I offical countdown, we can add a ID to use an localized counter. eg. http://counter.opensuse.org/11.1/small.jp for Japan, and http://counter.opensuse.org/11.1/small.tw for Taiwan Would you please to add this function? I will use it in my blog. Many thanks. With Regards Ray Chen 2008/12/1 Sylvester Lykkehus :

List,

If anyone would rather a blue countdown to 11.1 instead of green, I have one with the blue_curl backdrop on my site that you are free to scavenge. The countdown is:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown.php

<snip>

(sorry David, first post was to you directly by mistake)

David, that is a nice idea.

For fun, I tried making one with 'dynamic' colors. The user supplied values are RGB (0-255), alpha (0-127) and gamma (0.1-2.0).

Some examples:

Whine red: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.php?red=127&green=0&blue=0&alpha=30&gamma=0.5

Dull yellow: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.php?red=127&green=127&blue=0&alpha=30&gamma=0.5

Grey: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.php?red=255&green=255&blue=255&alpha=70&gamma=0.5

For the interested, the script is here: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.phps

I want to use these script, but they are a bit big what is the smallest you can make them?

I'll crank out a smaller one, but I fell asleep before it got done ;-) -- David C.

Ray, I would be happy to include the Japanese and Taiwanese localized counter for you, but I do not know how to do it. Mine is a very simple script that I guess uses the time in local-time from my server location (CST). If you would like to download my script (or just cut and past for below) it should work in local time from your location on your server: Background Images: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/counter-small-blue.... http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/counter-medium-blue... gd Scripts: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown-small.php http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown.php If your blocked from downloading by IP filtering, here are the actual php scripts. just cut-n-paste into countdown-small.php and countdown.php, respectively: countdown-small.php <?php // Create the Base image from a png file $img = imagecreatefrompng('counter-small-blue.png'); // Set the content-type header("Content-type: image/png"); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); $ltblue = imagecolorallocate($img, 82, 97, 214); $dkblue = imagecolorallocate($img, 14, 44, 78); // Calculated the Days to go // day of year for 12/18/08 $date = new DateTime("18-December-2008 00:00:01"); $reldate=$date->format("z"); //todays day number of the year $datenow = new DateTime(); $countday = $datenow->format("z"); //Calculation of days to go $timetogo = $reldate - $countday; // Select Standard Font $font = 'DejaVuSans.ttf'; // Draw the date $text = $timetogo; // Add some shadow to the text imagettftext($img, 42, 0, 29, 93, $ltblue, $font, $text); // Add the text imagettftext($img, 42, 0, 28, 91, $white, $font, $text); // Draw days to go shadow and text $font = 'DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf'; $text = 'days to go'; imagettftext($img, 12, 0, 19, 116, $ltblue, $font, $text); imagettftext($img, 12, 0, 18, 115, $white, $font, $text); // Draw the Image and Cleanup imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> countdown.php <?php // Create the Base image from a png file $img = imagecreatefrompng('counter-medium-blue.png'); // Set the content-type header("Content-type: image/png"); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); $ltblue = imagecolorallocate($img, 82, 97, 214); $dkblue = imagecolorallocate($img, 14, 44, 78); // Calculated the Days to go // day of year for 12/18/08 $date = new DateTime("18-December-2008 00:00:01"); $reldate=$date->format("z"); //todays day number of the year $datenow = new DateTime(); $countday = $datenow->format("z"); //Calculation of days to go $timetogo = $reldate - $countday; // Font path $font = 'DejaVuSans.ttf'; // The date to draw $text = $timetogo; // Add some shadow to the text imagettftext($img, 84, 0, 59, 188, $ltblue, $font, $text); // Add the text imagettftext($img, 84, 0, 57, 185, $white, $font, $text); // The title to draw $text = 'days to go'; // Add some shadow to the text imagettftext($img, 22, 0, 47, 226, $ltblue, $font, $text); // Add the text imagettftext($img, 22, 0, 46, 225, $white, $font, $text); // Draw the Image and Cleanup imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> -- David C.

Thanks for the pointer, I had no idea that localized version was available :-)

I've added a "lang" parameter, example: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.php?red=127&green=0&blue=0&alpha=30&gamma=0.5&lang=jp

Updated script: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.phps
