So to unistall, remove via product manager, remove Includes/plugins_usercountd.php and includes/xml/bitfield_hc_countdown.xml files and then reinstall everything.

I didn't have a signature showing before the install and only added one after I installed then read the full thread :(

Help.. help

phew, got it working, deleted the product, removed files then added text to my signature, made a test post, saw sig visible, upped files again, reimported product and hey presto all working fine.

Please help me. I followed the instructions 100%. Now, the product is not showing up in the Installed Products list. And I have 3 of the slots in my profile. Yet, I cannot seem how to UNINSTALL this completly from my board? I got some SQL error a while ago. HELP!

Hello, I got everything installed; except something is not correct when I went to User Control Panel/Options

This is what it shows

Im not sure what it is

That thing really screwed my SQL Database, you might need to fix it! :ermm:

How do I delete it completely? Or does that mean I have to reinstall Forum?

Well I found how to fix it and SQL Database works better now, To the people who have SQL Database, this might help you

Go to Admin
User Profile Fields - User Profile Field Manager

Delete the Countdown, it will tell you that it has error but keep deleting all until you got them deleted, then your SQL Database will work as normal.

It worked for me. Hope this helps.

Wonderful. Mention in readme that you need to edit usergroups because at first i was like.. hmm that didnt work

@cbr929rrerion:
Try this (worked on my board):
Open the plugin "Usercountdown - Save Settings" and replace the complete contents with this:

The cleanup script is almost done.... ;)

Thanks Hellcat that fixed it.. working perfect now..

Just one question, I want to change the way its displayed in the sig, like add breaks and maybe change font, where do I go to edit that part..

Thanks...

In your style manager locate the template "usercountdown_display" and edit it to your needs :)

awesome, done deal.. looks great

Does this work for 3.5.4???

Cant seem to get it working????

Ta,

Hanif

Should have no probs on 3.5.4.
Did you edit the usergroup permissions?

What exacltely doen't work?

Thanks for getting back in touch HellCat,
Ive edited it for the Usergroup, and said 'Yes' or enabled it, however, cant see it anywhere in the Signature options.

Kind regards,

Hanif

Thanks for the great plugin Hellcat,
Just have one request/question about timezones ...

When setting up a countdown it doesn't seem to take into account the members timezone.
eg I set up a countdown that should have shown 30 minutes, instead I got 14 hours and 30 minutes.

I get this error, when i try to import the xml- product file.
Duplicate entry 'countdownfield' for key 1

Does anyone know why, and how i can fix this?

I'm not getting it for some reason.

I uploaded the plugins_usercountd.php file to my includes directory, then went into the Admin CP > Plugin System > Manage Products > Add/Import Products, and uploaded the product-hc_usercountdown110.xml file.

I went to my User CP but nothing shows up. What have I done wrong? (Apologies - I'm new to VBulletin).

Also, how does clicking Install on this thread affect my plugin? I don't see how it can.

Works fine on 3.5.4 btw. It is slowing my board down a bit as I have a pretty busy board. Wish there was a way to speed things up a bit. Any ideas?

Hi Dano, if the slowdown is due to one extra query per post, you could speed up your board by decreasing the number of posts shown on a page..

Have that cleanup script yet? :)

can u have more than 1 countdown?

[high]* Jordan17 installs (Installation 101 ;))[/high]

fixed the no save problem for me!

Any way to use a javascript and make the countdown live so you can see it actulyl counting sown?

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile, datatype, product) VALUES ('countdownfield', 'hc_usercountdown_settings', '7', '0', '', 0, 0, 0, 'number', 'hc_usercountdown');;

after the hack wouldn't show I tried to re-install ... and got the message above. When I tried to unistalll it said that the plugin wasn't available... however it was in my database.

I can't uninstall this ... can someone help me out on which queries to run??? This hack has dissappeared from the plugin menu in my admincp; however, it still shows in edit options and I assume that remnants are still in the database.

*Edited
I figured it out... had to do the uninstalls manually... now it works just fine... thanks

help please! Thanks

i tried to install this and now i have this in the users CP.

anyone have any ideas how to remove this? also the plug in is not listed in the "manage plug ins" page.

since installing this, and then uninstalling this i get this error, when i attempt to edit a users profile. I checked in the User Profile Field Manager and there is no "field 35" to be found. how do i correct this? thoughts?

Is there a way to get this to show in a vb block? I tryed adding it to my /modules directory and adding a php block but no go.

Is there a version this for vb 3.5.4? It seems as though this doesn't work for it because I have tried installing it and I dont see it.. Thanks.

It works. The check usercp / options but, you must have something in your sig I think.

I currently have a signature and when I go to Edit Options in the Miscellaneous section I don't see anything.

Hasnt worked for me! No options in Edit Options for me to make timer with.

Set up usergroup permissions?

Great hack! TY very much!!

installed

The Timer is great, but it doesn´t look so fine togehter with the signature.

There is a black line, then the signature, then, without a space, the border with the timer inside. It´s too much different stuff, different fonts and so on.

I love the border so I think about ... how could I remove the black line and put the signature inside the border also? Then everything is inside the border, that would look nice.

I tried it out but I have no clue. Any suggestions, where to look for?

Best wishes, Julian!

LOOOL!!! :D


Hellcat thanks for the nice modification. It's always nice to see such orignal and creative ideas! Thumbs up! Will probably install when I get over my database & hosting problems. Btw how many queries does this add? (No time to look at the code, sorry)

nice hack!
Would like to see a version for the forum home page, to place a countdown to an especial event on the forum.

Like:
Countdown to: Vin Diesel VideoChat on the forum
(i used this example cause I have an entertainment forum)

I'm new to vb, and tried to install this on 3.5.4 and it didn't work.

So I uninstalled, and tried to reinstall. Now I get this:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks!

noob

Yooohooo!

Finally....
I just upload an updated version of the countdown timer!

There are no changes to the countdown itself, but I completely replaced the install/uninstall code to perform cleanup actions during install!

If you have a messed up install or you are unable to (re)install or even uninstall the coundown, download the new version 1.12 and import it with "Allow Overwrite" enabled.

During install the product will now perform a cleanup, removing all remains of a previous installation, including left over install/uninstall codes that may cause problems, before doing the actual installation.
