Thanks, bro! That took care of it!

I'm having a hard time getting it to work on my site. It should be counting down to New Years, but rather it keeps counting down to the end of Day Light Savings time. I'm very sure the event is ID 1 is for new years on my calendar

The only ID you can change is the $event_calendarid which should be set to the calendar id that you want countdown events to come from. Calendar ID 1 is most likely your default calendar. I would recommend creating a new calendar for admin view only which can contain only events that should appear in the countdown. Doing this allows you to include HTML in the title for pictures, formatting, etc. and prevents anyone else seeing what events you have set for a countdown.

When you select a calendar you will see the ID in the address bar of your browser...
/calendar.php?calendarid=1

Also, try to always have another event ready for countdown after the first event has reached zero. The code picks up the first two events and counts down to the first one, then starts the second event countdown.

The only count down I'd like it to do is from my default calender & from my Holiday Manager. It's pointing to a revolving event (new years, 1x each year, every year).

Do you plan on release a new version to which can be easily configured via The Admin Control Panel or would I always need to edit script code?

It's unlikely that I'll create a version that's edited via the control panel as creating a special calendar for events, with permissions set to admin view only, provides all the control you need without the need to visit the control panel.

Is there any way to have it show reoccurring events?

I don't think you can stop it showing recurring events. That's wrong it seems. Must be the way recurring events are stored using the first one as a seed; once the first one has passed there are no further entries in the database.

the calender only goes to 2010 ,u cant select 2011 yay we need bug killer here.

works good

You set the range of the calendar in AdminCP

Uninstalled

You currently have this modification tagged.

(I'll keep an eye on this and see if either the developer or another user developed this further. I like the idea, but not the requirements of having to make a "private calendar", always having to edit code, & it also does not fit my current simple needs)

I am not seeing anything in the forumblock. Do I have to put anything in the template to use?

It's just giving me a blank block. Any help would be appreciated!

Could it be that I'm using vBulletin 4.0.2?

How did you fix this? Ant time you post an event dew befour the one already counting done the cownt down id just blank.

cant get this this to work either - the widget box is showing but nothing within it. checked all the codes,templates and everything several times now no joy.
Shame would have been a useful mod

I think vB has just raped the code that this modification uses sadly.

Same issue

It was working, but no longer.

4.1 PL2

Works great for me. How can I change the showed time in a format like this:
dd:hh:mm:ss (dd:hh:mm:ss)

Example:
18:8:24:35 (dd:hh:mm:ss)

Thanks in advance.

anyone figure out why it showing just a blank box?
i am running 4.1.3
thanks

Have you changed the file path, when you amend the code:

<script src="scripts/eventcountdown.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

i had to change "scripts/eventcountdown.js" to

"clientscript/eventcountdown.js" as that was where i placed the .js

Also, has anyone figured out how to display more than one event as mine still only shows one eventhough i've amended the:

("SELECT eventid, title, dateline_from from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event WHERE calendarid='".$event_calendarid."' $and order by dateline_from ASC LIMIT 2"); to ASC LIMIT 5

Anyone having any luck with this.

Dam, was hoping someone took a look and got it working for the latest versions of vb.

The idea of this mod is perfect, any body can upgrade it ?

Regards,,

Hm. Forum block works perfectly, but the widget is just blank.

ANybody using this on vb 4.2?

ok, this is what I was looking for, but seems have some issue with multiple events...!!

I wish I know how to fix it... :(

Can anyone rework this mod?

The code is marked reusable. So if someone wants to tell me in detail what is not working and under what circumstances, I will take a look at it when I have the time. I can't promise anything because I haven't looked at the calendar code in awhile. Some code isn't fixable and I do not have the time to rewrite the whole modification.

I will try to fix the known issues, I will not be taking on support of the mod.

I cannot get this to function on my VB 4.2.1
The headinclude on my template is edited - path is correct to the .js file.

I've got the widget created
Widget Name = Event Countdown
Widget Type = PHP Direct Execution
Within the Configure area I have pasted the wall of code.

Forum Block Manager.
Name : Event Countdown
cache time - 1 minute
active : yes
type : php
content - ( I have the wall of source in there )

The problem is that the block on the forums page has no content in it.
Calendar ID is : 1

This would be very helpful but the mod doesn't work for me. If this gets reworked, I'd be very interested.

Does anyone have this working as a widget on 4.2.2? I would really love to use this but I can't seem to get it to work!

Keen to see this updated for 4.2.2

Hopefully someone can get it working

It works for me in 4.2.2 pl4. Setup the HTML "on" in the calendar option to help out ;)
Is there a way to translate the "weeks, days, hours" in french ??
Stuck on this one and as for the image with the heading, i can't get this to work :(

Just Installed and seems to be working on VB 4.2.2 PL4. Would like multiple events but for right now I will take what I can get.

This also is working on vBulletin 4.2.5. I would love to be able to display a countdown list of events as my site has more than one event on any given day.

Got this working myself in 4.2.5 Thanks!

However the only issue I have left to figure out is the time offset is wrong. I have my board and everything I can find set to CST -6 but the countdown is 6 hours off.

The work around I found is to set the time zone to GMT -0 in the calendar event, then the time is synced correctly.

Any idea's?
