End-User Options - Countdown Timer in signature

This is a port of my vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer".
I had to change some parts of the install code to make it work with vB3.6, and here we go:

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

Installed and seems to be okay!! I had to save a phrase to, in order to get all the text to show up!!

This module works very well for me on 3.6.4. I did need to rebuild the phrases in order for it to display properly. It's also important to enable the countdown timer for each usergroup, as appropriate.

For the benefit of others trying to get this to work, be careful not to use the ampersand symbol (&) or quotes in the event name or end message, as this will cause the countdown timer to not display. And, of course, user's must have signatures for the countdown timer to display, too.

Additionally, you can get spaces in between the numbers and phrases (i.e., 15 hours instead of 15hours) by editing the necessary phrases.

A manual rebuild or simple resaving of any phrase will fix that (it does for me....)

Once i did this it worked perfectly

[Mum]

I installed this and thought it worked fine. However who's time frame does it use for the countdown? I set a countdown to something at 7pm tonight (which was 5 hours away), and it said 1 day 1 hour to the event. That's obviously wrong...

Nah, this dont work for me, i have installed it a few times and various different bits are missing, either text or options.

[Mum]

I have now uninstalled.

Thank you, had to do the phrase fix and now it's working great! Thanks for those who figured out how to fix that and for those who explained how to do that!
