#482 New release counter for fedora.next websites
Closed: Won't fix / Can't fix 6 years ago Opened 9 years ago by robyduck.

We actually have two release counter scripts on the webpages.
Internal release counter which is just a small script
External release counter, works with JS
Both rely on a huge work of the design team, because we need for every release about 30 banners in several languages and they really take a lot of time to produce them.

We should think about a new release counter and should only need one image (in several sizes?) from the design team; the rest could be done with a script and shouldn't be too difficult for the counter on the fpo webpages.

The more difficult part will be the external counter, and although we shouldn't break the links people placed on their blogs, local community websites etc. I fear we need to do so. It would be a good moment to change the link when the counter will be for the first time on the new fedora.next webpages (F22 Beta), so let's aim that target.

If anyone is willing to work on this please get in contact with the websites team first to figure out which could be the best solution and how to perform it.

A small final note: [https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Countdown OpenSuse] is already using a similar solution, maybe it is useful to start working on it.


@robyduck we don't do release counters anymore, do we?

can we close this one off?

We don't have release counters anymore, right. The idea was to make a new one, with just one image, but I don't know if we have a place where to add it other than in the downloads page of each edition or spin. So, not sure if this is still usefull or not.

We have no concrete plan to show a release counter on the websites. If we decide to have one in the future, we can reopen this or file a new ticket.
