media Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 20 hours ago, CodingJungle said: the avatars are stored in uploads/n2a (they might stick around after the app is uninstalled, but they are easily located to be removed), but as for the users profiles they will revert back to the eggman or whatever default avatar you set for them to have if they didn't select on on their own. it doesn't actually save to their member record, it sees if they have an avatar selected, as it normally just return the default avatar's url, instead it will return the n2a avatar generated for them. once the image is generated and they don't change their name or you don't mess with any settings, the same image url image will be returned. I wanted it to have as little actual impact on everything, incase it is removed or if IPS rolls out their own (or for some reason i suddenly turn into a prick and refuse to update it or something). I was going to have it store to the member's record and the more i thought about it the more i was like "nope that is a bad idea". Thank you for doing this man... Great job again... New version works like a charm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even have considered disabling uploading their own avatar's, and forcing everyone to have a n2a , as i don't really have a community per se so i don't think a lot of people would object.

iacas Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've been enjoying it. About the only thing I think I could ask for is to supply a "base image" and color that image rather than coloring the square (or circle). I believe in GD or ImageMagick it'd basically just be a mask. That way sites could still have their "branding" (our default avatar is our site's logo with a small "Please upload an avatar") while still making unique avatars in both color and the one- or two-letter images. But, I totally get why that probably won't be added. It's donation-ware right now, and that's more work. FWIW, I will donate here soon. I'm waiting until I'm paid for something here soon via PayPal. It's been working well on my site. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Small typo: Upload your font file to applications/n2a/sources/Colors, place the name of the font file here, including extension. Default font file is ariel.ttf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what i can do the next time i have a some throw away time . i removed imagemagick from it, cause the more i added, the more annoying and inaccurate imagemagick was becoming when trying to center the font, i wasn't able to programmatically come up with a solution i was happy with. I really don't want any one thinking its "donation-ware" as that is not my intent with putting a link to my paypal.me, a few people had inquired if they could send me a "thanks" via paypal (and instead of replying to a half dozen or more PM's, it just easier to put it there if some one really wants to show a monetary gratitude ), i don't want anyone thinking they are obligated . I'd be just as happy with a glowing review on it . I honestly only have a few hours tied up in it, maybe 3 hours at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Woods Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've just noticed this topic now has the "Planned" tag. I hope IPS at least gives some public credit to CJ, what with all of the customer information now available in this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you upload the Verdana from your computer to your website (and by that make it available for download for everyone), you are violating the license agreement.

CodingJungle Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 err it would seem the "arial" font i include isn't "free" so to speak...i will be replacing it soon with liberation sans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodingJungle Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 okay updated to using "roboto" by default the font website i obtained arial from should be shot! and so does wiki when i was looking at best fonts to use (same with php.net lol).

CodingJungle Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 this is why i like development, most 3rd party code is listed usually what sort of license can be used! Just now, media said: Wow, learned new things ha... its one of those annoying things where trademark/copyright laws haven't quite caught up with the internet. if i tell css to use font "arial" it will use it as long as the persons machine has it, but if i tell a php script to use it, and the machine has it, it will use it, but if i generate an image with it, well that is sorta a weird area to be in, one i'd rather not have to deal with tbh so roboto it is!

I am not uploading anything, still learning this... If I do not upload any type of font, does this plugin use the verdana font on front-end user computer?

Jed Rosenzweig Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Loving this @CodingJungle! I have one suggestion for us on IPS enterprise servers which would be to change the font declaration to a path (or accept resource code?) as we do not have FTP access and need to request uploads. Not a critical thing obviously. Thank you for the plugin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the plugin! added in an uploader in the settings, where you can upload a ttf/ttc/otf font file (it will store it in uploads/n2aFont), it will override the "Font File" field (including the default font).
