What if you want to track clicks and send traffic to different place on multiple links? Would you need to use the script twice?

And lets see if it works for me:glugglug

I hope it resets on the 29th and not the day you start it.... Or next month it wont count all sigviews. :2 cents:
