Description

This is a countdown hack that allows users to put a custom countdown using BB Code.

Example:
[countdown=12/31/2020 5:00 AM;It is finally here]Count down:[/countdown]
The countdown will count down till it reaches the date then it will show the text in the option after the date. The param is the text before the countdown.

The date is in the format of m/d/yyyy h:mm AM.
m is for month.
d is for day.
y is for Year with 4 digits like 2008 not 08.
h is for the hour.
The last m is for minute and needs to be 2 digits.
The AM can be AM or PM.

It's installed and working. I put the countdown code in my signature. It shows up fine with "preview signature" but doesn't show up in my posts. Any ideas?

Thanks for the neat little mod!

Sorry, put the wrong template in the instructions. Did you add the code to your headinclude template?

I figured out the problem. I have another countdown mod in a CMPS module. I'll sort out the code and make it all work together. Thanks again!

Where do you upload the files you say to upload? Do we upload the entire folder called "clientscript" or just the java file?

There is a folder called upload that you upload to your main forum directory.

This is very kewl I have been looking for something like this! I just have one question. I placed this in my signature box and it works fine when I am posting a thread or reply using the New Thread or Post Reply buttons. However if I use the quick reply box it does not show and bottom of browswer window says "done but with errors on page." If I refresh the page the timer then shows in my signature area and no error is noted in the browser window. Do you know why this happens or have a way to fix that minor issue?

Yeah I know about the issue but currently going through some crazy times at my website. When it starts to cool down again, I will fix it.

kewl I look forward to the fix...hope things settle with your site soon Let me note however that even with this minor error I am THRILLED to have this countdown and love how we can have more than one at a time. Many of my members are mothers of more than one child and now they can countdown to each ones birthday instead of just the next birthday! Thanks again!
