Need Help for a Signature, also an expert is needed

[Arkard]

Well, i have a problem here, i want to make a forum signature and i want something like this:

"Want to see my Uploads/Downloads? Click here ---------> Status"

So, the "here" takes you to my WebUI Link and the Status must show if is UP or DOWN, for example, if i have my PC Off the status must say DOWN.

I really appreciate your help and Thanks.

The only way I can see this happening is via some image hosted on a server of your own that polls your computer with webui to see if it's connecting.

Yeah, i suppose that, but can anybody tell me how?

Webserver with php with curl/sockets and GD

And then use the info from the API sticky.

Its not easy. A lot of work and I don't think anyone is gonna help you unless they want to make something like this for themselves (I cba).

I really appreciate your help Lord Alderaan, im going to try to make this easy and so i can make some kind of server for this.

Hello. For what you want to do it would be easier to use HyperIM which has the following plugins:

- uTorrent info extractor

- status2web

- (you can completely unload any other plugins, if all you only want from HyperIM is to send uTorrent info to a webscript). This minimises the memory load next to nothing.

This will take care of sending uTorrent info to a webhost, so all you're left to do is find a host (or use localhost), and to implement the webscript that creates the actual image from the received POST string (e.g. using PHP + the GD library). But there are already many tutorials on web on how to do such thing.

Good luck.
