Just to confirm if I understood it correctly, what do you mean by 'embeddable'?
- image that can be shown in html page using tag, or
- image to be shown in html page immediately after creation, or
- tag of HTML?

At first I was thinking more around using iframes actually so that you can simply embed a card using a URL with a user ID in it, but having the ability to render the card as an image with an would also be useful say if you wanted to paste it into Bitcointalk then you have a permalink without using an image host such as Imgur.

I actually thought people stopped using after Shockwave/ActiveX et al were phased out.

Are you planning to create something? If you want to share, I may help you with the flow.

Yeah I have the domain, a web server and even a landing page to put this on, all I need is the brains for how to accomplish this kind of thing. It's something I plan on doing as soon as I finish helping a friend with their Django installation, hopefully I'll wrap that up today or tomorrow  Cheesy

@webtricks do you think that making an embeddable HTML5 card with post/merit/activity count and rank/DT status where you can just fill in a user ID to render it is doable? I don't think there's much work involved besides setting up a domain and an API which people can call to get base64 image data. The cards can even be plain and simple without decorations if that makes it easier, I don't mind.

Yeah! This is certainly possible to do so. You can create HTTP request with username in API call, server can create card in real time and send back base64 image data as response.

Rendering image in HTML webpage is also possible. I am doing this in my Bitcointalk Face-off Game. First cards are created on server side using PHP which is then rendered in front-end. Alternatively, you can go for HTML5 card creation too. The work flow for that would be, first server will fetch the data then javascript will create HTML5 card in front-end using the data.

Bump! I have paid for a year hosting+domain so why should this thread bury down in the pages! It deserved to be bumped.  Cheesy

If you haven't tried it already then try now: https://btctalk.cards . Do share your card in the thread, it would be interesting to see.

Here is my recent basic card:

Since BPIP is under construction, BTCTalk Cards can no longer scrape BFF data from BPIP.
Therefore BFF option has been deprecated from the card. (Also it was one of the most controversial data in the card as far as Wall Observer thread is concerned).
In the place of BFF option, Trust data has been added. Positive and Negative Trust of the member from Default Trust (no custom list) will be printed.

You need someone to develop your Web project ?

How it may look in real life.

Wow! These are looking fabulous. I think I will print a set of like 50 cards for myself. You have motivated me to do so.  Cheesy

Also OP may I offer you my own version?

Yeah sure. Would love to see your version.

Do you have an idea of how to print them ? A specialized site ?

Why not offer card packs for sale ? I'm sure it could work ( I'm the first to like that kind of thing ) Tongue

The problem is, I don't want to store images on my disk belonging to someone else. It may be possible people use images which have copyright. I know I am thinking too much as it's only 120*80px picture but you don't know when your time goes bad. On top of it, it may consume some of my memory which I could use for my other projects.  Cheesy
Nevertheless, you can always use image hosting services like imgur or imgbb and then use that link to create card. It will take just 2 extra minutes.

You can integrate the Imgur API on your project ( I used it for my bot, it's not very complicated Wink ) :
- https://apidocs.imgur.com/?version=latest

And if you really do not want to bother you, you can add a clickable button to copy the image in the Clipboard of the user, and at the same time open a Imgur page ( At that moment, the user has more than to paste the image to host it ).

Yes that may be a lot for not much ha ha Tongue

I have sent you PM regarding this. Just share your email in private and I will be glad to share image generating code with you.  Smiley

Yes I received the code, thank you very much. It's interesting to see how everyone can develop a project Smiley

While there are cheap hosting plans to store images plus compression when people upload, it's understandable about the copyrighted/ plagiarized concerns.

You could always link those image hosting sites when the user selects the custom option.

If you could let us choose avatar directly from device that would be great.

hmph..

As @OP says, you can upload your own image to image hosting such as imgbb, postimages, imgur etc and then put your URL on custom avatar. Using this way will save @OP server/hosting from unnecessary file on disk space.
