yea , just delete server on row 2 on -> DBName > "tpl_server" and change ip of row 1 at that table .

You searched the wrong thread.

 

My webpage stats code isn't responsible for controlling the data. XpKiller's plugin is responsible for that.

 

Here is an answer in XpKiller's thread:

In image-banner.php, there is some code which loads in the map image and resizes it. You could use that information as inspiration.

Code:

$map_img = imagecreatefrompng('../images/maps/' . $map . '.png'); 
$resize_map = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 56);
imagecopyresampled($resize_map, $map_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100, 56, 200, 113);

$map_img is the image resource being loaded in. $resize_map is created as an empty placeholder of the correct size for storing into. imagecopyresampled resizes $map_img and copies it into $resize_map.

 

You would have to do something similar to the whole image output towards the end of image-banner.php.

I need to resize Banner , no it's object as ...&width=200&height=50

 

in all functions , i need to image url , but it's a ghost

 

what is wrong ?

list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($base);

$resize_banner = imagecreatetruecolor($widthSize, $heightSize);

imagecopyresampled($resize_banner, $base, 0, 0, 0, 0, $widthSize, $heightSize, $width_orig, $height_orig);

It would probably be easiest to save the image output and then load it back in. For instance, the graph is saved to a folder and then loaded back in.

Here is how the graph image is saved in image-banner.php:

Code:

$myPicture->render("./graph_cache/banner_sid{$sid}.png");

So taking the same approach, towards the end of image-banner.php, change this:

Code:

imagepng($base);
imagedestroy($base);

to this:

Code:

$save = './graph_cache/banner_sid' . $sid . '.png';
imagepng($base, $save);

Then, load that image back in to resize it.

You are missing the date.timezone in your server's php.ini file.

 

It should be in your php.ini file similar to this:

date.timezone = America/New_York

 

If you don't have access to php.ini, ask your server host to do it for you.

There are multiple spots in the file where "imagepng($base); imagedestroy($base);" were located due to different image outputs for different error messages in the event that there was an error to display. You probably were just editing the wrong one.

 

No problem though, because I have implemented the change for you and it is available in the update which I just released.

 

Here is before resize:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2

Code:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2

Here is after resize:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2&w=472&h=80

Code:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2&w=472&h=80

NOTE: You should try to maintain the original aspect ratio between width and height in order to show the best image quality. If you resize the image in a different aspect ratio which causes it to stretch in one direction or the other, the image quality will be affected to a much worse degree.

 

The default size is 560 x 95 pixels which is a width to height aspect ratio of approximately 5.89 : 1.

 

Here is an example of poor image quality caused by not maintaining a similar aspect ratio:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2&h=200

Code:

http://open-web-community.com/bf4stats/player-stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid=2&h=200

Change:

- Added optional query string parameters to resize server banner image output as requested

 

 

Additional information:

See one post previous

 

Please note:

The banner image cache directory changed name from ./common/server-banner/graph?cache/ and became ./common/server-banner/cache/.

Please make sure that you either pull the updated code off of github in its entirety or manually make that new directory if you choose to manually update the files on your server.

I found a php file that to do small it, just,, but yours is very better and nice.

 

And look this for ratio :

Code:

widthMax = 560;
heightMax = 95;
function Resize(image)
{
    if (image.width >= image.height)
    {
      // for don't get larger
      //  if (image.width <= widthMax && image.height <= heightMax)
      //   return image;  // no resizing required
        wRatio = widthMax / image.width;
        hRatio = heightMax/ image.height;
    }
    else
    {
    // for don't get larger
    //    if (image.height <= widthMax && image.width <= heightMax)
    //       return image; // no resizing required
        wRatio = heightMax/ image.width;
        hRatio = widthMax / image.height;
    }

    // hRatio and wRatio now have the scaling factors for height and width.
    // You want the smallest of the two to ensure that the resulting image
    // fits in the desired frame and maintains the aspect ratio.
    resizeRatio = Min(wRatio, hRatio);

    newHeight = image.Height * resizeRatio;
    newWidth = image.Width * resizeRatio;

    // Now call function to resize original image to [newWidth, newHeight]
    // and return the result.
}

...

I could have my code maintain aspect ratio on its own, but I didn't want to box in people's options; just in case they want a funky sized image for some reason.

Ahah!

 

Yup, Gamemode is not defined in the query any more because it is not needed.

 

I will need to remove those useless lines.

Code:

$Mode = $Map_r['Gamemode'];
		// convert mode to friendly name
		if(in_array($Mode,$mode_array))
		{
			$GameMode = array_search($Mode,$mode_array);
		}
		// this mode is missing!
		else
		{
			$GameMode = $Mode;
		}

Feel free to remove those lines in your code if you wish until I get a chance to push an update to GitHub.

The error is caused by ip-api.com providing the wrong country information.

 

You can manually override ip-api.com.

&cc= : (optional) two letter country code designator of server location flag (default: null)

http://serverstats.rsb-clan.de/banner/banner.png_sid=1&cc=DE

Code:

http://serverstats.rsb-clan.de/banner/banner.png_sid=1&cc=DE

By the way, if you update your code to the current version, you will be able to resize the server banner image in your signature so that the bottom doesn't get cut off by this forum.

oh yeah i should read better, ive seen that override code actually, sorry

 

right i should do that, how to update, just overwrite all the files?

Correct. Preferably, delete all the old files and paste the new files in as you did when you first used my code. Overwriting isn't as good because it leaves old/useless/renamed files and folders.

 

and another thing which just came to my mind, can i change the URL which is linked to the server URL from battlelog?

Can you please explain better? Which URL do you want to change where? There are multiple URLs to Battlelog in multiple places. There are also other URLs which don't link to Battlelog which maybe you want to start linking to Battlelog?

i just want to link the banner which is in my signature to battlelog

i know i can change it manually but could that be done by default too?

in my signature i changed it to our homepage instead of the serverstats page

Hmm... Interesting. Then where is the fault? Maybe file_get_contents is disabled on the user's web server and that is causing it to revert to the less accurate method?

 

Code:

// try API
$json = @file_get_contents('http://ip-api.com/json/' . $server_ip);
$data = @json_decode($json,true);
$location = $data['countryCode'];
// if above API failed ...
// use less accurate method by querying database for players with similar IP address as Server's IP address
if($location == '')
{
	// loop through the query removing last character one at a time until a match is found
	// set server location to most similar player's location
	while(@mysqli_num_rows($Location_q) == 0 && strlen($server_ip) > 1)
	{
		// query for server info
		$Location_q = @mysqli_query($BF4stats,"
			SELECT `CountryCode`
			FROM `tbl_playerdata`
			WHERE `IP_Address` LIKE '{$server_ip}%'
			LIMIT 1
		");
		// drop the last character from the server ip for another loop
		$server_ip = substr($server_ip, 0, -1);
		// continuing to do broader and broader search with each pass...
	}
	// set the variable based on results of above query loop
	$Location_r = @mysqli_fetch_assoc($Location_q);
	$location = strtoupper($Location_r['CountryCode']);
	// add those characters back to $server_ip
	$server_ip = $s_explode[0];

That is likely. You should add more error handling to your script.

Wow, very cool.

Yes, probably. But I am torn because the output of that file is an image and I don't know how to output error messages without either breaking the image or showing the ugly error message in every image for the whole world to see.

 

Maybe I could show a little colored box somewhere which indicates that the location method fell back on the inaccurate method without going out and saying it in an ugly way.

I use guzzle in my app and its great.

Update released!

 

Change:

- Added visual indicator of server location uncertainty to server banner image in the case that the server's location is not known and is instead guessed.

 

 

Basically, all it does is overlay a question mark over the flag image to help convey that no result was received from ip-api.com for whatever reason.

 

But, as usual, if you manually specify the desired country code with the &cc=.. URL query string, ip-api.com won't be used, you will see whichever flag you desire, and there will be no question mark over the flag.

running into a small issue

the &cc=de override is working perfectly fine here in the forum

but it isnt working on our homepage for some strange reason

 

as soon as i add the override to the banner on our homepage it wont show the image anymore, instead it only shows the code

i really dont know whats wrong with that and i am not saying its the fault of your statspage but i dont know where i could put this one (homepage linked on the banner in my signature)

Maybe it has something to do with the way the webpage is encoding the link. What is the engine running your webpage? How do you add the link into the webpage?

 

 

If you enable allow_url_fopen in your php.ini file, you shouldn't need "&cc=DE" anymore at all. That's up to you though.

ok i enabled "allow_url_fopen" now and its working

duh why didnt anyone tell me that earlier?

 

i added the banner as standard bbcode since our "news" plugin can use that

our page is powered by ILCH clan script (if thats what you meant by "engine")
