Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

I wish there was something more I could do, like making the friends API

You've done a great job with the friends API and also the many suggestions for expanding it!

You can use my first post as a reserved post for random images, just tell me what to post in [code] brackets

Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

Thanks sep but I think I'll just add posts myself as there's going to be more than one new action attribute  tongue

I think I'm going to collapse project links and images into one post and friend links and images into one too.

Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

Now that I think about it, I really don't need a rotasig unless I can come up with ideas...


Any ideas? One is a heap of 'Septimus'es  tongue

Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

Well you could have various online sigs and offline sigs, though the O/O API currently only supports one link for each status....

No, just have the o/o link to the rotation sig and compile it all in a nice, tidy, tinyurl.

TinyURL is a great idea, I'd never heard of it before!

Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

comp500, could you make your generator have an option for both image and link? So I can link to a separate place with the o/o separate images?

Now that you have started working on the text thing, can you work towards my original request?

Can you make the link say what the project is called, instead of "my newest project."

That is exactly what I'm developing the text editor for! I'm trying to get it to look right at first as it will look odd http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?action=text&string=with_the_current_font_and_underscores. Once it's done though, I think all the current API's will have a text feature added, e.g. online message, offline message, newest project name(s) newest friend name(s), random text.

Re: ITopic: self-updating images and links in posts!

Case insensitivity isn't working for me. That's why my sig is broken, and never shows the online one.
I have Scimonster and sci_test, but it searches for scimonster and sci_test.

Well then get it to search for scimonster not Scimonster! I've not finished applying the case insensitivity to it yet  hmm

Now I need to think of some API element that's simple enough for I...

I've got one!

Would random user be helpful?
