Major update!
On 2009/04/06

Been working my ass off for you guys.

After only displaying a very early development build to a close group of friends, I've decided to go out with the early alpha roll-out of the rechristened Image Randomizer Script so everyone can take a look at it and say what you like and don't like, what could be improved and what could be removed. Most of the heavy work has been done behind the curtains, so you wouldn't really notice; but the administration interface has taken a MAJOR overhaul to make it easier to manage everything.

Here are the links for your testing pleasure:
Random image link: http://www.nanatsuyoru.co.cc/avatars/v3.0/index.php/image.png
Random image counter link: http://www.nanatsuyoru.co.cc/avatars/v3.0/info/index.php/image.png
Gallery link: http://www.nanatsuyoru.co.cc/avatars/v3.0/gallery
And the new administration interface: http://www.nanatsuyoru.co.cc/avatars/v3.0/info/login.php

The login page for the new web admin interface is already filled with the default login data so you can go inside immediately and start fooling around.

Lemme know what you guys think; I probably won't be releasing this version to the public until I have at least the configuration editor sorted out, but it's nice to have feedback about what feels right and what doesn't at this point in time.

[spoiler=Original Post]Well, look no further. I have finally found a free hosting provider for those of you that don't have your own, so you can host your own collection of randomly rotating avatars, like the one I'm sporting.

Thus, inspiration drove me to write a complete tutorial on even the most minimal things of getting, configuring, setting up, and using my Random Avatar Script of Doom™.

Beware though, as it's a bit of a lengthy read, for it covers every single aspect of the script, including, but not limited to, configuration, signing up for and setting up an account at the hosting provider, and testing each and every function of the script, among other things.

Enjoy, and drop any comments, feedback, questions, complaints, cheese, wine, boobs and beamsabers here.

But wait, DZ. Do you really think these people are ready for the glory of Random Avatars? I mean, can they see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

TL;DR

Just kidding.

Whoops, my bad -- reuploaded now. Apparently the upload got broken by a router reset.

It's fixed now.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Huzzah! =D At last, I can have an image rotation service that doesn't display red X's!

Flame · **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2008, 01:32:30 AM

im having trouble with the signature. in your tut, you said to add /info/ right? done, yet the userbar doesnt show up.

Shiki Tohno · **Reply #11 on:** December 07, 2008, 01:48:23 AM

What's the complete link to the /info/ folder in your account?

you mean,
http://www.flame.byethost17.com/info/
?

VixyNyan · **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2008, 02:38:10 AM

You aren't even looking at my post.

Add index.php to your link.

http://flame-g102.110mb.com/info/index.php

Place it in a IMG tag.

EDIT: You seem to miss something...

http://flame.byethost17.com/

The avatar is showing...

Did you make a signature userbar to begin with? And did you put it in the folder called info?

Flame · **Reply #15 on:** December 07, 2008, 03:10:22 AM

thats still not the problem. in the tut, when it gives what to type to see the userbar, I do it, yet it doesnt show up.

also, yes I did both.

VixyNyan · **Reply #16 on:** December 07, 2008, 03:12:08 AM

Ah, the gallery is working tho...

Flame · **Reply #17 on:** December 07, 2008, 03:14:02 AM

it is, but if if /info draws up a blank, then I cant go to the login screen either. ive tried.

also,

;_;

Shiki Tohno · **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2008, 03:24:24 AM

It might have something to do with file and folder permissions. Did you do absolutely EVERYTHING as demonstrated in my tutorial? If you don't hand out the proper access permissions for the /info/ folder, it might become invisible to visitors.

Flame · **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2008, 03:28:54 AM

yeah. I did.

EDIT: hmmm tried adding signature.png after the info/
it says

The image http://www.flame.byethost17.com/info/signature.png cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
ok, so fo some reason, there were 3 files missing for the info folder on the host. weird. thats done with, and I can log in. yet I still dont see my userbar.

Shiki Tohno · **Reply #20 on:** December 07, 2008, 04:21:19 AM

The image may be damaged or otherwise corrupted then. Try uploading signature.png again.

Flame · **Reply #21 on:** December 07, 2008, 04:32:01 AM

k. sig is there now. weird. $:\$ thanks for all the help guys.

Akamaru · **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2008, 07:38:36 AM

I guess we can't view all of Flame's avatars by clicking on his bar?

and I see DZ is doing another rotation.

Shiki Tohno · **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2008, 12:36:26 PM

Type-Moon week, kiddo. Type-Moon week.

If everyone's using avatar randomization, then there's nothing special about it anymore. In the end, it'll be guys like me who use just one avatar at a time who'll become the minority. Is this the new form of E-[ray splasher]/tits comparison these days? >_> Also, isn't the whole randomization a strain for the server?

News

So you'd like to have a random avatar like me, huh...
