nope, already tried

(look above the opensuse 11 banner)
:-(
this should works, but I'm not confident about the crontab (is the time correct?)
script to dl the image each day (this image is loaded in the wiki)

So, there are two different things: 1. To place an image into a page 2. To have an image link to another location The differences between them are explained very well here: http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Images So, now what you tried and didn't work, was the second method, but you have to use the first method "To place an image into a page", and I see that the syntax to use is (example from above link): http://pmichaud.com/img/misc/pc.jpg"Paper clips" | [- %newwin% [[ (Wikipedia:Paper_clips | Paper clips ]] are ''fun'' to work with. -] so, in your case has to be: "To place an image into a page, enter the address (url) of the image into the markup text" http://counter.opensuse.org/11.1/large"OpenSUSE Counter" cheers, Ionut -- === Ioan Vancea http://www.vioan.ro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I thing is a png image but without extension, I am not sure :) then maybe is better to ask the "author" to add also .png extension to that image, in the link :)

A coordinated experiment across a couple of time zones could answer that. However, that's not really necessary: <http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2008/11/opensuse-111-countdown.html>: "The openSUSE release countdown banners have been updated, with new languages (pt_BR, hu, id, bg, jp and wa) as well as counting down to 11.1 It automatically localizes depending on the preferred language as configured in the user's browser, with support for the following languages: English, German, Czech, French, Danish, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Finnish, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Swedish, Croatian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovenian, Chinese (traditional and Taïwan), Hindi, Bulgarian, Japanese and Walloon. Again, thanks a lot to everyone who contributed those translations. And as it is rendered on the server, it always points to the right number of remaining days before 11.1 release (diffed against 12:00 CET)."

If it's a good day. And if not, perhaps then it's a good day to die?

I think the hour is propagated as UTC, and your machine simply displays it in your localtime.

I think you missed my smiley! It wasn't the wget/ls output I was thinking of, it was the bits in the image! At the start of release day, the countdown image should be showing 0 days to Europeans, while it should still be showing 1 day to North Americans. The number of days remaining changes at 0500 UTC for New Yorkers, for example, if the file is to be released at 0000 UTC. So the server should in theory serve a different image to browsers depending on where the browser is located.

It serves a different language, but not time: the time to release is absolute, does not depend on where you live. <http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2008/11/opensuse-111-countdown.html> ] And as it is rendered on the server, it always points to the right ] number of remaining days before 11.1 release (diffed against 12:00 CET). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It is common to use T-delta , where T is event time and delta remain time until event. You can put h, m, s behind delta. BTW, for the last few minutes or seconds <LANG>.opensuse.org can change to bigger counter in the center of the page, and then on T change to very prominent download links, and counter can go back to current position, now showing T+delta (this is past the event) for the first 24 hours, or whatever is used to measure number of downloads in peak time after release. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
