Well, people should presumably know what's in it...

What do you think?
It's very nice, but waaay too big
I liked the original height and, besides, you messed up my whole style...

Oh... I'm sorry then. See, this is the thing about SVN, we could just revert.
But now you have to upload yours to overwrite mine. xD
I just modified your style.

Re: Scratch API 2.0
I like the logo bigger, tbh.
So long, 1.4.

I originally made the top bar and logo the same size as the Scratch 2.0 design and I did prefer it like that
Yeah, exactly
Do you guys want me to revert? I do like the new logo style though, so if you could make it smaller...

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Yeah, I reckon that we should keep it small. Remember, this site is mainly designed to provide the API GUI and service, I want to keep anything on the site not to do with that minimalist, out of the way and far from superfluous.

Will you address/add the things brought up in pages 26-28 of the old API thread in API 2.0?
EDIT: On a side note, it would be awesome if you added the block generator to the API. I use that with the current API all the time!
BTW, love the 404 page.

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Yes, but honestly, the main navigation should be more defined and obvious. We still have plenty of room to work with.
When the 2.0 screenshot/proto came out, the fact that the logo and the bar at the top was so small was my only dislike. 
Hai.

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Technoboy: I've tried to compile a list of questions put in the API as you suggest.
Squawkers13 wrote:
I cannot display &num=2!
I have 2 projects up!
The problem with this lies in that persons username. I don't know the cause, but the problem isn't in my API, its in the actual Scratch code and I can do nothing to fix it. We'll have to hope the problem is fixed on the Scratch 2.0 website. (I am currently taking part in discussions about a new verification method we can use so something is being done).

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.
As I said in the thread: "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." So no, I don't think I will be adding this.

Wait, Is it possible to do this for the latest projects in galleries?
I don't see why not! This should be added!

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.)
Yeah, this sounds really cool as an idea, but I have no idea how we would implement it. It would take some work, I think and I'm putting it as a low-priority possible.

hey just wondering: would it be possible to print multiple lines of text with the text renderer?
I definitely want our new API and GUI to support multi-line text one way or another!

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!
Yup, this is exactly what I hope to do with this project.

On the text render-er, it blocks any image that is not a png. Could that be edited so it allows gif, jpeg and bmp[...]
Definitely! This is a bug that needs fixing!
*pant, pant* I think that's everything covered.

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Reverted style changes and set height to 40px
There's something funny happening to the 404 page image.

Re: Scratch API 2.0
I'm going to bed now...
@fg, I suggest you start working on the PHP user system, since that's pretty much what you're supposed to be doing
@sparks, could you finish off the styling please?

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Will our user registration system be related to the Scratch one? What fields would be included in the registration? The same as scratch?
Arrg, Ls reverted all of my changes. XD I did more stuff you know. I added padding, and lots of styling changes...
404 image problem was because you reverted my changes.
How bout this, I change my version to 40 px like sparks said, then I'll upload mine. Then we'll be all updated...
EDIT: Changed to 40px and kept my changes that allowed fluid heights...

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Yeah, that's looking better!
I believe what was decided earlier in the thread was that users would have to use the Scratch auth if they created an account with a username that exists on Scratch to reduce impersonations. Otherwise a user is free to either make a new account or log in with their existing Scratch account. This is simply so that people don't feel forced to give away their password on another site.
You may find this PHP code snippet a wrote handy for the auth:
Code:
if(trim(file_get_contents("http://scratch.mit.edu/api/authenticateuser?username=" . $_POST['username'] . "&password=" . $_POST['password'])) == 'false'){
echo "User doesn't exist or password is incorrect.";
}
else{
echo "User exists and password is correct.";

Also, what's with that copyright bar? The Scratch site code is released under the creative commons licence and isn't copyrighted. We want people to be able to copy it!

Re: Scratch API 2.0
Unless you've already done this... I'm fairly sure that when you hover over a link in the header, the text color should change to orange instead of the background changing to darker blue (according to the wiki's scratch2 skin).
