[opensuse] Blue Countdown Available

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 The php script and the png image background are: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/countdown.php http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/images/counter-medium-blue... It was sort of fun seeing how they work ;-) Just make sure you are gd installed if you want to put it up on your site, or just link to the first URL directly. It uses DejaVu as the font and that's a standard opensuse installed font, so you shouldn't have any problems. -- David C.

Hey! Sylvester and David: Thank you both. Those new countdowns look very interesting! 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 <zly@solidonline.dk>:

I've added a size parameter as well, though you can only downsize, not make it bigger. Example, resized to 128x128: http://solidonline.dk/11.1.php?red=127&green=0&blue=0&alpha=30&gamma=0.5&siz... But the smaller you make it, the more blurry it gets. You should retain a ratio of 1:1 also.

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.
