We are currently creating our affiliate area and I wanted to make the graphics buttons logos and banners a tad more customized.
Years ago, there was a script, where you could enter text in input field and that text would appear on a graphic you could then share.
Buggered if I can remember what this kind of thing is called… any ideas.
So example:
You have a base Image, user enters some text in input field. They click generate and the text appears on the image.
They can then download, or use img src code to share. I kind of dont want it where the img path becomes something like… myimage.png?text=hello+world but can cope if thats the case.
Hi Aaran thanks.
Yeah I get the concept, just not how to add client side shiznit. Where they can enter text and it adds it to the image, have looked at TerriSwallows. Will look at the Daftlogic one. Cheers Mate ( oh and yer been reading thru php gd functionality )
I suppose lol. But was trying to do it similar to the Einstein link above. So that the image gets stored on the server as a png file . So we dont need to share images like…
myimage.php
or
myimage.png?text=life+sucks lol
More like userpic_123.png and pref’ process and display the image using ajax
I know the guys at http://shareyourlove.com/ spent months working on their image generator. That was a while ago now though.
Yep that is kinda what I am after. Just asking on Stackoverflow. If I get a response, and not hurled into Geek Oblivion will share the code. Its only for something really very very basic. Thanks Dave.
p.s. did u get my email regarding the Analytics ? I reposted last week >> updated here
Did you ever get this going? I’m interested in a similar functionality… basically I want a text input on the site where a user can enter a string of text which will be output as a jpg that they can then save and upload to their social media profiles.
Any help or insight you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Yes we did it ourselves in the end. It isnt that straightforward. But you use php to do it
