That's the HTML/Javascript. It'd just be a simple server-side script in PHP:
Ex.
if ($signatures){ //Shorthand for if($signatures == True) -A.K.A if sigs are on
while($sig_data[0]){
echo "$sig_data";
}
}
You'd also need the SQL code to query the database, but that's basically all you'd need.
(Someone correct me if the code's wrong as I haven't done this in a while)
*waits for Achronos to come and tell me its hard in ASP.NET*
You're right, this would be very easy to do in PHP. But unfortunately, these boards are a lot different than PHP based boards, and ASP.NET works a lot differently than PHP does.
I won't go into detail, but yes, it's hard in ASP.NET. Atleast harder, I'll bet Achronos' skill level is a lot more in the field than mine.
Also, I noticed you said query the SQL database. But that would make it run even slower, because it would have to hit the database every single time someone went to a new page, then multiply that times the number of signatures on the current page, and you'd have a whole lot of querying in just one minute. Now multiply that one minute times the thousands of users querying just for that minute. After less than an hour, the database would surely cave, just by the sheer volume of information being requested from a single database. Granted, Bungie.net does have several super servers, but this would still put an immense amount of strain as far as the database extraction goes.
