# Help & Documentation: Tabloid Cover Generator
Generate custom magazine-style tabloid covers with shocking headlines, celebrity names, and dramatic images. Perfect for jokes, parties, or social media chaos.
## Quick Start Guide
Here’s how to create your scandalous masterpiece in minutes:
1. **Step 1: Pick a custom tabloid title.**
* This is the name of your magazine, like "Gossip Central" or "Scandal Weekly".
2. **Step 2: Write your outrageous headline.**
* This is the main, shocking headline that grabs attention. Make it bold!
3. **Step 3: Add some dramatic blurbs.**
* Add 2-4 smaller headlines to support your main story. Separate each one with a new line.
4. **Step 4: Upload a photo or generate one with AI (Pro).**
* You can upload your own image (JPG/PNG) or, if you're a Pro user, use AI to create a unique image based on your headline.
5. **Step 5: Generate and download your masterpiece.**
* Click the generate button and get ready to share your hilarious custom cover!
## Features
* **Custom Titles & Headlines:** Full control over the text on the cover.
* **Image Uploads:** Use any JPG or PNG image as the main photo for your cover.
* **AI Image Generation (Pro):** Pro users can automatically generate a matching image using AI, making the story even more believable.
* **Customizable Details:** Add an issue date and a custom barcode to complete the look.
* **Instant Downloads:** Free users can download a JPG of their cover. Pro users get high-resolution, watermark-free JPG and PDF downloads.
## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
**Q: Can I upload a real celebrity photo?**
A: Yes, but make sure you have the right to use the image. We’re not responsible for misuse or impersonation of real people. This tool is for entertainment and parody purposes only.
**Q: What formats can I download?**
A: You can download JPG for free or high-resolution PDF with a Pro plan.
**Q: Will there be a watermark?**

Of course. Here is the continuation, including the necessary Python script for AI image generation to complete the tool's functionality and an updated processor.php to integrate it.
NOTE ON REQUIRED ASSETS:
For the processor.php script to function correctly, the following asset files must be placed in /home/tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com/public_html/assets/:
default_bg.jpg: A generic background image for covers without uploads.
barcode.png: A sample barcode image.
fonts/Impact.ttf: The Impact font file.
fonts/Arial.ttf: The Arial font file.
These asset files are required dependencies for the ImageMagick commands.

# API Documentation: Tabloid Cover Generator
The Tabloid Cover Generator API allows Ultimate tier subscribers to programmatically create tabloid covers. All requests must be authenticated with a valid API key.
## Authentication
Authentication is handled via an API key passed in the request headers.
- **Header:** `X-API-KEY`
- **Value:** `Your-Unique-API-Key`
You can find your API key in your account dashboard on DigitalPrank.com.
## Endpoint
- **URL:** `https://tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com/api.php`
- **Method:** `POST`
- **Content-Type:** `application/json`
## Rate Limiting
API access is rate-limited to **10 requests per minute**. Exceeding this limit will result in a `429 Too Many Requests` error.
## Request Body
The request body should be a JSON object containing the fields to populate the tabloid cover.
### Example Request:
```json
{
"tabloid_title": "Galaxy Gossip",
"main_headline": "BILLIONAIRE BUILDS SECRET BASE ON MARS",
"secondary_blurbs": "Exclusive Photos Inside!\nNeighbors Complain About Rocket Noise\nIs He Hiding Aliens?",
"ai_image": true,
"issue_date": "2025-10-26",
"barcode_toggle": true
}
Fields:
Field Type Required Description
tabloid_title string Yes The title of the tabloid magazine. Max 50 characters.
main_headline string Yes The main, scandalous headline. Max 100 characters.
secondary_blurbs string No Supporting headlines. Use \n for new lines (2-4 recommended).
ai_image boolean No If true, an AI image will be generated based on the main_headline.
issue_date string No The issue date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
barcode_toggle boolean No If true, a custom barcode will be added to the cover. Defaults to true.
Note: The API does not support direct file uploads. To use a custom image, you must generate a cover through the web interface.
Responses
Success Response (200 OK)
code
JSON
{
"success": true,
"message": "Tabloid cover generated successfully.",
"data": {
"imageUrl": "https://tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com/results/cover_635abd1f2c3d4.jpg",
"isAiGenerated": true,
"creditsUsed": 1
}
}
Error Responses
400 Bad Request: The request body is not valid JSON.
401 Unauthorized: The X-API-KEY header is missing.
403 Forbidden: The API key is invalid or does not have Ultimate tier access.
422 Unprocessable Entity: The JSON was valid, but some fields failed validation (e.g., a required field is missing).
429 Too Many Requests: You have exceeded the API rate limit.
500 Internal Server Error: An unexpected error occurred during image generation.

# README: Tabloid Cover Generator
This document provides a complete overview of the Tabloid Cover Generator tool, its architecture, file structure, and setup process.
## 1. Tool Overview
This tool allows users to generate fake, humorous tabloid magazine covers. It supports text customization, user image uploads, and AI-powered image generation for Pro-tier users. It is a standalone component of the DigitalPrank platform.
- **Live URL:** `https://tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com`
- **Primary Technology:** PHP, ImageMagick, Python (for AI), MySQL.
- **Key Features:** Custom text, image uploads, AI image generation, user history, API access.
## 2. File Structure
- `/tool_config.json`: Master JSON file defining all tool fields, features, limits, and metadata. The single source of truth for the tool's behavior.
- `/processor.php`: The backend engine. Handles form submissions, validation, calls the image generator, and logs usage.
- `/tool_form.php`: The main user-facing HTML and form page.
- `/ImageGenerator.php`: A PHP class that encapsulates all ImageMagick and Python script-calling logic.
- `/ai_image_generator.py`: The Python script that uses the `diffusers` library to generate images from text prompts.
- `/history.php`: A gallery page for users to view their past creations.
- `/api.php`: The API endpoint for programmatic access by Ultimate-tier users.
- `/diagnostic.php`: A script to check server configuration, dependencies, and permissions.
- `/cleanup_cron.php`: A maintenance script to be run daily by cron to delete old files and database entries.
- `/admin.php`: A simple password-protected dashboard for monitoring tool usage and errors.
- `/deploy.sh`: The master deployment script to install dependencies and configure the server.
- `/setup_cron.sh`: A one-time script to add the cleanup job to the system crontab.
- `/assets/`: Directory for CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and static images (`barcode.png`, `default_bg.jpg`).
## 3. Setup and Deployment
1. **Prerequisites:** A Linux server (Ubuntu/Debian recommended) with OpenLiteSpeed, PHP 8.1+, MySQL, and Python 3.
2. **Clone/Copy Files:** Place all tool files into `/home/tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com/public_html/`.
3. **Run Deployment Script:** Execute `./deploy.sh` as a user with `sudo` privileges. This script will:
- Install `imagemagick`, `php-gd`, `php-mysql`, `python3-venv`.
- Create a Python virtual environment at `../venv`.
- Install `pillow`, `openai`, and `diffusers` via pip.
- Create the `tabloid_generator_history` table in the database.
- Set correct file permissions for `www-data` user.
4. **Configure Web Server:** Manually add the Virtual Host configuration provided by the `deploy.sh` script to your OpenLiteSpeed admin panel to route `tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com` to the correct directory.
5. **Set Up Cron Job:** Run `./setup_cron.sh` once to install the daily cleanup task into the system crontab.
6. **Run Diagnostics:** Access `https://.../diagnostic.php?key=digitalprank2025` to verify that all components are correctly configured and functional.
## 4. Key Workflows
### Standard Generation (Web Form)
1. User fills out `tool_form.php`.
2. AJAX request is sent to `processor.php`.
3. `processor.php` validates all inputs against `tool_config.json`.
4. It instantiates `ImageGenerator.php`.
5. `ImageGenerator.php` either processes an uploaded file or calls `ai_image_generator.py` (if applicable).
6. `ImageGenerator.php` then runs a series of `imagemagick convert` commands to compose the final cover.
7. `processor.php` receives the final image path, stores the record in the database, logs usage, and returns a JSON response to the user.
### API Generation
1. A `POST` request with a JSON body is sent to `api.php`.
2. The `X-API-KEY` header is validated by calling `getUserAccessLevelByApiKey()`.
3. The request body is validated.
4. The process follows the same steps as the standard generation via `ImageGenerator.php`.
5. A JSON response containing the final image URL is returned.
## 5. Maintenance
- **Log Files:** Check server error logs and the tool's cron log at `/home/tabloid-cover-creator.digitalprank.com/logs/cron.log` for issues.
- **Cleanup:** The `cleanup_cron.php` script is critical. It prevents the server from filling up with old images. Verify it is running via the cron log.
- **Monitoring:** Regularly check `admin.php` to monitor usage trends and identify spikes in errors.
