Hi! 


I want to update this code, but the header library words 'type and 
'platform are not valid for the submission script...
So, I post here.


REBOL [

    File: %ngbg.r
    Library: [

       platform: 'all
       type: [demo tool]

    Purpose: {Downloads the current picture of the day from nationalgeographic.com

saves it to a location of your choice. Directions: Change the 'filename'

The agrument -s causes it to be silent and so not print what step

Hi johnatemps

Looks to me like there are two problems here:

There are two library headers -- delete the one you don't want
You weren't the owner of this script. So you couldn't update it (but see below).

I'm not entitrely sure what we should do with unowned scripts, so I am about to make up an instant policy:

If a script has an owner, I'd prefer you to talk to them about changes to it -- they may accept your suggestions, or make you a joint owner so you can both change the script.
But that doesn't apply in this case, as the orginal owner has not come forward to claim the script.
Given that it has been orphaned for over six months, it seems reasoanble to me to give ownership to someone who wants to improve or correct it -- like creating a foster parent.

If the original owner does drop by later, we can:

give them ownership too -- a sort of shared parenting
Revert the script back to them (we archive all contributions so we can roll changes back if they want that.)

I've given you ownership. You should now be able to update this script.

Sorry for the earlier problems,

Sunanda.

Hi,


Using this url makes it possible to select the Picture of one specific 
date :


ngwebsite: to-url rejoin ["http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/cgi-bin/pod/wallpaper.cgi?day=" now/day "&amp;month=" now/month "&amp;year=" now/year - 2000]


Bye

HI ALL,
Does Rebol have an equivalent to HTML &lt;hr&gt; ?
Thanks.

The old url does not work for me. I changed two addresses:

ngwebsite: http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/cgi-bin/pod/PhotoOfTheDay.cgi


imageloc: join http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/pod/pictures/lg_wallpaper/ 
NameOfJpg

and it works again

I'm still a novice when it comes to ngbg.r. I just hope I could learn something more about it here. Thank you for sharing and please check out the link below and reach out to the best Auckland commercial cleaners if you have commercial cleaning needs.

I've seen a tutorial on youtube explaining how this code works but up to now I still get the hang of it. Anyway, thank you for posting this, and if ever you need an electrician in Greenwith or Golden Grove, please opt for Get Fused or see this link https://getfusedelectrical.com.au/greenwith-golden-grove/for more info.

Great Content. Link

You’ll also have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is safe for operation. The key to keeping your commercial truck suspension in top condition is regular mobile vehicle repairs.

If a script has an owner, I'd prefer you to talk to them about changes to it -- they may accept your suggestions, or make you a joint owner so you can both change the script.

I really liked your article , your article is very petrified me in the learning process and provide additional knowledge to me , maybe I can learn more from you, I will wait for your next article, thanks. appliance repair mt vernon

if you find yourself stuck on the side of the road someday soon (or even far into the future), don’t panic–just give us a call and we’ll be there to help you out fast.
