Links yes, titles not for a while if ever as it's changing text...

Like, from the project page. Find <h2 id="project_title>. 

And how do I do the link?

That's the thing, I may have to ask TheSucessor about that as it's more complicated. Remember that Scratch will only take images this way, not text, though  images of text obviously works.

hopefully My newest project

or linked image:

Sweet! I think you'll get a future in programming no problem

It is a little unfortunate that you can't layer or border images... It's probably possible, I mean, TheSuccessor built http://theblocklibrary.site11.com/inclu … olor=looks. Bordering would probably require something similar but that's out of my depth.

Yeah 

Lol, but if you make the title interesting it will get more views. Maybe... Hmm, how do I make APIs sound exciting...

Yeah, well, you need better names

Yeah, the problem is that plenty of people don't know what API is... self-updating images and links in posts is a little wordy but is perhaps a little more exciting-sounding....

What's API? xD

Anyway...does the random projects feature work yet? And if so, how do I use it in my sig?

Not yet, no. I will be able to get random project images OR random project links to work but because they're random and the API processes the image and the link seperately, you can't have both without the link leading to a different random project to the image :S

if you scroll up a bit you can see linked images though

A challenge for you: Make the link say what the project is called, instead of "my newest project."

Nice thread.

EDIT: Also could you make it be able to do any project? like second newest?

Yes, any project can be shown, you type the number into the url so 1 will by your newest, 10 will be 10th newest etc 

I can't make the API display text on the Scratch fora because Scratch won't take text from external sources, only images!

So have an image with the text that is read from the title. 

It's not that easy...

cool! but can u make the background properly transparent on the text one?

If you like, yes. I'll do that now, it's a good point as quoting will look a little odd.

yeah, nvm anyway idea:

why not use header() in php then it works even better like:

header("image/gif")

Because header() does not accept variables for the URL. Otherwise I would have, it's a lot faster!

It's a little black. I'll try shading it a little lighter! The price of removing the background is, I'm afraid going to be that it does not look exactly like the other text anymore.

OK!
