Forum Block

I'll do that but in the meantime just change the number 2 at the end of this line...

("SELECT eventid, title, dateline_from from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event WHERE calendarid='".$event_calendarid."' $and order by dateline_from ASC LIMIT 2");

...to the number of events you want picking up.

The JavaScript can handle many events.

What's Forum Block? I only started using vBulletin a week or so ago and I'm not completely familiar with it yet.

Thank betts02. I assume then that you wanted multiple countdowns to be displayed. The script only shows a single countdown to the next event. Once that has been reached it starts the countdown to the second event. If the visitor arrives at a page with the countdown running a few seconds before zero then once zero arrives the second countdown will start. This is the reason for picking up 2 events. I'll look at allowing for multiple countdows to be show, say the first one from each calendar.

Be great in the forum block if you can do mate

[betts02]

What i wanted if possible is for this in a forum block

Shows events 1-5

Event 1 shall be on countdown
Event 2-5 shall be shown

As soon as event 1 has been and gone, It removes the event and places event 2 on countdown

Then event 6 shall become event 5 and be shown

[JohnKF]

Noted. Suggest you have a quick try of it as it stands so that you can see how an event countdown is show regarding width for an event that's a few weeks off.

Also I forgot to mention another slight change you can make...
In the widget PHP code find 'ywdhms' which appears twice. This sets which units appear in the countdown. The default is to show a countdown in Years, Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

You can pick which units are shown, so for a seconds only countdown you should just need 's' and for Days, and Minutes it would be 'dm'.

Tried it in a forumblock and it just messes all my forums up

Thanks ..

Hey buddy,

You're missing an ob_start at the front of this script. Recommend you add it in, otherwise the block will break the script that started before it as well as itself.

[ahmedipa]

nice one thank you very much

The script works fine in the forum block area if you add:

ob_start();

at the beginning of the php script.
