Original Modification by Hellcat

Previous versions:
vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer".
vB3.6.x "User Countdown Timer".


I have taken the original modification and simply edited templates to get it working with vB3.7.x

Note: I did not write the original modification so support of this release may be limited.

This little AddOn gives your users the option to show a custom countdown timer at the bottom of their signature.

Features:
  • Fully configurable via UserCP (see screenshot)
  • BB-Code can be used for eventname and overmessage
  • fully phrased/templated, nothing hardcoded and so fully customizable
  • leading days or hours with a value of "0" are not shown
    (so it shows "42minutes" rather then "0days 0hours 42minutes")
Installation:
Painless:
  • Upload "plugins_usercountd.php" to ".../forum/includes"
  • Upload "bitfield_hc_countdown.xml" to ".../forum/includes/xml"
  • Import the product .XML
You may also need to rebuild your languages after the install.
This can be done by going to:
AdminCP - Laguages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Rebuild all languages

DONE
That's it.
No template edits, no nothing


Usergroup permission:
Go to -> AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> User Countdown Permissions


Members Usage:
Go into your UserCP -> Edit Options
On the very bottom you will find the options for the Countdown Timer.
Set it to whatever you like, if "Enable" is set to "ON" the timer will automatically be shown on the bottom of your sig, set to "OFF" will hide/disable the time display.

Please MARK AS INSTALLED & NOMINATE FOR MOTM

Enjoy.

Yeah, I think it might also need to be changed to reflect the timezone a member has set, as opposed to the default board time. One of my members complained today that hers was 2 hours off - as per the time difference between board time and her custom-set timezone - and she had to set it with a 2 hour delay to be accurate.

I think going by some of the requests made on here sofar, people are more keen on graphical countdown tickers as opposed to just a basic text timer.

Something similar to the ones i paid to have developed: http://www.theparentingsanctuary.com...rTPS/index.php

I dare say they are a LOT more complex, though... you can also get premade scripts of a similar nature on the web for a set pricetag.

No idea if anybody on VB would be willing to go to that extent or not to get a similar outcome....
So you mean countup from an event( not countup to an event) - like its been x days since my birthday.
Why would you want to know how many days its been since the event?
Sorry not trying to be rude just curious.

Is there a way to get the countdown timer to show like this;
Month - Day - Year? Instead of Day - Month - Year? *Tagged*

Well you might want to ask my forum members this question, since most of them love using this format as well. I think its great to have a way to display how long you have been married for, how far along your pregnancy is, or how old your young son/daughter is etc.

Count up's are vital.

Most of our users are expatriates, moving from one country to another.

Hence we would like count up events... and count down...also count since

I had to uninstall this product, it kinda blew my whole forum to errors, lots of SQL errors and such.

I installed on vB 3.7.1 PL2 and got this error:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/plugins_usercountd.php on line 190

and some threads I couldnt view and I got "Headers already sent" errors. I don't mean to be mean or anything, but this should be marked as "beta" :\

Installed the mod correctly, had to rebuild the languages - all files uploaded etc. - i've set the usergroup to just the one i'm in and i've set the timer to my birthday with it switched on, yet it doesn't show in my sig.. any clue why it might not? I already have an image in my sig - do I need to remove it?

okay sorry, it does work but it just doesn't show under my profile about me section and sig previews.

Is it possible to create images for this mod? I've seen other sites do it such as thedibb etc.

Same problem here, I've set permissions it's all OK I set the timer, but, nothing in my sig. Any reason why it might be happening? running the latest version.
