33) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11870) Posted 16 Apr 2005 by old_user2275 Post: Version 0.99: Just a small update before the 1.0 release. Added the possibility to add a timestamp to the image. The timestamp displays the time and date of the last BOS update. I know the development of BOS has been a bit slow lately, but I'm working on other projects also and BOS seems to run pretty stable. Besides, I've been thinking about the scheme for mirroring which looks to become pretty ambitious :) Well, I just thought it might be nice to have this timestamp, although it looks pretty odd in this version (my opinion). Ok, I still call it alpha ;)

Then you can choose between 'climateprediction.net', 'CPDN', 'climate' etc. :) The uncorrect characters are due to settings on the web server - I'll need one of the upgrades saturday and a reboot to fix that - that's why I didn't try to fix it right now ;) As I'm tying to keep downtime as low as possible I 'bundle' tasks that need downtime ;)
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11536) Posted 31 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: Version 0.97 Made some multi language changes: - Changed the font from build in font to true type Arial. This eliminates alot of character problems - The image now has dynamic width. It changes if states in a variety of languages are longer then the standard width. - Added four languages. I will wait adding chinese and russian untill I have conquered a charset problem. I will look into this saturday when the server is offline anyway Naturally the URL generator is changed accordingly.

Added an RSS news feed. It's available here: http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos_devserv_news.asp
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11466) Posted 29 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: Version 0.93: Added background transparency. As the image is .png this might not work in all -internet Explorer versions. Fixed a bug that made the image display the uptime percentage of Pirates@home as the uptime percentage for BURP in some cases. Added links page to URL generator site. Added background image to URL generator so that you can see how transparency works.

There's even a simulated image for the odd occurance that none of the projects are online ;)</p> <p>Color names for standard colors have been added to the URL generator. One of them is not found on O'Reilly's list though. The bosgolden color is one I created for this image. The other standard text colors weren't on O'Reilly's list either, so I changed them accordingly for best match.</p> <p>Added the ability to change the tagline color. This way you can choose a color for it that doesn't clash with the background color.</p> <p>Change the URLs generated by the URL generator and added them to the image script. The URLs will now get shorter. The old URLs you may already use will still work.</p> <p>Fixed a stupid bug that made the online status for climateprediction disappear when not online, and especially if it's down. I didn't know the bug was there until I saw the simulated images, so they've been a great help for me too ;)</p> <p>I wanted to do alot more from the Coming up list, but I have to get up early in the morning.</p> <p>Well, go to the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL generator site</a> for the latest updates ;)</p>

The languages that have been gracefully contributed has been added, but some characters are not shown proberly as well as long string currently do not make the image wider (that'll come). But, something that really works is uptime percentages. Yup, I've added the ability to display uptime percentage in addition to scheduler online status, and if you want, you can choose ONLY to display the uptime percentages. In addition I've added some pages to the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL generator site</a> - so take a look, and try it out ;)

The font used with imagestring doesn't include them - but if I use the ttf verdana I should be in the clear ;) It would need some re-coding, but I'll need to do that anyway to take varied string widths into account which I wanted to do anyway ;) In the meantime, while lots of you hopefully help out with the translation, I'll add the hex color change ability - would propably be available in an hour or so.

44) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers online status for websites (Message 11383) Posted 24 Mar 2005 by old_user2275 Post: I was actually thinking of releasing the source. My concern though is the polling for online status and keep congestion at the projects down. I might make it so web site poll my database in stead of the projects - that would keep the congestion at the projects to a minimum - and spread the traffic. But that's a bit further down as I still have some ideas for this I want to look into first and are still in a learning fase. As to the internationalization, I was thinking about first of all to add a page at the URL generator that offers users to contribute with translations for the three states. The string mentioned by microtoxic is the way I would implement it. The dataset-thing is a bit above my skill at the moment, but I'm working hard to learn ;)

In Danish there's the problem with the translation from Unreachable -> UtilgÃ¦ngelig - the letter "Ã¦" becomes some other char. But I would love for it to be "multilinguable" :) I'll think of something :)

Next two things on the todo-list is direct hex color choices and transparency color. But for now take a look at the <a href="http://www.esea.dk/esea/bos.asp">URL generator</a> - I've tested it during development, but there might be a slip up somewhere.

I think many admins would invite option to choose > colors in hex format so they correspondent with other visual elements of > forum; not that the name list is short :-) Well, I chose this way first as it was the easier one to implement quickly ;) I'm still new to PHP, so there are things I need to learn. I was actually thinking of making it possible to choose rgb colors in dec first, but I want to see if there's a smart way to do that. When I got that, I'll see if I can make some dec2hex conversion as well (there are propably code out there I can grab ;)) But right now I'll see to it that the text colors can be changed as weel - that has higher priority for the moment - as well as a URL generator (another idea I grabbed from Petrus) ;)
