Change the me=marie for me=tiger_lil6 and it will work perfectly

I found it...after I was thinking for a minute I tried changing that.

Again..thanks so much for the help.

[Jimmy]

No problem, that's why we are here

[Dragonfire]

I might later try to change how it looks.  I thought it had it so the date thing would show up.

I'll deal with that later.  I'm just happy it is showing up.

If you mean the text at the top and bottom, that's what these are for:

Code: [Select]

"topmsg" => "What #NAME# has watched recently:",
"botmsg" => "as of #DATE#",The former is for the top row, obviously, the latter is for the one at the bottom. the above example should create what you see in my signature. Did you delete those lines...? It should show up if they are still there...

[Dragonfire]

I thought they were still there.  I'll have to look again.

Make sure that

Code: [Select]

"bgcol" => "F8CC75",
"fontcol" => "000000"
are not the same. Black on black is hard to read.

[Dragonfire]

Hmm...not sure what is wrong. 

The code is a little different there - when I was trying again earlier, I found another example I tried..I couldn't get the other to work last night.
When I adjusted those lines, something got all messed up.  The page for my collection was just blank, like it was last night.

So I've put the code back to what was working before.

//Profile
$profiles = array(
"tiger_lil6" => array(
"nick" => "tiger_lil6",
"first" => "Marie",
"last" => "",
"width" => 71,
"height" => 95,
"num" => 10,
"bgcol" => "d3d3d3",
"font" => "arial.ttf",
"fontcol" => "000000",
"fontsize" => 10,
"hborder" => 2,
"wborder" => 3,
"padding" => 3,
"topmsg" => "What #NAME#'s watched recently as of #DATE#...",
"botmsg" => "",
"botalign" => "c",
"topalign" => "c",
"quality" => 100
)
);

//Profile
$profiles = array(
"tiger_lil6" => array(
"nick" => "tiger_lil6",
"first" => "Marie",
"last" => "",
"width" => 71,
"height" => 95,
"num" => 10,
"bgcol" => "d3d3d3",
"font" => "arial.ttf",
"fontcol" => "000000",
"fontsize" => 10,
"hborder" => 2,
"wborder" => 3,
"padding" => 3,
"topmsg" => "What #NAME#'s watched recently as of #DATE#...",
"botmsg" => "",
"botalign" => "c",
"topalign" => "c",
"quality" => 100
)
);

Mine is like that
$profiles = array(
   "jimmy" => array(
      "nick" => "Jimmy",
      "first" => "Jimmy",
      "last" => "Simard",
      "width" => 61,
      "height" => 85,
      "num" => 10,
      "bgcol" => "deb887",
      "font" => "arial.ttf",
      "fontcol" => "FFFFFF",
      "fontsize" => 10,
      "hborder" => 3,
      "wborder" => 5,
      "padding" => 5,
      "topmsg" => "What #NAME#'s watched recently.",
      "botmsg" => "As of #DATE#",
      "topalign" => "l",
      "botalign" => "l",
      "quality" => 80
   ),

Tried to replace the part in bold, since they are the only difference between you and me,

[Dragonfire]

Ok...just tried that.  So far, so good.  The page isn't blank anyway..

[Dragonfire]

Well I managed to get the background color changed.  That's something.  

I'm still trying changes to see if I can get the name and date stuff to show. 

[Dragonfire]

Well I've changed all I can think of and it still isn't showing up.

Here's what I've got now.

//Profile
$profiles = array(
"tiger_lil6" => array(
"nick" => "tiger_lil6",
"first" => "Marie",
"last" => "",
"width" => 61,
"height" => 85,
"num" => 10,
"bgcol" => "7F38EC",
"font" => "arial.ttf",
"fontcol" => "000000",
"fontsize" => 10,
"hborder" => 3,
"wborder" => 5,
"padding" => 5,
"topmsg" => "What #NAME#'s watched recently",
"botmsg" => "As of #DATE#",
"botalign" => "l",
"topalign" => "l",
"quality" => 80
)
);

Actually, there sholdn't be a reason why you can not have a topmsg only. I think the problem is simply the dimensions...? The text is technically there, it's just outside the image, if that makes sense.

I am no expert in this, but height and width are the image dimensions. So play around with hborder, wborder and padding to see what they do.

Also, you might want to change quality. It's JPG images and 100% really isn't needed. 90 or 85 should work fine. Jimmy has 80 and you can still read most of the text. EDIT: I see you did that while I was typing.

[Dragonfire]

Yup..I figured I might as well try changing those too.  Still no luck.

[Dragonfire]

Well I've tried changing a few more things.  I'm out of ideas for now. 

Is there something else in the localconfig file that should have been changed?

Here's what I have after the last change.

//Profile
$profiles = array(
"tiger_lil6" => array(
"nick" => "tiger_lil6",
"first" => "Marie",
"last" => "",
"width" => 71,
"height" => 95,
"num" => 10,
"bgcol" => "7F38EC",
"font" => "arial.ttf",
"fontcol" => "000000",
"fontsize" => 10,
"hborder" => 6,
"wborder" => 3,
"padding" => 6,
"topmsg" => "What #NAME#'s watched recently",
"botmsg" => "As of #DATE#",
"botalign" => "l",
"topalign" => "l",
"quality" => 80
)
);
