countdown vb code

1 Attachment(s)

I've seen several countdown hacks, but they all seemed like way too much. here's a simple countdown vb tag for ya. It requires 1 template edit.

the countdown tag displays the number of days until or since a given date. It displays the date by default but has the option of giving the day a name. it's smart enough to handle the date in many formats like Feb 27 2003 or Feb 27th 2003 or Feb 27, 2003 or February 27th, 2003, or .... ah you get the point

:s Sounds nifty - I've installed. But I'm not getting anything. I've added both "countdown" vBcodes as you stated and added the ...function... to the java tags in showthread template...

Maybe I'm not using it right?

what do yo mena youa re getting nothing? blank post or you can see the tag and it isn't doing anything

Rose	02-28-2003 01:12 PM

I see nothing in the tags. I may be using it wrong, but i enter the following in a post:

Quote:

Test
[countdown]January 1 2004[/countdown]

I see the "test", obviously, as it's not in tags. But beyond that I see nothing. however, I'm unsure of whether my method of using the tag is wrong. Should it be something like:

[countdown=january 1 2004]January 1 2004[/countdown]

?

no, you have it right but it sounds like the vb code is off. I'll check and see if i missed something. In the meantime, I changed it to a textfile. maybe it will work for you now

I'm getting a runtime error when I post (with the code)

Nice! Installed.

Any ideas on having it count minutes and possibly seconds as well? If needed, it could use only the first minute/second of that day, OR a specific time if that would be possible.

Usage could be: January 1 2004 14:01

I would like to suggest a mod for this , how about having the countdown appear in sig lines using public calendar events for the persons birthday.

I think it's possible , but have no idea how to do this.

Okay I am working of 3.0.0 RC2... in the showthread there is no :
// -->
</script>

So where do I edit the showthread file on the 3.0.0 RC2?

Thanks!!

in showthread template find

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools">

                <a href="#threadtools">$vbphrase[thread_tools]</a>

                <if condition="$vboptions['usepopups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadtools");

add below the code as mentioned in the file. ignoring the //-->

and carry on following instructions .

It "should" work .. all of mine do

it's not a php file -> it's a template in the admin cp

ashley53680

01-20-2004 09:29 PM

Okay... I am in the admincp... and I only have these options...

_vit_cnf
control_examples
importers

The rest are php files...

Another question... the code is working fine... however is there anyway to switch from how many days.. to years, months, & days? (like some things say 730 days, I find that confusing to figure out! :lol: )
