Black Friday @ GottaDeal.com Banners & Graphics

Recommended Posts

I would like one that has a count down counter for black friday. Anyone....

There was one last year that Brad put together and hosted. This is the direct link to it, but obviously last year's BF has come and gone, so it's just a generic image now.

Brad said he'd have one, but I'm still waiting :cheesy:

I was hoping for a countdown banner, though :)

Countdown banners probably won't happen this year. They have to be dynamically generated every time they are viewed, and with so many people on the forum this year, it's just not possible without potentially putting the servers at risk as things get busier. Sorry.

Since I'm a poor man with no real php skills, here's the solution I thought up for myself . . . maybe this could work:

Go to the bother of creating x number of graphics that are identical, except for the number of days remaining. Then just run a cron job at midnight every day that will copy the next graphic over. Taa daa! Sure, it'd be plenty of work to make all those graphics, but so is coding the php :)

New countdown graphics!

 

These are hosted on another server, so they won't affect the GD server if too many people use them.
