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

This worked for me and I am also running 3.6.4 and had blank spaces the first try. Thanks for the tip!!

What would be nice though is for it to be visable even if someone don;t have a signiture..

Any ideas how i could move the settings into its own settings page though? say for example, to move it to a "my countdown" page under Edit Options menu?

Hi,

I had the same "no phrases showing" problem to. I just rebuilt the phrases and that did the job for me on vb.3.6.4. Works like a charm now. Very nice hack:up: .

Which xml file do I upload because you've got F'in two.

[Frimon86]

I get errors:

Warning: require(./includes/plugins_usercountd.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions_user.php(362) : eval()'d code on line 3

Warning: require(./includes/plugins_usercountd.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions_user.php(362) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/plugins_usercountd.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/i9host/public_html/forums/includes/functions_user.php(362) : eval()'d code on line 3

Every feature but the options and profile in the user section doesnt work. When I move this weird mod, I dont get the error any more.

I have uploaded this mod twice...
Went to user CP; "edit options"
nothing there at all..
Now if i go into the ACP under usergroup options, I have a field with not text as someone mentioned earlier... a tic for yes or no... not sure what it is though...
Ive looked up and down in the user cp.
What gives on this one?
I cant ever seem to get a mod to work right the first time anymore..


*UPDATE*
for those that do not get this to work, go back and read all the articles first!
You have to reset the phrases, turn the countdown in the usergroups that you want to use the counter on, plus go into your user CP under edit options and turn it on there.

hi

i dont know why but not all the registered users can get their signature countdowns to work

for some it works A-ok and for others it just shows an empty countdown box
while for other nothing at all

i dont know what to do - ive looked at all the permissions and everyting and its all correct, unless i missed something

could u suggest something that i may be doing wrong?

Sorry but this hack was a waste of time. Tried all the suggestions above and nothing UNINSTALLED.
