Topic 188683

I thought there would be some website owners out there who wanted to be able to display online status of the boinc projects schedulers.

So I created this little script that does exactly that. It looks like this:

Now, Boinc Online Schedulers (BOS) version 0.3 is pretty much still an alpha version, but it looks to work pretty good.

All that's needed is to make an image tag on the page you want to display it at, like this:

It's updated every 5 minutes. Future plans for it includes:

- choice of projects to display
- choice of colors to use

Version 0.5 You now have two

Version 0.5
You now have two choices of how to choose which projects to display:
1) if you use the no setting on the parameters, you choose not to display those
projects, but any new projects added to the script will automatically be displayed
as well as the current ones you left displayable

2) if you use a yes setting on the parameters, you isplay only those projects
selected - any new projects added to the script will remain hidden
Example:
will
still display all projects supported - like this:

Please let me know if a color doesn't work - I'll propably make some typo's
here and there.
Next the textcolors will be changable - same color names ;)

Version 0.6 Textcolor is now

Version 0.6
Textcolor is now changable.
Parameters:
projectcolor: changes the color of the projects names

onlinecolor: changes the color of the "Online" text

downcolor: changes the color of the "Down" text

unreachcolor: changes the color of the "Unreachable" text
Still the colors are the names from O'Reilly's list.
Example:

looks like

And btw, if you misspell a color name, the script will revert to the standard
color.
Also fixed the height when using the yes value on project parameters.
Next I'll create an URL creator as the URLs can now potentially get tricky
- after that I'll look into direct RGB color changes (dec and hex)

Now it's gotten even easier

Now it's gotten even easier ;)

The URL generator is ready. Next two things on the todo-list is direct hex color choices and transparency color.

But for now take a look at the URL generator - I've tested it during development, but there might be a slip up somewhere.
