Profile Enhancements - Countdown Timer in signature

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.

Just installed on 3.8. After a quick read of the posts/replies in this thread, fixed all the problems, and it seems to be working beautifully!

Any way to remove the "My Countdown" text along with the block around the countdown?

Same here. Im having the exact same problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Does this mod work with the hack that makes it so your signature only appears once on a page?

You can edit the actual phrase ....

AdminCP >> Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases

...then, type the word 'countdown' in the search field and then search for the $vbphrase[countdown_title] or "My Countdown" phrase and change it to whatever you'd like to. But, to remove it altogether, you'd probably have to search through the products and/or php file for that and remove it. Good luck :up:

Sure change your usercountdown_display from

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[countdown_title]</legend>

<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>

</fieldset>

to

<br>:<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>
