Dynamic Forum Signature to display most recent topics in SMF

[ferrazf]

Hi,

Alright, some of you may have heard of dynamic images used in forum signatures. Pretty much it is a PHP script that you input as your forum signature, which links to a random image. There is also a way for this image to have changing text, as described here

What I wanted to do was extend this idea further, and instead of using a static TXT file for the text in the image, as the link above suggests, perhaps I could use a dynamic txt as well. For this, it would probably be necessary to have a sort of "exporter" which would save in this TXT file the titles for the most recent topics in the user's SMF forums. That way you would have a sig that randomly displays the titles for your most recent forum topics. I have no idea how feasible this is, perhaps  someone could enlighten me a bit.

EDIT:: Forgot to include a link where it says "described here"

Thanks!

I think its a good idea and if you come up with some sort of code or javescript i am sure it would be used by many

Yeah, the hard thing is finding someone with enough patience to work on it.. And it also has its shortcomings, as someone could make a post full with some not-so-desirable remarks, and it would automatically show on your signature.. Though that'd be a matter of having the right community

LOL, by the way, nice site, I did't take your signature for real

I've been thinking about this. I think it would be possible to do this. Unfortunately I'm not a good enough programmer to do it myself. I'm going to ask a few questions to the SMF team and see what info they could give on it. I know Daniel15 has a dynamic-sig program that he's worked on before. So I'll see what he things about it.

I posted on SMF, but no one has showed interest so far :/
I also posted on Joomlahacks, and also nothing

Ich, any updates?

No word from Daniel yet. Wondering if he actually got my email. I'll see if I can't catch him on MSN.
