I should think so! Would you like me to give it a go? I have a feeling that it's more or less the same technique.... I can probably get it to echo back your Scratch icon image or an icon of your newest project(s) but I can't see any way of resizing them, I assume you'd want them smaller than they are on your mystuff page?

Hmm... What's your API's code? I could try myself...

Sure thing, here's the current code:

Code:

<?php
$page = ltrim(file_get_contents('http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php'));
$startpos = strrpos ($page, "Online:&nbsp;</strong></dt>");
$endpos = strlen(ltrim(file_get_contents('http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php')));
$refined = substr($page, $startpos, $endpos);
$online = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/online.gif';
$offline = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/offline.gif';
if(isset($_GET['type'])){
    if($_GET['type'] == 'square'){
        $online = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/onlineSquare.gif';
        $offline = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/offlineSquare.gif';
    }
    if($_GET['type'] == 'text'){
        $online = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/onlineText.gif';
        $offline = 'http://blocks.scratchr.org/offlineText.gif';
    }
}
if(!isset($_GET['type'])){
    if(isset($_GET['online'])){
        $online = $_GET['online'];
    }
        if(isset($_GET['offline'])){
        $offline = $_GET['offline'];
    }
}
if(isset($_GET['user'])){
    $pos = strrpos($refined, $_GET['user']);
    if(strlen($pos < '1')){
        echo file_get_contents($offline);
    }
    if(strlen($pos >= '1')){
        echo file_get_contents($online);
    }
}
?>

I originally had it echoing an <img> tag but it wan't working so be sure to use the echo file_get_contents() instead! 

Umm...

You can try making it, never mind.     

BTW, look at my sig                vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Haha, it's php. But surprisingly similar to the Smalltalk way of doing it! What exactly would you like the API to do?

Love it! What's it like when you're offline?

IDK, user pic and newest project.



By the way, the fonts are Andy Bold (Terraria), Minecraft, and Scratch

done that already! Look at the first post of the library thread!

It's pretty cool! The Scratch API lets you read information off the main Scratch site so a forum API that reads information from the fora (and maybe the site) would be cool! The sign looks... yummy! For some reason I feel it would taste really nice! The graphics are waaay better than my sig    I think using two fonts for septimus looks a little odd though...

You were saying about latest projects as images? Is that all you want me to try or do you have other expansion ideas?

Userpic, newest favorite... newest friend?

Yeah, my original use for this was the block library, I think it could be very handy for any thread with a "developers" list on the first post.

Yeah. I'm going to to suggest this get ITopiced.

That's very kind of you, we'll see how useful I can make this though, currently the API is a little limited 

Should be possible, it would have to take you to that page first so the redirect would take a second or so, but the existing "newest project" API should be able to supply the redirect link...

Looks good! I will look into it tomorrow, certainly, it's on the updates list on the main post!

Cool 

How's Panther 1.1 going? It's been a long time... [/Portal2reference]

I got the refrence    and slowly...

Hmmm, no idea! Could you post the images normally here? I'll take a look.

EDIT: if you look at it as a link you can see the error. It looks like it can't find your images.
