openSUSE 11 Counter


loading

If you’re seeing this on a planet or feed reader, you may want to visit the original article to see the actual counter, not a static image.

As requested on #opensuse-project on Freenode, here’s the openSUSE 11 release countdown widget. There’s still a lot to be desired, most notably the localization isn’t working as I cannot figure out how to get HTTP headers from javascript and navigator.language not really being the accept-language user preference. Also perhaps somebody wants to rewrite the thing in pure javascript and not depend on jquery.

To embed in your webpage, use this –

<!-- BEGIN SUSE Counter -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://forgeftp.novell.com/opensuse-art/openSUSE11/web-banner/jquery.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://forgeftp.novell.com/opensuse-art/openSUSE11/web-banner/SUSEcounter.js"></script><div id="countercontainer" style="width: 256px; height: 256px; margin: 0;padding: 0;"><a id="nojavascriptlink" href="http://www.opensuse.org"><img style="border: 0;" alt="loading" src="http://forgeftp.novell.com/opensuse-art/openSUSE11/web-banner/images/nojavascript.png" width="256" height="256" /></a></div>
<!-- END SUSE Counter -->

    I’d love to use a smaller one, maybe 80 or 150 pixels wide?

  2. Kennon Says:

    Ditto on the smaller one. This one doesn’t sit in my blog sidebar very gracefully and I can’t seem to scale down the dimensions ;-) Otherwise it looks very slick, thank you so much!
