By the way, I changed the background for demonstration purposes. I changed a few things to make any background more likely to look ok. Before, the backgrounds had to be specifically shaded and edited to work. Now, just about any background will work ok. I just randomly picked the current demo background image due to its colors and less depressing season.

Doesn't that get overwritten on update?

Every file you overwrite gets overwritten, yes. Config.php technically gets overwritten as well if you choose to overwrite it.

 

This is where the background image is specified in stats.css:

https://github.com/tyger07/BF4-Serve...mmon/stats.css

Line 49

Code:

background-image: url("./images/BF4back.jpg");

Specifying the background image in config.php would compromise the usefulness and comprehensibility of stats.css. If the background image were specified in config.php, stats.css could no longer be a standard cascading stylesheet which everyone already understands. Why? Because stats.css would need additional custom parsing using php to inject the value of the background from config.php into stats.css. I think that there is a lot of customization available in stats.css which many people can appreciate. I am a poor designer and therefore you get what you see. But I think that there are some people out there who could really run with it and make something awesome and I think leaving stats.css as a standard cascading stylesheet is very important for those people.

 

 

If you don't mind me asking, why do you continue to use gametracker server banner images in your signature? I thought I incorporated that into the stats page code per your request. Is there something I need to improve?

I asked since Code:

$banner_image	= './common/images/bf4-logo.png';

already was in the config file, so why not the background.

 

I still use GM, since i cannot get the norwegian flag in the sig with the image resizer, but that's another case isn't it?

$banner_image is a variable parsed directly in index.php. $banner_image has no dependency on the stylesheet because it is simply an entity inside an HTML tag. The background on the other hand is not an HTML entity as it belongs to the stylesheet and is not ever parsed directly by php. stats.css would have to become stats.php and have other php attributes which would alienate the designer types.

Oh. Query strings won't work with your image resizer? "_sid=2" wouldn't work either, huh? So, not only would the flag not work, but it wouldn't work in the first place.

 

As I said earlier, your banner resizer already uses a query string. This means that the query string in the image URL would need to be urlencoded in php to appear as a string instead of a query string. You can't have two different query strings in the same URL and that is why the second one needs to be encoded to not appear as a query string.

 

For example, this could be fed into your image resizer:

http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/serve...age-banner.png?sid%3D1%26cc%3DNO

 

The whole URL would be this:

Code:

http://www.nbfc.no/gtimg/gtimg.php_q=100&h=62&src=http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid%3D1%26cc%3DNO

Then, your gtimg.php image resizer would need to do a php urldecode of variable "src" in order to retrieve its real value. Then call the urldecoded img in the gtimg.php image resizer's output.

 

Code:

$img = urldecode($_GET['src']);
echo '<img src="' . $img . '" ....

Thus, your gtimg.php file behaves as normal for everything which you already use it for, but would also behave properly for this code. It would not need to pass any $_GET[] variables or anything because it would never directly handle the variables in the first place.

 

$img becomes http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/serve...age-banner.png?sid=1&cc=NO instead of http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/serve...age-banner.png?sid%3D1%26cc%3DNO.

Works just fine: ./gtimg.php_q=100&h=62&src=http:%252F%252Fbf4stats.nbfc.no%252Fcommon%252Fserver-banner%252Fimage-banner.png_sid=1

 

But when i add the &cc=no, it makes no difference: ./gtimg.php_q=100&h=62&src=http:%252F%252Fbf4stats.nbfc.no%252Fcommon%252Fserver-banner%252Fimage-banner.png_sid=1&cc=no

 

But why do you bring that up when i ask for something else?

 

Edit: Thanks for jumping to conclusions...

Ok, cool. But, may I point something out? If you reverse sid and cc in the url, then it says sid must be provided (even though it is provided).

Example:

http://www.nbfc.no/gtimg/gtimg.php_q...ng_cc=NO&sid=1

 

In other words, it is URL query string issue not a variable name issue. Please see my edit to the previous post or my edit below if you need more insight into what I think will correct this issue.

 

I don't mean to offend you if I am stating something which is obvious which you already know. I am just trying to help in case it is helpful. If it is not helpfull, feel free to disregard.

 

But why do you bring that up when i ask for something else?

The reason why I am asking about the server banner image now is because I have been wondering for many months. I didn't see you active here earlier and that is why I have not asked earlier. Now that I see you active in this thread, it was finally a good time for me to ask. I am sorry if it offended you or confused you.

 

BTW, I did answer you:

$banner_image is a variable parsed directly in index.php. $banner_image has no dependency on the stylesheet because it is simply an entity inside an HTML tag. The background on the other hand is not an HTML entity as it belongs to the stylesheet and is not ever parsed directly by php. stats.css would have to become stats.php and have other php attributes which would alienate the designer types.

Edit: Thanks for jumping to conclusions...

I have made an assumption. Sorry that it was the wrong assumption. I assumed that if the variable cc is not being properly passed, then the variable sid should likewise be improperly passed. I don't know the inner workings of your code so it is hard for me to correctly come to different conclusions. I didn't know that my conclusion was offensive.

 

 

EDIT: the meat of it all for solving the banner image issue:

 

Two different query strings in the same URL can lead to many strange problems. A URL query string should never contain a second query string inside itself. The second query string should be url encoded to appear as a standard string.

 

I believe that you only need to make one small change to gtimg.php (in bold below) for this to work the way you want it. And it should not cause your code to stop working in any other application.

$img = urldecode($_GET['src']);

echo '

Then, you can put the encoded string:

Code:

http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid%3D1%26cc%3DNO

as src in:

Code:

http://www.nbfc.no/gtimg/gtimg.php_q=100&h=62&src=

and expect the proper output.

 

This is the full URL you would use:

Code:

http://www.nbfc.no/gtimg/gtimg.php_q=100&h=62&src=http://nbfc.no/bf4stats/common/server-banner/image-banner.png_sid%3D1%26cc%3DNO

I would love for it to work and I hope you will take this into consideration. Basically, all it does is passes on the query string without ever directly touching the query string.

If you can't get the .htaccess file to work, you will need to change the code so that it won't be required. You would need to delete the .htaccess files from the ./maps directory, the ./server-banner directory, the ./server directory, and the ./signature directory. Then, you would need to change the references to the image files. For instance in ./maps/maps.php it says php'.

 

Do you understand? The php files which create the image end with .php extension, but I am calling on them using a .png name and the .htaccess file redirects the .png request to the correct .php file. They need to be .php files to work, but I was calling them by the fake .png name for image embedding compatibility reasons. If you get rid of the non-functioning .htaccess files, you will need to refer to those file names by their true names.

Yep only trouble is

 

Code:

http://stats.battlebornegaming.net/common/maps/maps-played.php_sid=2

Doesn't work either......

Honestly, I am at a complete loss. I have no idea why it's not working for you. I see that it does try to create a png image with a png header, but its all garbled and corrupted.

 

error.png

 

Umm...

 

Maybe try $myPicture->stroke(); on line 89 of maps-played.php instead of $myPicture->stroke($BrowserExpire=TRUE);. ? Perhaps modifying the header is somehow causing your web server to corrupt the image.

I must have my apache all messed up with .htaccess stuff ( thats what happens when you do it yourself Eh )

 

Other .htaccess work like redirects and ip blocks etc so i don't know why the ones inside the folders don't work...

 

I have multiple websites under virtual hosts, maybe a higher tiered .htaccess is blocking the other ones from redirecting.....

 

Still need that donate link

It is because the image is now in a new location. The BF4 banner image is now in

'./common/images/bf4-logo.png'. Change that in config.php and it should be back to normal.

Apparently, in the text above, I was yelling at TMiland and insulting his intelligence. I don't know how plain text is turned into a shouted barrage of insults, but apparently that is how my text was interpreted.

 

Sorry TMiland that you somehow interpreted my text in a negative way. I am sorry that you will no longer want to talk to me, that you will no longer contribute to this thread, and that you will not update your stats code out of spite. Somehow I am a monster for trying to help you utilize something you requested months ago.

 

EDIT: At first I felt bad as if I had done something wrong. But then I read it again and still don't understand why you are so upset. I mean, you reqiested this feature months ago and I implemented it months ago. And then months ago, you complained that it wasn't working, and then ignored my response when I answered. I guess it's not my business to bring up an old discussion. So whatever. I tried to help you again and remind you again that a query string can't be inside of a query string -- just like I said months ago -- and somehow I am a monster for caring.

 

I guess I should just tell people to create their own enhancements when they request features and tell them to figure out the problem on their own when they have a problem.

Thanks for taking this out of context, but this:

You will have to explain. I don't see how that is in any way insulting. I was pointing out how useless my implentation was. How does my poor code insult you? You must have thought I was implying something never implied.

It only updates the top 20 players every 6 hours. When your database grows, the scores will get so big and people will change order within the top 20 so rarely that you won't even notice. Right now, because the database is small, it's easy for you to notice.

I guess we don't speak the same language, because to me that sounded like i was stupid for not understanding that the query string would not work with the image resizer, and that you where talking down to me for requesting something i already knew wouldn't work in the first place.

Hey Ty_ger,

 

My server stats are being reset every month. This because every month the top 10 gets VIP access to the server.

Therfore the stats should update more frequenly.

Is it possible to change this?

Okay man, let's forget about this misunderstanding and move on, sorry for any inconvenience.

 

If for some reason, anyone should have issues with .htaccess, they will have to be fine with query strings, but for others (me) it should be fine.

AllowOverride is something they have to set. You can't change that with your .htaccess file. That command setting is what allows the webserver to read those files.

 

This may or may not help you. You could send in a ticket to try and get your .htaccess to work with your site.
