Profile Enhancements - Countdown Timer in signature

Original Modification by Hellcat

Previous versions:
vB3.5.x "User Countdown Timer".
vB3.6.x "User Countdown Timer".

I have taken the original modification and simply edited templates to get it working with vB3.7.x

Note: I did not write the original modification so support of this release may be limited.

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"
• Upload "bitfield_hc_countdown.xml" to ".../forum/includes/xml"
• Import the product .XML

You may also need to rebuild your languages after the install.
This can be done by going to:
AdminCP - Laguages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Rebuild all languages

DONE
That's it.
No template edits, no nothing


Usergroup permission:
Go to -> AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> User Countdown Permissions


Members 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 "ON" the timer will automatically be shown on the bottom of your sig, set to "OFF" will hide/disable the time display.

Please MARK AS INSTALLED & NOMINATE FOR MOTM

Enjoy.

Hi
I have this intalled, it is enabeld in admincp, enabled in usergroup and also ive gone into usercp and put the time and date on and enabled it but nothing appears in my sig...

[x YNWA x]

Its ok, I put something in my sig and it works. Shame you actually have to do that to get it to work. Ill probably uninstall it and buy one that lets you include pictures, good mod though.

I would like to have it when the counter reaches the end it then set's the function to "Off".

Any idea's on how to do this ?

Modded the code slightly to add more fields which all work fine, now I would like an auto reset if possible.

Great Mod, Thank You For Sharing It. :up:

One Idea: It would be really nice also to be able to see the CountDown Information on the Member Profile on the Statistics Tab. And Perhaps to Allow the User to Choose where to Display the Countdown (On Postbit, On Profile, On Both Postbit and Profile).

My Best Regards.

[asking]

whats use of this mod ?

This Mod Can be Used as a Reminder for an Event of the User.


I'd Like to Share the Inclusion of the CountDown on the User Profile (If Someone knows a Better Way to do This would be Nice to Share it. ):


Step 1: Edit File plugins_usercountd.php and after that Upload it on the "includes" Folder, Overwriting the Existing File, (the one you Uploaded when Installed this Mod).

Include at the end of the File, before the Code ?> the Following Code:

// ********************************************************************** \\

if ( $THIS_HOOK == "member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped" )
{
    $cdfield = "field" . $vbulletin->options["countdownfield"];
    $query = $vbulletin->db->query_read( "SELECT $cdfield FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield WHERE userid='" . $userinfo["userid"] . "';" );
    $result = mysql_fetch_array( $query );
  
    $cddata = unserialize( str_replace( """, '"', $result[$cdfield] ) );
  
    if ( $cddata["enabled"] == "Yes" )
	{

	  require_once( "./includes/class_bbcode.php" );
	  require_once( "./includes/functions_newpost.php" );
	  $vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
	  
	  $eta = mktime ( intval( $cddata["hour"] ), intval( $cddata["minute"] ), 0, intval( $cddata["month"] ), intval( $cddata["day"] ), intval( $cddata["year"] ) );
	  $tremain = $eta - time();
	  if ( $tremain > 0 )
	  {
	    $t = $tremain;
	    $remain["days"] = intval ( $t / 86400 );
		$t = $t - ( $remain["days"] * 86400 );
		$remain["hours"] = intval ( $t / 3600 );
		$t = $t - ( $remain["hours"] * 3600 );
		$remain["minutes"] = intval ( $t / 60 );
		
		$counter = $remain["minutes"] . $vbphrase["countdown_minutes"];
		
		if ( ( $remain["hours"] != 0 ) OR ( $remain["days"] != 0 ) )
		{
		  $counter = $remain["hours"] . $vbphrase["countdown_hours"] . " " . $counter;
		}
		
		if ( $remain["days"] != 0 )
		{
		  $counter = $remain["days"] . $vbphrase["countdown_days"] . " " . $counter;
		}
	  } else {
	    $counter = $vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($cddata["overmsg"]), 'nonforum');
	  }
	  $event = $vbulletin->cdbbcode_parse->parse(convert_url_to_bbcode($cddata["event"]), 'nonforum');
	  
	}
}

Step 2: Create Plugin.

On Admin Control Panel (ACP) -> Plugins and Products -> Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped
Title: User CountDown - Block Statistics
Execution Order: 5
Plugin is Active: Yes
Plugin PHP Code:

$THIS_HOOK = "member_profileblock_fetch_unwrapped";

require( "./includes/plugins_usercountd.php" );

Click the "Save" Button to Save New Plugin.


Step 3: Edit Template "memberinfo_block_statistics"

Find at the End of the Template

$template_hook[profile_stats_last]

Before that Add:

<!-- Start User Countdown memberinfo_block_statistics -->

<if condition="$counter">

<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[countdown_title]</legend>

<strong>$vbphrase[countdown_counting_down_to]:</strong> $event <br />
<em>$counter</em>

</fieldset>

</if>

<!-- End User Countdown memberinfo_block_statistics -->

Step 4: ENJOY! That's It


My Best Regards.
