Countdown Timer for your users

(inspired by this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107226)

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"
• Import the product .XML

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


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 "Yes" the timer will automatically be shown on the bottom of your sig, set to "No" will hide/disable the time display



Have fun


Update 1.10
[high]IF YOU UPDGRADE FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION, BE SURE TO UNISTALL THE CURRENTLY INSTALLED ONE BEFORE INSTALLING THE UPGRADE![/high]
(unfortunately all events will be lost)

• [FIX] Phrased the last three things that were not (Yes/No of the enable radio and main description)
• [NEW] Added Usergroup Permissions for the countdown!
  In the usergroupmanager it now has an area "User Countdown Permissions" where the admin can allow/enable or disallow/disable the countdown timer for each usergroup.

[high]If the usergroup permissions do not work, or even don't show up at all, you might need to rebuild the bitfield using this URL:[/high]

  $cdprofilefield = $vbulletin->GPC["countdownuserfield"];

  $cddata["enabled"] = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_enable"];

  $cddata["month"]   = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_month"];
  $cddata["year"]    = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_year"];
  $cddata["hour"]    = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_hour"];
  $cddata["minute"]  = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_minute"];
  $cddata["event"]   = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_event"];
  $cddata["overmsg"] = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_overmsg"];

  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield] = serialize( $cddata );
  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield . "_set"] = "1";
  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield . "_opt"] = "";

  $userdata->set_userfields( $vbuserfields );

The cleanup script is almost done....

fixed the no save problem for me!

Any way to use a javascript and make the countdown live so you can see it actulyl counting sown?

[slim cutty]

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile, datatype, product) VALUES ('countdownfield', 'hc_usercountdown_settings', '7', '0', '', 0, 0, 0, 'number', 'hc_usercountdown');;

after the hack wouldn't show I tried to re-install ... and got the message above. When I tried to unistalll it said that the plugin wasn't available... however it was in my database.

I can't uninstall this ... can someone help me out on which queries to run??? This hack has dissappeared from the plugin menu in my admincp; however, it still shows in edit options and I assume that remnants are still in the database.

*Edited
I figured it out... had to do the uninstalls manually... now it works just fine... thanks

help please! Thanks
