Userbar Generator Added

EQii Add comments

My signature generator for EQ2 gets a lot of traffic. Now it seems that “Userbars” are becoming popular for their small size (350×19) and subtle appearance. To keep in step, I’ve added an initial user bar generator. You can use the default background image (of which I may add to the selection, and will certainly accept any PNG submissions as well to add) or reference a background image from another site (see instructions). It will then plug your character name, level, tradeskill level (optional) and server name.

To generate your own Userbar, use the following image links:

http://phatboyg.com/eq2sig/ubar.php?playerId=109225106

Optional parameters:

&template=url
Specify the full URL of an image to use as the background (350×19).

Be sure to change playerId= to point to the ID from the URL on the EQ2Players site.

    Like the added ability to use our own background images, wil this work for the larger sigs as well?

    Not yet. I’m trying to work up an htaccess to allow a new style of URL that should work with all forums. Currently, some forums disallow images that don’t end in JPG/GIF/PNG so I’m working to make it so we have a friendly url with some extra options, such as…

    /option1/option2/option3/109225106.jpg
    (or something like that)

    I’m also working on a form that will allow people to basically select what they want to display and where that will save an XML configuration so that they can use a simple URL and all the configuration is already setup at this site. At that point I’ll open it up to any background image since you’ll have full control of content placement.
