Gudday.

I stopped using classic seti@home in September, just after I got enough credits for my 2500 workunit certificate. Since then I've been boincing away, and obviously this work hasn't been credited to classic seti, so no improvement in order for me to get the next certificate.

Does anyone know what will happen re workunit certificates with boinc? I can't see any mention of them anywhere. I found them really nifty, and something that kept me interested in the project, plus it's something good to cover the cracks in the wall ;-)

That's not such a bad idea. I also liked the certificates at seti classic. At least I knew, how much work I have to do to get the next certificate. I think boinc should also have something like that.

There have been a few discussions about doing this from time to time. Most everyone seems to think it is a good idea but noone has had time to do it.

I think it should be a part of BOINC. The projects would supply a background image, logo image and signature image. Possibly multiple background images for different levels.

That would allow easier setup for the various projects. It would also provide a standard certificate for people like me that participate in multiple projects.

At least one team has made their own certificates. I'm sorry I don't remember which one.

If the current Problem is time I could spent some of mine, but i need some templates how to produce pictures with php. Has anyone seen the templates of the Seti Classic Certificates?

EDIT: Thanks for the Code Snipet i will try it today but i think i need a big background image with some Seti Stuff on it or so. After writing this i browsed some Pages and found interresting wallpapers so lets see what i can create out of these.

It's very simple. You use an image as the background. Set it by using the imageCreateFromPNG function. Replace PNG with JPG if you prefer that format.

To write the appropriate text over the image use imageString function.

Here is a very simplistic example:

$image=imageCreateFromPNG("mypicture.png");
$red=imageColorAllocate($image,255,0,0);
imageString($image,10,20,20,'text to print over the image',$red);
imagePNG($image);
imageDestroy($image);

Hope this helps.

Team OcUK have created their own certificates, which are also available to everyone.

However the site is down at the moment as it is being significantly upgraded.

It should be back up and running in the new year. You can visit it at TeamOcUK

I may be wrong here so will stand corrected.

I do believe that the Boinc team are more interested in 3rd party sites creating and distributing stats etc.. So unlike the old seti classic I do not think that you will see any major stats site or certificates etc coming from the 'official' source.
