Countdown (Forum, Sideblock, vBa CMPS, Multiple Countdowns)
![]() Developer Last Online: Nov 2023 ![]() ![]()
Someone PM'd me last week asking for the code I use for my countdown sideblock. So here is the basic countdown (doesn't include the images/blurb that screenshots/demo show)
This countdown uses the users PC clock and calendar to count down to a time and date. What is it? A sideblock on your forum index to countdown to a specific date/event. 1. Upload the contents on the zip archive to your server. Keeping the file structure as is. countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js countdown/js/misc.js countdown/style/main.css Change the settings of the countdown/js folder to CHMOD 775 2. Go to AdminCP > Forums and Moderators > Forum Block Manager > Add Block Title - Countdown Description - whatever you want Content Type - HTML Content - <div></div> Template to use - block_countdown 3. Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template Title - block_countdown Code:
<li> <div class="block smaller"> <div class="blocksubhead"> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a> <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span> </div> <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer"> <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow"> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript"> var jq=$.noConflict(); jq(document).ready(function() { jq('#countdown').countDown({ targetDate: { 'day': 19, 'month': 7, 'year': 2011, 'hour': 23, 'min': 59, 'sec': 59, } }); }); </script> <div> <div id="countdown"> <div class="dash first weeks_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash days_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Days</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash hours_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Hrs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash minutes_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Mins</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash seconds_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Secs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="underblock"></div> </li> Code:
'day': 19, 'month': 7, 'year': 2011, 'hour': 23, 'min': 59, 'sec': 59, 4. Go to AdminCP > Style and Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars > forum_sidebar_width and change the width to atleast 270px You can change the colour of the digits/text to suit your forum by changing references to #5C7099 in the main.css file If you are using vBOptimise go to AdminCP > vBOptimise > Flush Cache To have more than one countdown Create a new template called block_countdown2 Code:
<li> <div class="block smaller"> <div class="blocksubhead"> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a> <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span> </div> <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer"> <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow"> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript"> var jq=$.noConflict(); jq(document).ready(function() { jq('#countdown2').countDown({ targetDate: { 'day': 00, 'month': 00, 'year': 0000, 'hour': 00, 'min': 00, 'sec': 00, } }); }); </script> <div> <div id="countdown2"> <div class="dash first weeks_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash days_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Days</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash hours_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Hrs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash minutes_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Mins</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash seconds_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Secs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="underblock"></div> </li> For reference if making more blocks - (jq('#countdownX').countDown({ and <div id="countdownX"> are used to call additional countdowns). Create a new forum block in the same way as before but make the template to use: block_countdown2 To Display on vB Advanced CMPS - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=122 To show multiple countdowns on forumhome (screenshots) - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=158 If you want to add images/videos etc to your countdown all you need to do is add some basic code to the template. Search for </script><div> and after that you would add something like. Code:
<img alt="" title="" src="URL TO YOUR IMAGE" width="150" height="225"><br/><br/> <iframe width="240" height="160" src="EMBEDDED YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/> </div> History 1.0.4 - Reverted back to using jquery-1.4.1.js 1.0.3 - Now using jquery-1.6.1.min.js and added noConflict to script 1.0.2 - Cleaned up code, added instructions to zip. Also instruction within thread on how to make CMS widget or have more than one countdown. If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so. Download Now

Updated the demo link in first post.
I've also tested this using the latest jquery and didn't run into any problems running either a single countdown or multiple countdowns. If you want to run it with the latest jquery replace this part of the template edit: Code:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jquery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script> Code:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script> |

Gemma, I sold my old site and built a new one. Could you please direct me to where I can find directions on adding a image to the countdown as well as a small youtube player.
And if you are able to do that, would you mind sending me a PM explaining how much time might be involved in turning this mod into a plugin with some added features. I have a on going need for the use of this mod and I may be interested in paying you to do the above mentioned. Thanks! |
