Hi everyone, I had the previous version of this hack running, and users were complaining of it not working quite right? They would fill out their details for the countdown, and then save it, but the countdown would not show??? They had something in their signature feild, so that was not the problem?

The details for the countdown would not even save in the edit options page. For example, see the screen shot after you submit your countdown, it's blank??

I thought I'd upgrade to the latest version of the countdown, but that did not fix the issue, I un-installed the last version, re-installed the new version, and the same problem??

It's like it's not storing data somewhere? The edit options page fields remain blank after submiting and the countdown is not showing up??? I've gone throught the uninstall/re-install process 3 times and no luck??? Any advice on how to fix this???

I love this hack and would love to get it back up and running again! TIA!

Hm. I've had this installed for a while, but didn't notice it until now. The time seems to be off by 2 hours. What could be the cause of this?

i've just installed it but it doesn't appear anywhere........ what have i missed??

the same is happening to me.. I installed it some weeks ago and nothing happened.. :tired:

glad it's not just me!

can someone enlighten us please?!?!

works fine, needs a bit playing :)
pressed install! thanks to Hellcat for this useful siggi-addon

1) follow the instructions howto install it
2) make your own siggi at least one char length
3)Update in your usergroupmanager the bitfields by checking out at least one group (registered users e.g.)!
4)Give the permissions to use it for registered users and admins (apply in options of the usergroup in the usergroupmanager), because default is NO.
5) enable display signatures in your usercp and in one of your posts by checking
the option "display signatures in post"

The you're done!

I am in the Admin CP and trying to Import the bitfield_hc_countdown.xml file.

I get this message after clicking Import button:

Invalid File Specified

I have tried importing via the "upload the XML file from your computer" way and also used FTP to upload the file to the ./includes/xml/ directory and used the "import the XML file from your server" and both ways I get the error message Above.

This is with version 3.6 RC1

Any ideas? Or maybe this doenst work with 3.6 RC1? :surprised:

is there a way to set it so that, after 24 hours of the event, the countdown removes itself from the sig?

so for instance you don't have "it's my birthday" there for weeks (i know you just go and disable it, but it'd be cool if it did it itself).

any news of this one being upgraded for 3.6?

Can you post the correct code for putting a space between the number and the words? 10 days, 9 hours, 8 minutes for example.
