LlamaLAN signature image - automatic latest event details!

Post by Golem »

For the crew and the very willing of you who want to advertise LlamaLAN on all those forums you visit, I figured it would be cool to have an image advertising the latest LAN party event in the form of an image. But there's more! This image automatically displays the event number, date, venue and seats remaining! Once you put it into your signature, we need do nothing else. The image will take care of looking at the latest event and using all the right details.

As the seats are taken up, the lit up bars decrease till all are gone.

Don't like the colour? Then change it yourself. If you add "/<RGB Hex Value>.png" to the end of the URL (where '<RGB Hex Value>' is any six character RGB hex value), the image will be colourised. For example, use the URL:

http://www.llamalan.co.uk/images/sig/ll ... 2EFF54.png

and you get

The png extension on the end is a workaround for bulletin boards. It makes it work. :) Use the following signature code to make use of this:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.llamalan.co.uk][img]http://www.llamalan.co.uk/images/sig/llamalansig.png[/img][/url]
Note that using the colourise option takes a little longer to load the image .

So go, advertise.

Superb work, looks great, I'll add it to all of my forum signatures. You might want to check how you derive the numbers though, there are currently 19 seats, not 15, 15 only if you are counting spectators in the number.

Indeed the numbers are off a bit at first glace. I asked Kanonfodda to provide the queries for me and he explained the discrepancy, in that it's to do with what's currently in the system. He can elaborate. :) We'll fix it tomorrow probably.
