Custom JFF Signatures!

[Trekkan]

If you'd like a custom signature (like the one you see in my sig with post counts, likes, etc), you can create your own, it's pretty easy.

Short version

Use this URL: http://www.jffgaming.com/forum/sig/?userid=1&color=blue&elements=posts,likes,trophies&showName=true

and change the userID to your userID (this is your user number, not name). To find out your usernumber, mouse over your avatar. Your user number is displayed in the URL.

Once you have that, edit your signature and click the "Insert image" button and insert that URL. You're all done!

Long Version

If you'd like to customize it, you have these options. Edit the URL as ncessary.

userid = your userID
color = The color of the background element and text (such as: red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange, gray)
fontface = The font of the text. Times is actually Times New Roman. (Ex: georgia, arial, tahoma, trebuchetms, times)
bg_color1 = Starting color for background gradient (Hex Value, Ex: FFFFFF is white)
bg_color2 = Starting color for background gradient (Hex Value, Ex: 000000 is black)
border_color =The color of the border around the background element (Hex Value, Ex: 000000 is black)
text_color = The color of the text (Hex Value, Ex: FFFFFF is white)
shadow_color = The color of the text shadow (Hex Value, Ex: FFFFFF is white)
shadow_x = The x-offset for the text-shadow (Ex. 1)
shadow_y = The y-offset for the text-shadow (Ex. 1)
elements = Pick elements to show in the badge. You may mix and match, at least one (1) is required (Ex. posts, trophies, likes)
showName = If true, will show the Username and a dotted line seperator to the right (Ex. true)

Ok, updated the instructions on the top. A little messy, but until I figure out a better way to find your usernumber, that'll have to work.

Ok, gurus, what am I doing wrong that I can't get custom colors to work in my sig? I'm sure I'm missing something in translation (Syntax) but darn it it's driving me nuts.

Needs the pound sign (#) before each number.

If you aren't using HEX then you don't need the # signs. Although even then a lot of things let you get away without using the # character, it's always a good idea to always include it anyway.

Ohh actually the problem is you're using commas where you should be using ampersands, here ya go.

Tried it with teh # also have tried it with comma and ampersand seperators and can't get it to work. The good news is if you fudge it up it defaults to what it currently shows as (blue).

Very weird, no idea then really, I'd just keep poking at it as you have been. heh

Got it. I went over to http://xenforo.com/ and found a signature generator. I made one using it (http://xenaddicts.com/sig/generator.php) then I changed the url in the generated URL to the right one for this site. Now to play with the colors.

PLEASE play with the colors. I feel like I'm trying to read without my glasses on.
