Countdown to Dates Plugin
 
Based on Sinclair's hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=40557

I modified it to make it a plug-in for 3.6 +

Usage:
Users enter the code [countdown]y,m,d[/countdown]

Example:
[countdown]2007,12,25[/countdown] Christmas!

ONLY ONE STEP: EASY!

Go to your admin panel and CREATE NEW PLUGIN.

- Hook Location: BBCODE_PARSE_COMPLETE

- Enter this code in the PHP code box:
Quote:
preg_match("/(\[)(countdown)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/countdown\])/siU", $text, $datum);

$dato=$datum[0];

$datr=explode(",",$dato);

$datr[0]=str_replace("[countdown]", "", $datr[0]);
$jahr=intval($datr[0]);
$monat=intval($datr[1]);
$tag=intval($datr[2]);
$stunde=intval($datr[3]);
$minute=intval($datr[4]);
$sekunde=intval($datr[5]);
$target = mktime($stunde,$minute,$sekunde,$monat,$tag,$jahr) ;
$todayo = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
$diff = ($target - $todayo)/86400;
if ($todayo==$target) { $out= "TODAY "; }
else if ($diff==1) { $out = "1 day until "; }
else if ($diff==(-1)) { $out = "1 day since "; }
else {
if ($diff>0) {
$diff=round($diff,0);
$out="$diff days until ";
}
if ($diff<0) {
$diff=round(-$diff, 0);
$out="$diff days since ";
}
}

$text = preg_replace("/(\[)(countdown)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/countdown\])/siU", $out, $text);
That's it! Now announce to your users they can use that code.

thanks.

Installed and working.

Just difficult to explain use as [countdown] still works inside [code]

Thanks

how hard you think it is to make this a vba module?

Floris 09-17-2007 05:59 AM
Small question, if I visit the thread where [countdown] has been used a few days later, will it then say instead of 14 days until October ... 12 days until october? Or is it a one time thing?

Floris 09-17-2007 07:05 AM
When I go back to the thread at a later time, it stops working .. it becomes plaintext again. I think this mod is super alpha, and hasn't been fully tested, I am sorry .. but I feel I have to uninstall it right now and wait a few updates before using it again.

El Burro 09-17-2007 07:34 AM
I'm uninstalling too.
Sorry it's no good if it doesn't keep changing the countdown.

looks a good prospect i just use the sig countdown timer at the moment but will use this if it gets sorted

thank you

Why isn't this a bb-code? That would fix a lot of issues, and I would install it if it was.

Check out /includes/class_bbcode.php (particularly the end) for some ideas. You would make this a function and add it to the bbcode_create hook (trust me, don't use the bbcode_fetch_tags hook -- it would conflict with many mods). Then use the 'external_callback' field to connect the function to your bbcode. Oh, and you will need to disable post caching (even in your current code).

Add to your bbcode function: $parser->options['cachable'] = false;
