Countdown Timer in signature

[Howell]

Original Modification by Hellcat (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=35034)

Previous versions:
vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107596).
vB3.6.x "User Countdown Timer". (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=118109)

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 .XMLYou 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 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=182480) & NOMINATE FOR MOTM (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=nominate&threadid=168992&type=1) :p

Enjoy. :)

Nice Complete mod!

[Fırtına]

Thanks :p

[Zeb Zoober]

Seems to be a problem with the text in the admin and user options. It is also not showing up as my sig even after settings have been set. Using vB 3.7.1 pl1

[Howell]

Try going to:

AdminCP - Laguages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Rebuild all languages

See if that works.

That did the trick. Working fine now. Thanks. Had a request for countdown timers just a few days ago on our forum. This fits that need perfectly.

Okay :up:

Could you please Mark as Installed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=182480)

Excellent ill be able to use this to let users know when my modification officially goes on sale. great.

Timber marks Installed and launched.

Can we have an option for styling please ?

[RedTrinity]

Hi Howell,

I have just installed this - uploaded the files as instructed, uploaded the xml in the ACP, but this is the result I get... even after rebuilding all languages :confused: Using 3.7.1.

There is also no fields for it at all in Usergroup permissions :S

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Did you install to forum/includes?

In admincp, did you goto uergroups, click example: admin and rebuild bitfields.

Perhaps in admincp, logout, and back in.

Thanks TimberFloorAU, turns out the files to upload to forum/includes didn't actually upload when they were supposed to, as I had other files from last night still queued in my FTP program :rolleyes: That'll do it!

All good now, working well :) Many thanks :D

Great stuff :D

Having a wee problem in that its appearing twice in my sig :confused:
-------------------------------------
My Countdown Is........ Counting down to: Going on holiday
1 Select number days 23 Select hours 46 minutes


My Countdown Is........ Counting down to: Going on holiday
1 Select number days 23 Select hours 46 minutes

Also the text is slightly wrong

My Countdown Is........ Counting down to: Going on holiday
1 Select number days 23 Select hours 46 minutes

[RedTrinity]

no wukkas.

Great site btw :)

Cheers Olly :D

I just had an idea for a request actually, maybe the option for the member to upload a small personal pic to add next to the countdown?

Styling would also be great, as Olly has suggested earlier :)

[leannet]

I keep getting this error

hey, I have installed as you said but the Countdown table is empty at the UserCP:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/06/30.jpg

Is there any way to fix this? I'm using 3.7.1 patch level 1.

I have never experienced that error message before.

You will need to enable the mod in Usergroups.

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

[Bounce]

Got my issue sorted :D

[Howell]

Oh yes hIBEES sorry forgot about your issue!

How did you fix your problem so I know for future?

[ramsayeg]

Howell, thanks for the quick answer. While I was able to see the countdown menu in the UserCP, there's still a weird error...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/06/29.jpg

Can't seem to see any text in the menu.

[Howell]

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

[hdrmut]

How the user can Edit conutdown ?

[Howell]

Follow as per instructions.

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.

Thank you for your reply that helps alot :)

[TimberFloorAu]

Styling:

Font/Color/Icon

Perhaps a choice of icons, in a radio button list.

Such as a :
Birthday Cake
Xmas Tree
New baby
Aeroplane

Etc etc.

Be more personal then.

Our users love the countdown.

Can it be configured as a count up?

ie: countup to an event.

28 days 17 mins 32 seconds till we go on holiday

etc etc

Ozzy

[leannet]

thats still a count down isn't it.


How do u count up to an event?

[RedTrinity]

thats still a count down isn't it.


How do u count up to an event?

Easy... so for example "X years, X months and X days since X event". A birthday, an anniversary, etc.

I think going by some of the requests made on here sofar, people are more keen on graphical countdown tickers as opposed to just a basic text timer.

Something similar to the ones i paid to have developed: http://www.theparentingsanctuary.com.au/tickerTPS/index.php

I dare say they are a LOT more complex, though... you can also get premade scripts of a similar nature on the web for a set pricetag.

No idea if anybody on VB would be willing to go to that extent or not to get a similar outcome....

[msalman]

there seems to be problem with counting down the exact time. I select 1 hour and 0 second and it says 33 minutes till your count down event.

One of our old sites, which we should revamp, tickertag.com has a good mix of counters.
Will try to see if we can hack this to a countup event to..

[Bounce]

Oh yes hIBEES sorry forgot about your issue!

How did you fix your problem so I know for future?

For some reason the double posting... it added a code to postbit_legacy althou this might have been from a previous install, I reverted postbit_legacy and that sorted it..

To fix the "Select" days Issue I had I edited the phrases countdown_days and countdown_hours which had the text of "select"

again this may have been from the previous install..

All is well now and I thank you for porting this to 3.7 as my users love it :up:

[Alexvanleeuwen]

Strange everything works, but i cant see the timer in my sig??

[ArnyVee]

This would be perfect for our site! Folks counting down to a vacation to Disney especially.

An icon or some sort of small pic would be great. In my case I'd use a little Mickey or something. But, for birthdays we could use a little birthday cake as someone suggested.

I'm going to watch this mod as it will be something for me to add in the near future once (if) these little 'customizations' can happen. :D

Great job!

[ArnyVee]

I decided to test this mod out and found a quirky little thing. It wouldn't show unless you had something (I put a period) in the actual signature. If you had a blank signature, the countdown wouldn't show. Is that a bug?

No this isn't a bug. :)

vB doesn't show a signature block unless there is something set to show in the signature options. ;)

[ArnyVee]

Interesting. Then just something I have to make sure that my members understand. :D

Most of them have some sort of something in the sig, so I won't have many issues at all. Thanks Howell!

[newtsys]

nice hack thanks =)

[RedTrinity]

there seems to be problem with counting down the exact time. I select 1 hour and 0 second and it says 33 minutes till your count down event.

Yeah, I think it might also need to be changed to reflect the timezone a member has set, as opposed to the default board time. One of my members complained today that hers was 2 hours off - as per the time difference between board time and her custom-set timezone - and she had to set it with a 2 hour delay to be accurate.

So you mean countup from an event( not countup to an event) - like its been x days since my birthday.
Why would you want to know how many days its been since the event?
Sorry not trying to be rude just curious.

[Darkstarproject]

Is there a way to get the countdown timer to show like this;
Month - Day - Year? Instead of Day - Month - Year? *Tagged*

[RedTrinity]

Why would you want to know how many days its been since the event?
Sorry not trying to be rude just curious.

Well you might want to ask my forum members this question, since most of them love using this format as well. I think its great to have a way to display how long you have been married for, how far along your pregnancy is, or how old your young son/daughter is etc. :)

[TimberFloorAu]

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

[Canto]

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" :\

[smooth-c]

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?

[smooth-c]

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.

[BigDog56]

Try going to:

AdminCP - Laguages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Rebuild all languages

Installed, worked for me also, thanks!

But like the others, not showing up in posts.

[Mum]

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?

[Finster]

How is this mod different from Howell's?

[drsli]

Awesome! Thank you very much! :)

[BigDog56]

still not working, clicks 'Uninstall"

[car20]

Installed.
thanks

[Fred.]

No this isn't a bug. :)

vB doesn't show a signature block unless there is something set to show in the signature options. ;)

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

[ArnyVee]

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.

[car20]

tanks ,
but i cant see any timer at my signature !!
i ,
1- uploaded files
2- import xml file
3-rebuild all language
4-set for admin user group
5-set to on at editoption and set to one day

[jlew24asu]

can I add this to my homepage (CMPS) instead of signature?

[Ohiosweetheart]

Interesting. *tagged*

[zelnik]

Having similar problems as a couple of other people in that the countdown timing is all wrong.

It adds 8hours to what would be the correct time for the countdown to finish!

Any ideas as this mod is used a fair bit already on my site or was until people noticed! :(

I'm sorry but I didn't write the original code for the countdown. I simply got it working with vB3.7.x

Not much help, sorry. :(

[Scott77]

excellent thanks :)

[towermatt]

I put this on but it really doesn't work on a board with international people. It uses the board time and not the individual members time, that makes it way off.

So sorry to uninstall this :(

[BullTaco]

Very nice....downloaded and installed!

Thank You

[apiasto]

great hack thnx is it possible to have a choice to have it any where like on main forum n so on.i have seen it on ipbh boards.if it is possible than great. and thnx

[realmr]

whats the real use of this countdown timer in signature ? If it could into forum post we could use it for polls

[ArnyVee]

realmr, we use it for counting down to the next Disney vacation for someone or the next birth of a child or important event. Just an example of what we use it for. :D

[maestrodamuz]

I think this mode should be sent to the graveyard:down:

[ArnyVee]

Why would it be sent to the mod graveyard?

Does it not work for you?

[zelnik]

Why would it be sent to the mod graveyard?

Does it not work for you?

Because I believe unless you're lucky to be in the timezone the app was wrote for then the timings are all out...

I made a 7 day countdown timer and it added 8 hrs to the time it should have finished.

[ArnyVee]

Oh, I see.

Thank goodness that I haven't had any issues with my folks complaining from different areas of the world.

Does anyone know of any other options for a countdown like this where the timezones do not affect it?

[ascender]

Installed and working, thanks for the mod :)

[WiseOne38221]

Did all was supposed to do, rebuilt and all...go into UserCP, set it and it doesn't keep on. Go back to look and it is blank again...

[Wunderlust]

Anyone get it working? if a user fills in the fields it does not seem to save it to the database and when they update it again it is blank!

Any ideas as to a fix for this?

[Wunderlust]

Bump - Anyone get this fixed?

[CyprusTM]

i installed and all, chose a event to count down to, but it does not display it in my sig.

[Nadeemjp]

this is cute:)
thanx.
installed:)

[ArnyVee]

i installed and all, chose a event to count down to, but it does not display it in my sig.

I had the same problem until I put a period in the signature field. The countdown needs something to 'prompt' it to working. So, a simple period (in the same color as your background to mask it, of course ;) ) would let it work.

I hope that helps. :)

This one is still working on my 3.7.1, but I haven't tested on my 3.7.3 forum. SA_TGAZ, which version of vB are you running?

[kpierce]

This works fine for me and my "test" account and some others but one member can't get it to work. Why would that be? She's a supermod and it works fine for another supermod so it's not a problem with the whole usergroup. I've messed around with it and am stumped.

cool od but one problem i set the permissions and only i (moderator ) can see the sig other users cant see there own sig :confused:

[Cigarcritic]

Great ad-on. :up:

Adding the text below to the readme would have saved a lot of trouble shooting.
"You must rebuild Languages and have Text in your sig to see the counter."

I did rebuild the languages but i never got a Usergroup in the ADmin

[x YNWA x]

Hi
I have this intalled, it is enabeld in admincp, enabled in usergroup and also ive gone into usercp and put the time and date on and enabled it but nothing appears in my sig...

[x YNWA x]

Its ok, I put something in my sig and it works. Shame you actually have to do that to get it to work. Ill probably uninstall it and buy one that lets you include pictures, good mod though.

[stuartn]

I would like to have it when the counter reaches the end it then set's the function to "Off".

Any idea's on how to do this ?

Modded the code slightly to add more fields which all work fine, now I would like an auto reset if possible.

[Megatr0n]

Anyone got it working for 3.8?

[inciarco]

Great Mod, Thank You For Sharing It. :up:

One Idea: It would be really nice also to be able to see the CountDown Information on the Member Profile on the Statistics Tab. ;) And Perhaps to Allow the User to Choose where to Display the Countdown (On Postbit, On Profile, On Both Postbit and Profile). ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

[asking]

whats use of this mod ?

[inciarco]

This Mod Can be Used as a Reminder for an Event of the User.


I'd Like to Share the Inclusion of the CountDown on the User Profile (If Someone knows a Better Way to do This would be Nice to Share it. ;)):


Step 1: Edit File plugins_usercountd.php and after that Upload it on the "includes" Folder, Overwriting the Existing File, (the one you Uploaded when Installed this Mod).

Include at the end of the File, before the Code ?> the Following Code:

// ************************************************** ******************** \\

if ( $THIS_HOOK == "member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped" )
{
$cdfield = "field" . $vbulletin->options["countdownfield"];
$query = $vbulletin->db->query_read( "SELECT $cdfield FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield WHERE userid='" . $userinfo["userid"] . "';" );
$result = mysql_fetch_array( $query );

$cddata = unserialize( str_replace( """, '"', $result[$cdfield] ) );

if ( $cddata["enabled"] == "Yes" )
{

require_once( "./includes/class_bbcode.php" );
require_once( "./includes/functions_newpost.php" );
$vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$eta = mktime ( intval( $cddata["hour"] ), intval( $cddata["minute"] ), 0, intval( $cddata["month"] ), intval( $cddata["day"] ), intval( $cddata["year"] ) );
$tremain = $eta - time();
if ( $tremain > 0 )
{
$t = $tremain;
$remain["days"] = intval ( $t / 86400 );
$t = $t - ( $remain["days"] * 86400 );
$remain["hours"] = intval ( $t / 3600 );
$t = $t - ( $remain["hours"] * 3600 );
$remain["minutes"] = intval ( $t / 60 );

$counter = $remain["minutes"] . $vbphrase["countdown_minutes"];

if ( ( $remain["hours"] != 0 ) OR ( $remain["days"] != 0 ) )
{
$counter = $remain["hours"] . $vbphrase["countdown_hours"] . " " . $counter;
}

if ( $remain["days"] != 0 )
{
$counter = $remain["days"] . $vbphrase["countdown_days"] . " " . $counter;
}
} else {
$counter = $vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($cddata["overmsg"]), 'nonforum');
}
$event = $vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($cddata["event"]), 'nonforum');

}
}



Step 2: Create Plugin.

On Admin Control Panel (ACP) -> Plugins and Products -> Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped
Title: User CountDown - Block Statistics
Execution Order: 5
Plugin is Active: Yes
Plugin PHP Code:

$THIS_HOOK = "member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped";

require( "./includes/plugins_usercountd.php" );

Click the "Save" Button to Save New Plugin.


Step 3: Edit Template "memberinfo_block_statistics"

Find at the End of the Template

$template_hook[profile_stats_last]

Before that Add:

<!-- Start User Countdown memberinfo_block_statistics -->

<if condition="$counter">

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[countdown_title]</legend>

<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>

</fieldset>

</if>

<!-- End User Countdown memberinfo_block_statistics -->

Step 4: ENJOY! That's It


My Best Regards.

Any way to remove the "My Countdown" text along with the block around the countdown?

[PinkDaisy]

Same here. Im having the exact same problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?

[edytwinky]

Does this mod work with the hack that makes it so your signature only appears once on a page?

[ArnyVee]

Any way to remove the "My Countdown" text along with the block around the countdown?

You can edit the actual phrase ....

AdminCP >> Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases

...then, type the word 'countdown' in the search field and then search for the $vbphrase[countdown_title] or "My Countdown" phrase and change it to whatever you'd like to. But, to remove it altogether, you'd probably have to search through the products and/or php file for that and remove it. Good luck :up:

[ryancooper]

Any way to remove the "My Countdown" text along with the block around the countdown?

Sure change your usercountdown_display from
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[countdown_title]</legend>

<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>

</fieldset>

to

<br>:<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>

I'm getting this message as well and have temporarily disabled the plugin. I see these error reports but no fix. Has anyone solved this problem?

I also see it was reported and someone suggested a fix (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1760811), but that didn't help.

Running 3.8.2.

I keep getting this error
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/plugins_usercountd.php on line 190

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

Getting this error message in the header of our forum......HELP!!!
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/plugins_usercountd.php on line 190

Bump... tried installing fresh, with the suggested fix (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1761412&postcount=5), still the same problem as before (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1874382&postcount=121).

Any chance of an update for vb4?

I do not have the user countdown option in my usergroup manager.

Thoughts?

Does anyone know if this is out for vb4
