Ok after facing some of the same problems most users experienced we took everyones suggestions an added something to get it to look and work a little better.

I made a couple of changes to the plugins_usercountd.php

INSTALLED AND TESTED ON VB 3.67PL1 Corrected php file is attached at the bottom

The fields are the width of the phrase and you cant see the day, month or year unless you change the text to something other than day, year or month.


Find:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["day"];

Replace with:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["Select a Day"];

Find:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["month"];

Replace with:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["Select a Month"];

Find:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["year"];

Replace with:

$profilefield["title"] = $vbphrase["Select a Year"];

Find:

for ( $i = 2006; $i <= 2010; $i++ )

Replace with:

for ( $i = 2007; $i <= 2010; $i++ )

Save the file and upload the files as in the original instructions and then import the modified plugins_usercountd.php file. If you already have this installed then select to overwrite.

Goto admincp/language phrases/phrase manager/ add phrase

type = global
product = user countdown
varname = usercountdown
text = usercountdown
add phrase


In order for this mod to show you MUST go to the Manage User Groups and edit each group you wish to have access to this feature. It is located at the very bottom of the User Group Permissions. And each user must go to their UserCP and enable the countdown timer and have a signature enabled (it can be simple text but I suggest you add a couple <BR><BR> to give a few spaces between you signature and the countdown timer)

Enclosed are 3 screenshots of what it should look like in the UserCP, Group Permissions and the forum signature. I also included the fixed php file. <-- did not know if it was ok to do that and if not admin will remove I am sure.
