Alright, I will have a go at getting the project name first!

Alright. So the custom online/offline text does not seem to be working....

are you still stuck on converting '_' to ' ' ?

I'll work on that for you if you want.

Yup. Here's what I tried:

$string = $_GET['string'];
$parser = '';
while ($count < strlen($_GET['string'])){
    if(substr($string, $count, 1) == '_'){
        $parser = $parser . ' ';
    }
    else{
        $parser = $parser . (substr($string, $count, 1));
    }
    $count ++;
}

However, Scratch itself does not like spaces in img tags so you still have to type in the underscores

I'm glad I got the cogs working 

Well don't worry, I didn't know about the strrpos. Php is a wonderous language full of many different functions, you're only going to find out how and what they are by reading things or people telling you.

my newest project is called . Click the name to go there!

take 1: :Hallelujah:hey%2
take 2: Hallelujah:
take 3: Hallelujah

testing with different name:

(my second newest project)

YES! It works!

[img]http://blocks.scratchr.org/API.php?user=USERNAME&action=projects&type=newest&return=text&num=NUMBER[/img]

here's the new code snippet, also viewable in the second post:

if($_GET['return'] == 'text'){
                $project = substr($page, $placeholder, $endplaceholder - $placeholder);
                $page = ltrim(file_get_contents('http://scratch.mit.edu/api/getprojectinfobyid/' . $project));
                $text = strpos($page, ':', 1);
                $text ++;
                $text = substr($page, $text, strpos($page, ':', $text + 1) - 7);
                $text = str_replace("%20","_",$text);
                echo file_get_contents('http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/textrender.php?string=' . $text);
            }

Oh, note, there may be problems with projects with a : in the name...

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?

?

IDEA!
If the project hasn't got many views, it is shown!

ANOTHER IDEA!
Adverts! What we need is a thing like this:

My generator requests ?action=returnAdSpotCode
Then it puts the code into the url so it looks like this: ?adSpotCode=AA000&action=returnAdImg
Which returns an image for the ad,
then the link for the ad is ?adSpotCode=AA000&action=returnAdLink
so when the user goes to ?adSpotCode=AA000&action=returnAdLink (clicks on the ad) it will take them to the page for the ad.

Because there is a code for the ad spot, the api will know which ad page to direct the user to
