Countdown (Forum, Sideblock, vBa CMPS, Multiple Countdowns)
Developer Last Online: Jun 2013 
Someone PM'd me last week asking for the code I use for my countdown sideblock. So here is the basic countdown (doesn't include the images/blurb that screenshots/demo show)
This countdown uses the users PC clock and calendar to count down to a time and date. What is it? A sideblock on your forum index to countdown to a specific date/event. 1. Upload the contents on the zip archive to your server. Keeping the file structure as is. countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js countdown/js/misc.js countdown/style/main.css Change the settings of the countdown/js folder to CHMOD 775 2. Go to AdminCP > Forums and Moderators > Forum Block Manager > Add Block Title - Countdown Description - whatever you want Content Type - HTML Content - <div></div> Template to use - block_countdown 3. Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template Title - block_countdown
Change this part to set the countdown target date
Save the block. 4. Go to AdminCP > Style and Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars > forum_sidebar_width and change the width to atleast 270px You can change the colour of the digits/text to suit your forum by changing references to #5C7099 in the main.css file If you are using vBOptimise go to AdminCP > vBOptimise > Flush Cache To have more than one countdown Create a new template called block_countdown2
Set the targetDate data and save For reference if making more blocks - (jq('#countdownX').countDown({ and <div id="countdownX"> are used to call additional countdowns). Create a new forum block in the same way as before but make the template to use: block_countdown2 To Display on vB Advanced CMPS - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=122 To show multiple countdowns on forumhome (screenshots) - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=158 If you want to add images/videos etc to your countdown all you need to do is add some basic code to the template. Search for </script><div> and after that you would add something like.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, upload the contents of the zip file and replace the template(s) you are using (ie block_countdown, block_countdown2, adv_portal_countdown etc). Set the targetDate. History 1.0.4 - Reverted back to using jquery-1.4.1.js 1.0.3 - Now using jquery-1.6.1.min.js and added noConflict to script 1.0.2 - Cleaned up code, added instructions to zip. Also instruction within thread on how to make CMS widget or have more than one countdown. If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so.

Gemma, I sold my old site and built a new one. Could you please direct me to where I can find directions on adding a image to the countdown as well as a small youtube player.
And if you are able to do that, would you mind sending me a PM explaining how much time might be involved in turning this mod into a plugin with some added features. I have a on going need for the use of this mod and I may be interested in paying you to do the above mentioned. Thanks! No members have liked this post.

Also, I'm not long out of hospital and I'm not looking at doing any coding any time soon However, anyone is free to use the code and make a plugin/product so you might have some luck by posting in the relevant request forums

Gemma, I appreciate your help. You have been great with the support you have given me each time I have needed it. I hope you are ok I saw where you mentioned of not being long out of the hospital. I installed the countdown using the instruction from reply #122 since I have VBAdvanced. However, in order to get it to work I had to search a lot to find the needed info. Changing the 1st line to read the 1.4.1 jquery.
Would there be any way to put all these necessary additions together? Like the image info you just provided for me. Either way thanks for your help! No members have liked this post.

Ok, you've got omitWeeks set as true.
Do you want to show the number of weeks or remove the weeks and just show it as days, hours, minutes and seconds?

For reference if you wanted to remove the weeks part entirely you would leave it set at true and then would need to replace this part of the code
With this
That would remove the WEEKS completely
