Sig url problem with siggen for roster v2.0

by **Smegger213** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:43 pm

I have installed the siggen v0.3.1.363 for the latest beta of roster 2 that I have installed on our web site.

The preview of a sig is displayed ok in the siggen settings.

But how do get a sig or avatar in a browser window.

I have put http://www.wediealot.org/roster/addons/ ... megger.png to get a sig but I just get a roster error "The module [addons-siggen-sig] does not exist".

I have checked that the images are being saved into the sig directory and they are.

Is it a diferent method of getting a sig in the new siggen for roster 2.

Help please.

Code: Select all: http://www.wediealot.org/roster/addons/siggen/sig.php/Smegger.png

This was a workaround to get forum software to allow php scripts as images
Notice the .php? You are still accessing the php script to generate the image
Saved images should be in addons/siggen/sig/ or addons/siggen/av/

This method is not compatible for Roster 2.0's new addon framework

There are multiple ways to access SigGen images in 0.3.x and Roster 2.0
Normal Link

Code: Select all: roster/index.php?p=util-siggen-signature&member=Name@RC-Realm

Using Roster's friendly urls

Code: Select all: roster/util/siggen/signature/member=Name@RC-Realm.png

mod_rewrite (more info)

Code: Select all: roster/signature/Name@RC-Realm.png

Thanks a lot zanix.

Those links work.

I can now tell my users how to get their sigs.
