| @saka, I don't know, why this script not running correctly on my server. I downloaded the package, I uploaded it to my server, I set chmod to 777 for the cache directory, I changed username and disabled check_cache(10), but when I open sig.php then I see only background - without text. My server details: linux, php 5.3.28 (but if I want, I can upgrade to 5.4.23) this is link for my sig.php : http://mal.isvn.pl/liveSig/sig.php Any ideas? |

| It's being blocked by Incapsula most likely, which is MAL's instrusion detection. I've been testing a fix after requesting a whitelist from Crave, and I'll post a patch today or tomorrow. |
 I am a banana. |
| Any progress??? :( |
| Oh, so it's not my fault and my server? :) Well then, I'll wait for patch. |

| Patched it, tested, worked, stopped working, worked, stopped working, worked. I'll keep yelling at Crave. |

| @saka, so still not work? :( Hmm... Maybe... Where I find signature script only for MAL Updater? |

| MAL keeps auto bannign me when I post this msg, so gotta post the outputs in pastebin: Took another wack at it with java instead, got a little further. If you make it think you are a web browser and actually get through, it will give you a page with only a small javascript redirection script..encrypted of course. Think this might be the last hurdle and then the honey pot might be available. luckily java can now parse javascript syntax.. http://pastebin.com/0eudt43v which converts to: http://pastebin.com/3sm9tHMP Yay for Java, anyone else can take the second wack, Apo's taking a break |
| I actually had tried using the header for Chrome, with my whitelisted user agent, and it did work for a while. I tried eliminating tags until it didn't work again, then it stopped working even with the complete header so I got frustrated and got the urge to write hate mail on crave's facebook page. I don't think it's right that I should have to pretend I'm a web browser, and the code looks messy as well. Even when I do that though it doesn't seem to work all the time. |

In MAL Updater we have plugin "PHP Signature" that sends data by $_GET and must give a link to sig.php. Btw. @saka, still not work? My link: http://mal.isvn.pl/liveSig/sig.php :( |

| Well Apo changed to read the manual animelist.xml file.... but it still doesn't retrieve the anime thumbnail for my sig ;.; Edit1: Well apo adds image manuelly for now them....now...off to mass bulk download all the anime thumbnails for cache Edit2: Well seeing as it is impossible to completely automate signature due to AreYouHuman checks, PHP seems improbable. My question to everyone is this: Would you use a lightweight application to generate a dynamic signature for you? (You may be required to input a CAPCHA every/other use) Edit3: Went ahead and started making it, so far CAPCHAs have never popped up for me and it retrieved anime thumbnails by id and the animeList.xml without fail or interaction. Next step is making the image processing, it will probably be handled with javascript for simplicity..... You know... Apo just might make a whole program out of this to allow designing a signature on a canvas in realtime to save a script to process. Mod edit: merged quadruple post |

| @Apocist, your signature works correctly? What script do you use? |

IdolwSzutrab7 said: @Apocist, your signature works correctly? What script do you use? The signature you see is working correctly because I manuelly downloaded my history list and the anime thumbnail for saka's script to use(and modified the script a tad). Apo found another way to retrieve these items though, one which won't require a user to have their server process the script, but instead process the script right from their computer and possibly upload to the server. Right now Apo is just making a engine to create the said signature |

| To anyone who doesn't know a PHP (and those who are too lazy to code it :P), I've created a minor, slightly working fix myself. http://pastebin.com/mbvb3Yav (what needs to be changed is pretty self explanatory) Note: it doesn't help with the connection to MAL, and from time to time, I saw that it still fails to download your history data. What I did with it is creating a cache for the updates as well, so if the download fails, it will load up the updates' cache. FAQ: A: I get an array_multisort warning. Q: I'm not sure what happened in the meantime, but the history's xml might've changed a bit (haven't checked it back in the time), so now, saka's code which puts the stats into those arrays (ids, timematches, etc.) is not putting the types in the $types array, and the ids in the $ids array. A quick way to fix this is by commenting (putting a double slash: //) the lines: $types = $linkmatches[1]; $ids = $linkmatches[2]; array_multisort($timestamps,SORT_DESC,$titles,$status,$current,$totals,$units,$subtypes); Yes, I'm too lazy to fix it myself, so I just cut what was wrong with it :P Q: I get lots of Index not found errors when loading the script for the first time. A: That means that the download of your uploads has failed, and because it's the first we loaded the script, there won't be any updates cache either. I've put a recursive call, which/should will be called every 10 seconds while the caches are empty, but I'm not sure how well it works. I recommend refreshing the script until you get it :P Well, if someone's got a problem, PM me and let's try to fix it together! And just saying, not sure how well the 'fast' fix will work for everyone, but it works in my current sig, so yeah. |

| private paste is private I'd be interested to see where you got with it. I also got it working unreliably. |

saka said: Woops, fixed that.private paste is private saka said: I simply added another if to the download method. If the curl and file_get_contents failed, it will try loading up the updates cache files (which after you managed to download them for the first time, they'll be there). I made them independent from one another, so if downloading fails only for one of them, it will still update the other one. It makes regenerating the sig a bit slower, but it works fine I think.I'd be interested to see where you got with it. I also got it working unreliably. It can be optimized, but I'm too lazy to think of something for the moment. LE: It looks like my signature broke yesterday, and I think I found the culprit as well. It looks like crave worked on the rss feeds, which in turn break the $statusmatches array. This is how the downloaded rss feed looks like now: http://puu.sh/bPHbs/1ea81428b0 I'm not sure if they've been there before, but I see the <link> <guid> The quick and dirty fix to it is changing the method which matches the $statusmatches: |
koleareSep 30, 2014 12:37 PM
| I suppose that makes it a bit more robust. Alternatively you can just link to the cache image and then update the script regularly using cron or a program like taiga/malu. Sometimes it will fail to update, but it will at least always display an image. Thing is, incapsula blocks it most of the time. Really it's broken until they make it work -- even when it's whitelisted it doesn't work. |

| Hi ppl! So, I noticed that the signature updates are kinda working again, but it seems that the "status" part it's not (that upper bar on my sig should have the anime/manga status and stuff) I don't really know anything about PHP and coding... So I dropped by to see if any of you guys have any idea on how to make this work. Thanks ~ |

| They (correctly) added CDATA markup around the status field in the recently watched RSS feeds. I've updated the script to reflect that and I'm glad they are allowing feed downloads again. You can redownload the script from the first page, or simply replace line 57 that parses the status lines with this: preg_match_all("/<description><\!\[CDATA\[([^\]]*) - ([\d?]+) of ([\d?]+) ([^\]]*)\]\]><\/description>/", $buffer, $statusmatches); |

I couldn't seem to find a good one to use as a base until I found yours here. I've been fiddling with your (admittedly a bit old now) script and I can't get the text to show up. I can't seem to find where the problem lies. The RSS links still work, so that's not it. Is there any chance you might update the script so it works again? Or at least give me a pointer as to where the problem might lie? I have a very basic understanding of PHP. My WIP signature can be found here. Let me know! |
 |
| I'll take a look. Mine stopped displaying updates too so I need to figure out what's up. I've just been lazy as usual. :-P |

Onyxthegreat said: Let me know! Well that was an easy fix. Apparently when MAL switched to using https instead of just http they made a redirect page to let people know to use the secure url. My old simple script doesn't have logic to parse http error codes so it just tried to look for titles in the redirect page. tl;dr in the myanimelist anime and manga rss urls near the top of the script change http to https in both lines. I'll update the first post. Thanks. |

Looks like the info is correctly being displayed now. I'm gonna fiddle some more with it to make it look good. Thanks again! |

I'm gonna fiddle some more with it to make it look good. Thanks again! I also changed the file names so the script is "index.php" inside a folder confusingly called "signature.png" because this gets around the security checks the forum uses now. I helped a few people change that but I forgot to actually describe it or change it in the download. Where do I point my signature? The full address to your signature script once you upload it will be something like: http://yourdomain/path/to/your/signature.png/index.php ...and that address will output your signature image directly (updating in real time if the cache time hasn't passed). The folder is confusingly named "signature.png" to satisfy security checks that the MAL forum uses to make certain attacks more difficult. To avoid incurring the wrath of the security gods, just leave the "/index.php" off the end of the address, giving you forum bbcode that looks like: [img]http://yourdomain/path/to/your/signature.png[/img] Alternatively, you can link to the saved image, for example... [img]http://yourdomain/path/to/your/signature.png/cache/sig.png[/img] ... |

Thanks. I'll change the folder and script name when I'm done! Meanwhile I am trying to achieve this design. See the $current/$totals in the middle there? I can't get it to work. I only get the first one (current). See the live sig here. I've tried putting the following in the text draw: imagettftextalign($sigimage,41,0,12,74,$color,$font2,$current[0],$totals[0],'l'); This doesn't seem to be correct. Should I be editing the $status array instead to achieve what I want? Thanks! |
OnyxthegreatOct 3, 2017 1:07 PM

| put "{$current[0]}/{$totals[0]}" as the string you want to print, instead of adding another argument which will probably do things you don't expect. |

| Ah yes, the quotes. Thanks. edit: Aaand the sig is done. Thanks for the help saka. |

| Someone asked me if animated gifs were possible with this, and while I vaguely remember saka trying his hands on this many a years back, the current script certainly doesn't allow it, so I made a few modifications. src code here, in case someone else wants it: https://gitlab.com/WoodenDoors/MAL-signature-generator also includes a bit of refactoring for slightly more OOP, psr-4, composer and yeah: animated gifs (takes roughly 2s to regenerate on my vps though...). Won't run nearly anywhere like the original though. You've been warned. very early prototype/proof of concept: |
