Counters

In cgi-bin, We have a modified version of Frederic TYNDIUK's version of the Basic Graphical Counter. To set it up, just add lines similar to the below in your html page

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/counter.cgi?counter=test&digit=2">
<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/counter.cgi?counter=test&digit=1">
<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/counter.cgi?counter=test&digit=0&w">

The result would be:
This did set a three digits counter named test. Use a name appropriate for your page and be aware that changing names would make the counter reset to 0. Also, be careful to use only one &w as the counter needs to be incremented only once on the lowest digit.

counter.cgi accepts the following parameters

Parameter name

Value

Effect

counter

Any (string)

Used to separate counters in classes. In the example above, all pages referencing counter=test if accessed, would share the same 'test' counter.

digit

(int)

The digit to display.

w

 

This parameter do not need a value. Its effect is to increment the counter and it needs to appear only once per page (in short, use an arbitrary name relevant to your page).
