Scratch

Yes, sep, I've added and documented it! Read a few posts up from this one!

It's literally the post below the one you quoted!

My 5 newest friends:

Well links and thumbs work, thanks sep, but it looks like images aren't regulated by the site at all!

Interestingly if you don't set num to anything, it will display your newest friend, rather than taking num as '0' and failing!

Cool, so what's wrong? Can't you just use the _sm.png thing?


I could edit the code more...

API source code wrote:

echo file_get_contents('http://scratch.mit.edu/static/icons/buddy/' . substr($page, $placeholder, $endplaceholder - $placeholder) . '_sm.png');

It already does request the _sm.png 

Don't worry, I'll look into it.

the Scratch team are probably using HTML resizing for the display on the comments and the mystuff page. Something along the lines of <img src='imagelink' width = '40px' height = '40px' />

Aah.

Anyway, good idea approaching:

tinyurl + online/offline API + newest project link + rotasig

Multiple online pics, multiple offline pics

What are all those things?

tinyurl =  shortens urls

hmmm... I have been thinking that the URL's are getting a bit long to fit all the conditions. An option, I though would be to have presets. so for example online/offline square which is usually http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?action=onlineStatus&user=sparks&type=square

could be http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?pre=1&user=sparks

This link should lead to google if I am offline and the Scratch site if I am online....

And it does!

Comp500, of course you will be given credit for the generator, it's very good!

LOL you linked to Google.co.uk, not the regular Google.com. 
You're doing well!

Would you like me to host it on the blocks.scratch domain or would you prefer to host it yourself to make changes?

you can host it, because 1, there arent many good hosts out there and 2. i dont wanna mess around with hosting.

Rotating sig sounds easy and useful! How many different URL's should I allow? 10? (Since I'm doing this, I may as well make it a random URL displayer too!)

@comp, downloading now!

10.

Then if you wanted itn your sig you could use tinyurl.

Sounds good, are the new "friend as image" and "friend as link" supported?
