I'm having trouble incorporating this with the Signature-Editor hack by Fryzid, link to sig editor.

I get java script errors and then can't use any of the buttons on the page.

Is anyone else using these together? Here's a link to my board where you can see first hand what the problem is. Go the edit your signature and then click "Preview Signature". You'll see none of the buttons work after that.

Link to my test board

This is the line I'm having trouble with but I don't see anything wrong.
Anyone see anything with this?

It's the signature preview bits - remove the signature preview section of the code and you will be fine.

tried to install this, and followed the instructions all the way through the thread. got errors in IE, the bottom Post Reply didn't work, and the text didn't appear for the countdown or countup.

very disappointing, seeing as this would have been very useful.

is there a way to just implant this in your own startpage instead of in a post?

i would like to add it in my page without anyone can use it :p

hi I love this hack and got it set up with no probs whatsoever a few weeks ago.
My members are well chuffed with it too - however my hosting comapny aren't - it isn't just the countdown my members use massive signatures for no apparent nor sensible reason

It has increased my bandwidth and the more members that have the countdown the more bandwidth that gets eaten up - some of them aren't satisfied with one countdown they have to have 2 or 3!!

someone mentioned earlier in the thread about moving it into a showthread instead of header template - is this easy? would it solve the problem? what other files/templates etc... would I need to change? Do i just drop the js that is in the header into showthread in the admin panel and what about new reply does this need attention too?

can you give me some more info on this please I love the countdown and really want to keep it but as my hosting company suspended my account due to using 10gb (how??) I need to start addressing some of these bandwidth munching monsters on my site.

Also does anyone know how I can restrict signatures to x characters? It is nay on impossible reading some posts now due to stupidly long signatures.

I have verbally requested a restriction but this of course is ignored!

TIA

I think this is too old a thread for a reply :( I'll give it a go myself and let you know if I destroy my board in the process :)

....no I don't trust myself after peering into the files I shall have to remove the hack for a day to see if it is the bandwidth culprit - my members will be gutted if they lose it altogether :ermm:

Anychance we can get this for VB3?

seriously I wouldn't bother unless it is out of the header_inc my site isn't huge (80,000) posts although a fair few attachments but it has used 20gb bandwidth so far this month and it isn't over yet. My hosting bill more than doubled when I put this hack on.

VB3 has the event reminder system built into the calendar - I am hoping for a countdown from calendar event that could maybe be displayed in profiles for example....does that sound do-able anyone??

cool Hack, click install thxxx, but *g*

i have a problem.

it happen can I that as Threadstarter a field empty would have (Countdown mode)?????

if I goes answer it however, only as Threadstarter have I often problem.

This works for vB3 as it is

OK, the script worked once for me, then never again. I have put the code at the bottom of my header_include and also tried with the code at the top of the body tag, however it shows the text and a blank white box below, what do I do, this is the code it outputs:

<Script language='Javascript'>
var rndNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000);
var tempString="May 4, 2005;Currently At WDW Now;BLUE";
tempArray=explodeArray(tempString,";");
document.writeln("<form name='form" + rndNum + "' action='javascript<b></b>:void(0);'>");
document.writeln('<font size=2 color="'+tempArray[2]+'">My Countdown to Disney World</font><BR>');
document.writeln("<input type=text value='' size=40 name='countdown'>");
document.writeln("</form>");
countdown(tempArray[0], rndNum, tempArray[1]);
</script>

Umm, is there a way to add years also???? when you get like 2450 days, it looks alittle weird.

This works for 3.0.7 Kevin you may want to rerelease as such.

Could anyone in the know tell me if i could use this for current vB, as i really want this BBcode, but not sure if it's completely different now?
