Coded Signatures Image zies problem

Post by Enforcer-J »

Hey code gurus,

I get this error when trying to load code signatures such as a steam sig or strava sig

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct.

What do i need to do to get it to work?

img tags will only work with an actual image file ending in gif, jpg or png.
Is it a script generating an image instead?

Same issue here when trying to list my minecraft server in the footer, the code is below:

Code: Select all

[url=http://minecraftservers.org/server/210162][img]http://status.minecraftservers.org/classic/210162.png[/img][/url]
And it should be displaying as this:

Image

Won't work on here for some reason?

If an admin can override the protections could they process it for me? In place of the radio banner currently there.

I suspect it's a script generated image and not an image itself. As such it can't determine the dimensions and so can't display it.

Ok cool, I can probably get around that by writing my own script that will download it hourly and link to that instead :D

It works!!

I can likely fix the forum signature detection method now too if you wanted me to take a look into it? PM me if you like, it is a problem with the user agent mask on the cURL header.

I can also host peoples signatures on the same script generator if you are having the same issues as me, or if you have your own linux web hosting server I can give you the code to DIY

Enforcer-J want me to try this with your signature code?
