Looks like the css file is missing, did you upload the files correctly?

Hi Gemma,

the countdown works perfect!

Is there any way to make it timezone specific?

Sorry, I haven't been able to make it timezone specific but this might be helpful, instead of using the targetDate command use targetOffset. So using the example code below, the countdown would be set to expire for everyone in 5 days, 4 minutes and 15 seconds (from when going live) - not sure if that would be helpful?

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Set the Countdown
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('#countdown').countDown({
targetOffset: {
'day': 5,
'month': 0,
'year': 0,
'hour': 0,
'min': 4,
'sec': 15
}
});
});
</script>
If you want to use that method of countdown just replace this part of the code

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#countdown').countDown({
        targetDate: {
            'day':      19,
            'month':    7,
            'year':    2011,
            'hour':    23,
            'min':      59,
            'sec':    59,
            }
    });
});
</script>
And set the countdown to suit your needs.

Sadly I can't get the widget to even show up in the CMS. I have several custom widgets though most aren't used all the time. When I add this one no frame even shows up. That in itself kind of concerns me. Any ideas why it wouldn't even show up? Running 4.1.5

Savage Circuits 09-23-2011 10:36 PM
I found that if I just use the default name for the widget the frame shows up, but not the icon and I see, "{vb:raw widget_title}" above the counters which all read 00. But that proves there's something wrong in the other widget which prevents it from even being used. I have all three .js files the CHMOD of 775 and the css files all where they're supposed to go.

FYI, if you just download the zip in post#19 you do not get all the files needed it seems.

Yes, I'm aware of that but since this isn't a CMS widget I never added them to the OP zip. I linked to them in case anyone wanted to adapt it to be a CMS widget and because someone a few posts above #19 requested it.

As for your widget not showing up, have you created the vbcms_widget_countdown template? You also need to add the widget to your grid layout and you may need to clear the CMS cache.

Savage Circuits 09-23-2011 11:39 PM
Apologies...I did not create the template. I pasted the code into the widget. =( Okay, we'll try again.

Savage Circuits 09-24-2011 12:17 AM
Okay, I got it working! Thanks for all your help!

Thanks Gemma but that didn't work either. Every time you would load the page, the countdown would start back at 5 days, 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

Your countdown is just damn sexy not to use! :o :D The countdown timezone timers I found on Google are fugly. lol

Gemma 10-01-2011 01:54 PM
I'll have a look when I get some free time during the week :)

aberg 10-01-2011 06:38 PM
Sorry but I'am stuck on the widget:

Configure the new widget
Enter Static HTML - <div></div>
Template Name - vbcms_widget_countdown
Save
Please do you have a example what I needed to do here?
Thank you!

AdminCP > vBulletin CMS > Widgets > Create New Widget (then fill in the details)

Widget Type - Static HTML
Title - Countdown CMS Widget
Description - blah blah

Save. Next click the configure option in your newly created Countdown CMS Widget.

In the Enter Static HTML code box put the following - <div></div>
In Template Name put - vbcms_widget_countdown

Save. Then click Clear the CMS Cache in the sidebar menu.

The only other thing I was able to come up with was setting the standard time as Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) which isn't much use either :(

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#countdown').countDown({
        targetDate: {
            'day':      31,
            'month':    12,

            'hour':    23,
            'min':      59,
            'sec':    59,
            'utc':    true
            }
    });
});

Remove this part from the vbcms_widget_countdown template

Code:
<h3><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/countdown/style/countdown.png" alt="" /> {vb:raw widget_title}</h3>
Or, if you want the clock image but not the title just remove {vb:raw widget_title}

No real update, all I've done is added additional instructions on how to create a widget for the CMS and how to add more than one countdown to the OP.

Another thing that can be done using the code is creating more than one countdown on your forum index page (forumhome).

By creating a table, using the basic countdown code and calling countdownX, countdownY and countdownZ I've been able to create 3 separate countdowns. (see attached)

Live demo - http://www.forumbanter.com/forum/

Hi

I just installed the mod and I thought it worked perfectly but then I realised all the widgets on the right side of the Home page had been moved to the left side of the screen.

Did I do something wrong or is this an issue with 4.1.7

Gemma 10-12-2011 10:06 PM
Can you send me a link to your site please, also what did you install - the forumblock or CMS block?

Trevor Matthews 10-12-2011 11:00 PM
Sorry, I installed the cms part and created a widget to go on the forum home page. I added it to the left of my three home page columns. All of the widgets that should be in the right side column are all displayed on the left :D

I deleted the widget but I could add it back in for a little while tomorrow if you wanted to see the problem.

Trevor Matthews 10-12-2011 11:04 PM

Did you upload the contents of the sidebar_countdown1.0.2.zip too? (those files are required)

Trevor Matthews 10-13-2011 08:34 AM
I actually did upload those but wasn't sure if I needed to.
All the files are in a folder called countdown.

I will try a screenshot for you.
Thanks.

For the CMS widget? Replace the countdown_cms.css contents with this, should fit nicely into a 240px block. (though the font is a little small for my own liking)

You can play about with the css file (possibly change the font-family and some of the padding to suit)

Code:
#countdown {
        height: 42px;
        padding: 2px 0 2px 0;
}

.dash {
        width: 19px;
        height:38px;
        float: left;
        margin-left: 12px;
        padding-left: 12px;
        border-left: 1px solid;
        position: relative;
}
   
.first {
        margin-left: 18px;
        padding-left: 0;
        border-left: 0;
}

.dash .digit {
        font-size: 1.3em;
        font-weight: bold;
        float: left;
        font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
        color: #5C7099;
        position: relative;
}

.dash_title {
        position: absolute;
        display: block;
        bottom: 0px;
        right: 0px;
        font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
        font-size: 8px;
        color: #5C7099;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        letter-spacing: 0px;
}

Hi Gemma,
First up... Excellent mod, Works great!

I did search and read most posts and didn't see this mentioned, so I appologize if it's already been asked and answered.

Is there a way of dropping the "WEEKS" altogether and changing the display to
DAYS | HRS | MINS | SECS

i.e. instead of 4 weeks, 6 days, 3 Hrs, 45 Mins, 10 Secs
it would display as... 34 Days, 3 Hrs, 45 Mins, 10 Secs

Doing it this way would allow for a narrower column without losing any real detail.

8-)

.

Gemma 10-14-2011 08:11 AM
Try this,

In the template replace the <script> part with something like this (ie add the omitWeeks part)

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $('#countdown').countDown({
        targetDate: {
            'day':      00,
            'month':  00,
            'year':    2011,
            'hour':    00,
            'min':      00,
            'sec':      00
},
        omitWeeks: true
                });
});
</script>
Then replace this part of the template:
Code:
<div class="dash first weeks_dash">
                <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
            </div>
            <div class="dash days_dash">
                <span class="dash_title">Days</span>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
            </div>
With:
Code:
<div class="dash first days_dash">
                <span class="dash_title">Days</span>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
                <div class="digit">0</div>
            </div>
And save.

You might need to then play about with the css file to fix .first as it probably won't be aligned properly, this will differ depending on the block width you are using but try changing the margin-left value.

Code:
.first {
    border-left: 0 none;
    margin-left: 17px;
    padding-left: 0;
Hope that makes sense :confused::erm:

Thanks Gemma,

That works perfectly! :D

Attachment 133883

That's with a 230 sideblock, which will work on my CMS as well and I can still get it smaller with some minor font & dash changes. :up:

Looks good. The only thing I don't like about your screenshot is the fact that Battlefield 3 is released in Australia before the UK :p

Haha, the funny thing is... I've ordered it from OzGameShop (half the price of Origin) but they're based in the UK... so I won't have it til a week after release. :(

Hi Gemma,

When you say "By creating a table," am I correct that you create a single template that includes the code for all 3 countdowns wrapped within a table?

Then make the appropriate block or widget that uses that template?

Looks like I've missed a couple of closing </div> tags, add </div></div> to the bottom of the vbcms_widget_countdown template and see if that helps.

pantani 10-15-2011 05:38 PM
Nope, did not help :(

Don't think it's </div> tags, I get the same thing whenever I try to add anything containing javascript to the cms home page.
I've tried adding it as a widget, Article, Static HTML, Direct php AND by adding the javascript to the footer (as per the forum/wgo instructions).

If I remove the javascript then it displays correctly.. but obviously doesn't function.

ATM I'm trying a different approach... I created a php page containing 3 countdown timers laid out within a table etc. (including the javascript). When I call this page directly the 3 countdown timers appear as they should and functioning correctly.
The plan is to create a PHP Direct Eval and call this page using a php "include" ... but I'm struggling to get this to work in a PHP Direct Eval page, actually, I'm struggling to get anything to work with the CMS's PHP Direct function.

I've removed support for the CMS widget just now, can't figure out why it has suddenly stopped working.
