Signature Banner Image?

[westonweather]

One of the reasons I like this software is it's simplicity, the flat files, the not needing PHP on the server etc. It keeps it all very simple & cheap to host from home, so appreciate it's not going to be feature rich - although it's pretty impressive!

However, I do have one ask...Are there any plans to introduce a signature banner image in future releases?

Not as part of Cumulus, no, as it can be done already. See the downloads page and https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=9697

But that one does require PHP.

Ah ok, thanks Steve. Trying to avoid putting PHP on the server as it's only used for image hosting right now. The less there is on it, the less I have to worry about security holes.

I'm not sure how you would do a banner image without PHP? Unless this is why you asked if it would be added to Cumulus? You want Cumulus to create the image and upload it? It's unlikely I'll ever get around to doing that, sorry, as the PHP version already exists.

Yep, that's why I asked, but it's a "nice to have" not an essential - and those that really want it have a solution as you say.
Thanks for taking the time to reply

Unfortunately I have such a long list of 'essentials' that it will be a long time before I get around to the 'nice to haves'

[westonweather]

Especially when "nice to have's" like me get the bug and decide to turn on the PHP module and sort it out for himself

LOL, I just couldn't leave it alone!

I've had time to tweak & play with this today and have come up with some nice results (I think).
