Countdown Timer in signature · **Released**: 06-13-2008

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.

See if that works.

Installed, worked for me also, thanks!

But like the others, not showing up in posts.

It is currently 7.47am, i set a countdown for 8am (just testing it out), and it says 'Counting down to: testing
16 hours 11 minutes'

it should be 11 minutes. Does this not use the users timezone? If it's using the server time zone then it's pretty useless isn't it?

How is this mod different from Howell's?

Is there anything we can do, so the we can bypass this one.
My forum users don't understand that.

I just put an actual period and colored it as close to the forum background as possible so that it showed.

But, it should be able to happen automatically without having to do that, I agree.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
