This trophy "Keeps Coming Back" makes me feel like I have nothing else to do.
Thanks, is that allowed by the administration?
Edit: well, it's an alpha test forum, so nevermind.
I've pointed out earlier that users can game the system a bit toooooo easy, and Kier mentioned it's on the list of things to look into.
It's an alpha, we're just testing. We are not making money by clicking Like 6 times
A weight of 0.1 per 1000 posts or something.
Nope, mine is closed source Floris has seen it though, think it was dynamic at that point in time.Also, Disjunto, did you ever release the source code for yours? I would really like to see how you do the separators and dynamic scaling stuff.
Dislike. --1 (I could really call you out over this, but I won't.)Nope, mine is closed source
I do pretty much the same as you. I have 3 images, The base/background, the separator and the end (cap in your case). I create a new image from the base, add the first element, pad it a bit, add the separator, repeat. I then create a new transparent image, put the base on, with a gap at the end, and put the cap in that gap. I had to do some ugly code to get the text to extend into the cap on your style, but I no longer have that
I think it would be cool if users had a "like value" stat, and this would then be applied to users receiving the likes. For example, if a user gives out very few likes and has a lot of posts (in other words, he's been a long-time member but doesn't give out likes that often), his likes would be very valuable, perhaps worth up to 3 likes (this is based on the assumption that this user's standard is very high, and thus a like from him has a lot of value). On the other hand, if a user gives out a lot of likes but doesn't have that many posts (they give out lots of likes but haven't been a member that long), then his likes would be worth much less in value, perhaps only .25 likes. This would lead to odd numbers, like "you have 54.75 likes", but it would essentially prevent people from gaming the system and introduce a very cool dynamic that makes you think about how you give out likes as well as receive them.
(Is this worthy of a new suggestion thread? )
Not sure people like their likes being of a different value of other peoples likes.
If you're trying to program one from scratch (which is what I'm inferring from your posts), try taking a look at the source code for my script (posted in the thread), and then look online for some basic GD tutorials.
Honestly, the best GD reference is the PHP manual itself:

It needs more cowbell.
A few people are hosting the signature script created by Eriksrocks
I'm hosting the script created by me.
Yeah, I believed the 'likes' variable name changed, so it's not fetching the data properly. Ceri May fixed it on his hosted version, but I've been too lazy to find the fix for it because I don't use it anymore. You can either fix it yourself, or use Ceri May's hosted version at www.xenaddicts.com.Hm, for some reasons my likes aren't showing anymore. That's just mean.
