christmas logo for your website

[kante]

I'd like to share this idea I had for changing the logo of a website during
a holiday period:

just adding some Rewrite directives in a .htaccess with time conditions...
so no need to worry about overwriting the logo but just produce a new logo and decide previously the time period it should be changed.

The code:
#CHRISTMAS LOGO
#FROM 10 DECEMBER TO 31
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} >09
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} <32
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} >10
RewriteRule ^{img/logo_common.png$} /img/logo_xmas.png [L,NC]

#FROM JANUAR 1st to 6th
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} >00
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} <07
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} <02
RewriteRule ^{img/logo_common.png$} /img/logo_xmas.png [L,NC]

It works fine, just some improvements i'd like to add:
Actually I'd like to join the two conditions sets in one only but I idn't realize yet how to do it, and also
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} <=07
seems not working so the hard part understanding numbers related to dates....

Any comment?

trouble:

if i use in my thunderbitd client a html signature with a tag image
with src pointing to the path of the image redirected by my .htaccess

i can display signature logo image at composition time.

But once the mail is delivered the receiver will not see the image....
any idea?

with a thunderbird version 8 + windows xp , no problem

the problem happens only with thunderbird 8 + win7

😕
dunno who's the guilty.... OS or mail client?

I'm not sure if this is specifically what you're asking about - if not, please explain a little more.

Most email clients (thunderbird, outlook, etc.) will block images (from external websites) in emails by default. This is a security measure. Individuals may decide to change their email client settings (allow images, block images, allow images from certain domains only, etc.), but you (as the email sender) cannot do anything to influence this.

Thanks for your answer but it is not my problem.

I can see my image correctly in my email when i'm writing the email. But once the email has sent
seems that thunderbird instead of sending the html colde as it is. It attaches the image to the message and modifies the html in some thing like this
<img src=3D"cid:[e-mail]"

this works properly if no .htaccess redirect applied on server side

but once I redirect requests on that file on the server the image won't be displayed on the reciever message.(it's seen like a broken link not a block image to be displayed by athorizing remote content via email client)
