Tip: Adding Sticker to Forum Signature with Hyperlink

Hi All,

Wanted to pass on a small tip. For those of you that have added your template Sticker to your forum signature, it is possible to turn the graphic into a hyperlink. You can see this in action if you click on my sticker it will link you to my page. What you need to do is format the signature like this:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.cecilweather.com][img]http://www.cecilweather.com/weather/cecil/plugins/stickers/stickerInteractive.php?text=Cecil%20County%20Weather%20-%20Elkton,%20Maryland,%20USA&image=01&border=2&type=interactive&dualUnits=1[/img][/url]
The key is to add the [url=http://{your site}] before the [img] and at the end of the signature string to add [/url].

Hope this is helpful to someone :lol:

Jay

In case you want to try more tags, look up BBCode, this is what the forum uses ;)

Thank you soooo much Jachym.
Now it is much easier for me to understand how to work with the tags :-)
I was already using the sticker hyperlink since the early days of the forum (thanks Kocher for teaching me!), but I also have to thank MonyMony for publishing this very usefull tip in the forum. Thanks.

Thank you, it works fine.

Is it possible to translate the text in another language?

Jachym is the right person to answer that question, but I tried to do it and could not find any other solution than replacing all the ocurrences of the word "today" by the portuguese word "hoje" in stickerInteractive.php, like in this code example:

Code: Select all

Line 579: textCenter($png_image,($width/6 * 2)+$widthShift, $recordsTopHeight1, ("Hoje"), 3, 8, $mainColor, 0);

Hi,
yes, correct, in the interactiveSticker.php you can replace the abbreviations with your own text
