Countdown Timer in signature
Mod Version: 1.3.00, by Howell (Coder) Howell is offline
Developer Last Online: Oct 2014 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

vB Version: 3.7.x Rating: (13 votes - 4.31 average) Installs: 180
Released: 14 Jun 2008 Last Update: 14 Jun 2008 Downloads: 857
Not Supported Uses Plugins Auto-Template Additional Files  

Original Modification by Hellcat

Previous versions:
vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer".
vB3.6.x "User Countdown Timer".


I have taken the original modification and simply edited templates to get it working with vB3.7.x

Note: I did not write the original modification so support of this release may be limited.

This little AddOn gives your users the option to show a custom countdown timer at the bottom of their signature.

Features:
  • Fully configurable via UserCP (see screenshot)
  • BB-Code can be used for eventname and overmessage
  • fully phrased/templated, nothing hardcoded and so fully customizable
  • leading days or hours with a value of "0" are not shown
    (so it shows "42minutes" rather then "0days 0hours 42minutes")
Installation:
Painless:
  • Upload "plugins_usercountd.php" to ".../forum/includes"
  • Upload "bitfield_hc_countdown.xml" to ".../forum/includes/xml"
  • Import the product .XML
You may also need to rebuild your languages after the install.
This can be done by going to:
AdminCP - Laguages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Rebuild all languages

DONE
That's it.
No template edits, no nothing


Usergroup permission:
Go to -> AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> User Countdown Permissions


Members Usage:
Go into your UserCP -> Edit Options
On the very bottom you will find the options for the Countdown Timer.
Set it to whatever you like, if "Enable" is set to "ON" the timer will automatically be shown on the bottom of your sig, set to "OFF" will hide/disable the time display.

Please MARK AS INSTALLED & NOMINATE FOR MOTM

Enjoy.

Count up's are vital.

Most of our users are expatriates, moving from one country to another.

Hence we would like count up events... and count down...also count since

I had to uninstall this product, it kinda blew my whole forum to errors, lots of SQL errors and such.

I installed on vB 3.7.1 PL2 and got this error:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/plugins_usercountd.php on line 190

and some threads I couldnt view and I got "Headers already sent" errors. I don't mean to be mean or anything, but this should be marked as "beta" :\

Installed the mod correctly, had to rebuild the languages - all files uploaded etc. - i've set the usergroup to just the one i'm in and i've set the timer to my birthday with it switched on, yet it doesn't show in my sig.. any clue why it might not? I already have an image in my sig - do I need to remove it?

okay sorry, it does work but it just doesn't show under my profile about me section and sig previews.

Is it possible to create images for this mod? I've seen other sites do it such as thedibb etc.

Same problem here, I've set permissions it's all OK I set the timer, but, nothing in my sig. Any reason why it might be happening? running the latest version.

See if that works.
Installed, worked for me also, thanks!

But like the others, not showing up in posts.

It is currently 7.47am, i set a countdown for 8am (just testing it out), and it says 'Counting down to: testing
16 hours 11 minutes'

it should be 11 minutes. Does this not use the users timezone? If it's using the server time zone then it's pretty useless isn't it?

Is there anything we can do, so the we can bypass this one.
My forum users don't understand that.

I just put an actual period and colored it as close to the forum background as possible so that it showed.

But, it should be able to happen automatically without having to do that, I agree.
