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.

Hi Howell,

I have just installed this - uploaded the files as instructed, uploaded the xml in the ACP, but this is the result I get... even after rebuilding all languages Using 3.7.1.

There is also no fields for it at all in Usergroup permissions :S

Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you install to forum/includes?

In admincp, did you goto uergroups, click example: admin and rebuild bitfields.

Perhaps in admincp, logout, and back in.

Thanks TimberFloorAU, turns out the files to upload to forum/includes didn't actually upload when they were supposed to, as I had other files from last night still queued in my FTP program That'll do it!

All good now, working well Many thanks

Cheers Olly

I just had an idea for a request actually, maybe the option for the member to upload a small personal pic to add next to the countdown?

Styling would also be great, as Olly has suggested earlier
