... good question. Let me take a look at the code a sec..

EDIT: Yes. The target parameter is applicable to all API calls of the action=onlineStatus type smile

Okay, we how about you make some images with text in them, all the ones you want to be in the sig, then post the links to them all here and I will make the random API work for you
Here you go... all the images, in very good and working (I tested them) links.

Just give me the straight-up code.
www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?action= … om/88rht6t
Code:
www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?action=random&return=image&link1=http://tinyurl.com/7ycyryb&link2=http://tinyurl.com/88f4fqg&link3=http://tinyurl.com/83prjec&link4=http://tinyurl.com/7t7nxrv&link5=http://tinyurl.com/844dvxx&link6=http://tinyurl.com/88rht6t
Put that inside img tags. I have no idea how well it will work with animated images, I've never tried

EDIT: No. I'm afraid it doesn't seem to work with animations, I'm sorry

I got it, nvm!! Look at the siggy!! Random abandon thread anis!!! Although, I would like to make the code smaller. The API that I put in is reeeeally long, so I would like more room for words.

Well done! Very cool!

And you can tinyurl it to make it smaller! Try this link: http://tinyurl.com/7m32p3u

I see nothing wrong. It must be back up. What HTML would you like explained?

SPARKS PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

My second-newest project, :

Seems to work fine.

I'm afraid why your name is having trouble with the API is beyond me, it has nothing to do with my code but may be to do with the coding on the Scratch-end of the site.

what happens if you put "...&num=(a number more than the number of projects you have)" ?

Nothing is stopping you from trying, joefarebrother!

My 10,000th-newest project, :

technoboy10 · 2012-03-17 15:54:25

Is there any way to have certain dates have certain images? Such as 3/14 with an image of Pi, 3/17 with a shamrock, etc.

Using PHP this is certainly possible, but considering the once-a-year occurance of a date, I'm pretty sure it's easier to update your sig yourself on that day tongue

Splodgey · 2012-03-26 08:57:03

Wait, Is it possible to do this for the latest projects in galleries?

Ok, thanks. BTW, how do you do PHP in your sig?
EDIT: Clarification: How would you do that code and make it into an image link? (Sorry, don't know much about PHP tongue )

LiquidMetal · 2012-03-28 23:44:39

Hey sparks! I was wondering if it would be possible to get a different picture (eg; with a "NEW!" badge) if a project is less then X weeks old? (for my signature.)

sparks · 2012-03-29 15:33:38

Hmm... yes, it should be. I could pull the date from the project. I think it would probably have one of these two formats:

d=0&w=2&m=0&y=0

or

age=00,02,00,00

I think the second one looks neater, what do you guys think?

I think I would have it so that if the age of the project is greater than your input it would return one link/image/text, another if it is equal to that (optional) and another if it is less than that.

I won't be able to start work on any of the suggested API updates until next month though, I have one piece of coursework left!

joefarebrother · 2012-03-30 09:50:12

hey just wondering: would it be possible to print multiple lines of text with the text renderer?

sparks · 2012-03-30 13:32:14

I suppose so, yes, but the current one can't I may have to redo it to support multiline at some point.

LiquidMetal · 2012-03-31 23:26:50

Hi sparks,
I just updated my signature, and while I was playing around with it, I noticed it can be slow to load, and does not load all at once. I was wondering if you could make a single call script to get an image that links directly to the project. You would put all the images in one call to the api, and there would be less overhead. I'll explain more in depth if you need it.

Thanks!

Hey! I like the new sig!

I understand that loading time would be much reduced, but it may lower the level of customisation available. I suppose it could be done in one image using a really long url like

http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?type=myProjects&display=nlfd&number=1&lovesImage=anImageUrl&favesImage=urlToImage&downloadsImage=urlToImage&background=urlToImage

or something. (nlfd would tell it to display name, loves, faves and downloads in that order)my main worry with this is that it would still be accessing image urls for all the parts of the sig, which would slow down the loading of the one image so that whole sig would take longer to load...
