openSUSE 11 Counter
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?

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!

Alright, I’ll see about doing something more nimble.

Anyone know how to add this to iGoogle (http://www.google.com/ig)?

I proposed the idea on mailing list. See http://en.opensuse.org/Countdown and probably add your widget too …

Hi!
The counter looks good, but i’m agree with #1 and #2, maybe should be small.
I’ll uses in my spanish kdeblog.
Thanks
