- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28hey guys, any of the diggers like to give some feedback.
I thinking putting a form on there so you can generate and the copy and paste the code. - headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I think it's a great idea, and it looks good. I'll be adding it to my site. My only concern is who the heck are you? I don't mean that in a bad way, but for all I know:
1. Your host won't be able to handle all the traffic coming from thousands of people using this, which will leave my site hanging while the frame loads
2. For all I know you could by spying on my visitors.
So great idea, and I will try it out, but I'd just feel better if Digg was hosting this, or you released the full source code so I could host it myself. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19you mean forum?
@ninjamonk hey if you need help turning the card into a image for sigs you can contact me on msn @ koncept.binair-e[at]hotmail.com - Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18aye there is a javascript version coming for all the iframe haters :p
- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16@ashley91 lol, I am about to move :p
@xenoNfluX, thats a really good idea, I will look into turning it into a sig. I will release the code once I am done playing with it. Might even do some tutorials for it as well. - Beelzebub, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20Digg belongs no where near that god-forsaken blackhole....i mean, website
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Living ~20 miles from the creator of this, if anything goes wrong I can personally annoy him.
Not that I intend or want to, though. - capstinence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Don't worry, about steal_apps, man. He's been dugg down, as it should be. Great creation, dude! Looks great on my site!
- jtjdt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Overall ranking and picture would be sweet!
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12What morons keep modding down Ninjamonk's replies? What the hell is wrong with you people!?
- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11hi guys
I am gonna make it output an XML feed so people can do with it what they want (I'll release the code at somepoint as well).
I will check it in opera and fix any issues.
You can turn the link to my site off via CSS. I will look at improving it next weekend. - brandonr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12That's a nice hack you've made. But, give us some code to poke and prod at so we can host it on our own sites.
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html - surfit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It would be a lot more popular if it was an image instead (probably updated by GD every X hours - assuming PHP is used). Reason being, most respectable websites don't let normal people use iframes or Javascript. For example, vBulletin powered forums have signatures where you are restricted to custom tags for safety. I bet Digg are working on something like this since it would be a major way of promoting their website on-the-cheap.
- darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11@Beelzebub
agreed, please don't allow digg to come into contact to attentionwhorespace.
But other than that, it looks great! All I had to do was edit my css to create a white backgroun on my blog and now it fits in great with my other badges. However I think if we had our own code or could host it else where it would be far better for your site. - SamKellett, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Would anyone else rather this was a script tag, not an iframe or is it just me?
- xenoNfluX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9That's cool... any way to have it generate images for forum signatures or release the code so we can put it on our own servers so you don't have to feel the bandwidth hit?
- JeroenR, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Edit: What Ninjamonk said..
If a visitor sees your diggcard on your site he (or she) may want ho have a diggcard on their own website? Hence the link to diggcard... - Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8just a link to where they can get thier own really.
- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@Koncept thanks I am looking at it now, if I get stuck I'll give you a yell.
@steal apps01, sorry didn't realise there was rules on what you can comment on. I am just trying to improve it for all you guys. I will look at adding a blog to the site or something so I can engage users there. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Since you're the authority on the proper use of digg, what exactly is the list of proper comment area uses? I'm sure Kevin and the guys would love your input jerk-off.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12No worries nobody cares about internet explorer. I agree OS it, that advertisement of your website on your website on the bottom is fairly ugly, and ruins the rest of the script. Need a better way to integrate it with a smaller font or delete it period. Nice script, and idea though.
- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8try adding this to the css on your site
iframe #diggcard{display:none;}
or using the same method you could reformat it - Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7sorry folks there was a bug in the css, it was not actually displaying as it should. I.E the digg username and ranking were not showing. opps. maybe I should of tested it a bit more. it also has the digg banner at the top.
- Cytranic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Are you caching these results, or are you scraping digg on every load? Also like the above said, make it an image instead. I'm not sure if this can be done with ASP. PHP has image generating abilites so I hear.
- affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6http://diggcard.com/show.aspx?username=kevinrose
- Archon810, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Anybody want to take this one step further and register www.diggsigg.com or something and make us some digg img signatures for forums?
Update: son of a bitch, that's already been registered! what are the odds? - synth7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Just change the height attribute to 150, it removes the link at the bottom and the dotted line
- Kickersny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@Rub3X:
Add the following bit of CSS to your site:
div#diggcard{
display: none;
}
No more diggcard tag! - OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Digg ranks are even more fun than BF2 ranks. I wish we could get Digg medals for various achievements. :p
- Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No Api for this info yet but I am sure they will. Basically I did it as you said but created a function to pull the info.
I am gonna play with this over the next couple of days and release an API so people can mash away.
Koncept I am going out for the evening but I'll add you to my to do list and be in touch - Ninjamonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4you could try this in your css
iframe #diggcontainer #image1
{
width:yourwidthpx;
* or display:none;/ but this might break it*/
} - aidanr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5in opera when i click on "see all" it opens the link in the iframe...
- capstinence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Anyone wanna post the code to remove or change the look of the ugly link at the end? I want to give credit where it's due, but it's pretty gross. If someone does post the code to take it off, I'll add it elsewhere on my site.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well here is what I've got done so far
http://67.77.111.54/digg/koncept.jpg
replace koncept with your user name and it should work if it errors out its because of a known error.
I am still looking for designers - vekro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Awesome idea, I'd like to see it adapted to be used in signatures.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sounds good. I make a lot of WordPress plugins http://www.headzoo.com and I'd like to see something like this turned into a plugin. That would alleviate the need to use an iframe, since the HTML can be generated right in the page.
If you did manage to setup an XML type feed, that would be very helpful. - weiran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Should be straightforward to convert that into an image, .NET has all the libraries you need.
Also, I don't see why you have such a big viewstate (as there are no postbacks to be sent), turn off the viewstate data for all the controls there and it should reduce the size of the page. - kodeiko, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Oh no, not iframe please. Oh well, I'm a HTML junkie. ;) Nonetheless, +digg.
- tysonhy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Got my digg card just now. Awesome stuff....keep up the good work.
Now I feel like i'm in the club...LOL - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well after a tad bit of work and API tweaks while working with headzoo i give you
http://diggsig.com/koncept.jpg
replace koncept with your user name
soon to come sigs/wordpress plug-in/api tools. - nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3same here in FF.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If anyone is interested, I used this idea to create a WordPress plugin. You can get it @ http://www.headzoo.com/diggbadge
Screenshot -> http://www.headzoo.com/screenshots (bottom of the page)
P.S. No iframe :) - headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That would explain it. :)
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm guessing the author got it out before Digg. Doesn't matter now, because with the exception of a few tweaks, it really can't be improved, no matter what Digg comes out with.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Something like that seems like it should be customizable. Either via query vars in the image URL, or a members page on your site where people select options.
Might make life easier to offer a few different designs, and let people choose the design to use via the query vars. - thewhitefedora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I didn't know digg deleted html tags. just delete. the border attribute of the code and insert style="border-width:0 0 0 0;" into the code.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is there an API for grabbing profiles, or is this just grabbing the profile page and regexp through the HTML?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hey, Ninjamonk. I have some ideas that i wanna give to you in private. Message me on msn when you get a chance.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I suppose. I'm not sure exactly how you're doing it. If you're using GD in PHP, then it's really not all that difficult. Start with different base images, each that have a spot for text. Use GD to print the text in those blank spots. Offer different font colors and sizes. Also different dimensions.
Doesn't sound that' difficult. :) - headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hehe.. well I tried emailing you, but the message was sent back as undeliverable. :)
