Countdown Clocks!

[TheNiceVoice]

Greetings!

I am interested in implementing the option for users to add a customizable countdown clock to their signature. I've seen another vbulletin where they allowed users to customize these clocks in the user CP.

Anyone gotta hack?

Thanks in advance!

Here ya go. You might have to play with this. I've never tried it, but a friend of mine has it working on his board.

WOW!!!!!

THAT WAS FAST!
Thank you SO much!!! :up:

I just hope you can get it to work. I tried, out of curiosity, and it just tells me my ship has sailed, no matter what I do. :ermm: There was a mistake in the usage format. Remove the slash....

/countdown.php?month=xx&year=xxxx&day=xx&hour=xx&mi n=xx&sec=xx

Something like that....

Can any of you PHP gurus help with this? It's probably something simple I'm missing. Not that I need it, but now I'm curious, since I couldn't get it to work right on my test server. I know for a fact this countdown works. I'd give you a link to the site using it, but I'm afraid people would start using it from their server, which they wouldn't appreciate.

To get this working....

Change...

//Requires GD.
//Use this format, or similar....
//countdown.php?month=xx&year=xxxx&day=xx&hour=xx&min=xx&sec=xx
 
 
<?php

to...

<?php
 
//Requires GD.
//Use this format, or similar....
//countdown.php?month=xx&year=xxxx&day=xx&hour=xx&min=xx&sec=xx

... and then try something like the following....

http://www.yourdomain.com/countdown.php?month=11&year=2004&day=06&hour=15&min=00&sec=00

Hello

What exactly user should put on their signature to make it work?

[Musicpill]

i doubt this would work in signatures because you need to enable PHP in signatures (thinks)
Or if you enables PHP in sigs, that would be easier, but its more risky.

It would be a little complicated but you could do this with a php include and a few custom profile fields.

Enable PHP in signatures? Not needed. Insert an image, and paste the URL to the php page (http://www.yourdomain.com/countdown....&min=00&sec=00) as the image source. That works for me.
