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

what i done to get text to show up is goto admincp/language phrases/phrase manager/ add phrase

type = global
product = user countdown
varname = usercountdown
text = usercountdown
add phrase

works for me

though it only works if you have a sig otherwise don't seem to show up

Not really painless. It's definitely not as simple as those two steps, and I couldn't get it to work. Gave up.
