Countdown Timer for your users · **Released**: 02-09-2006

(inspired by this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107226)

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

Update 1.10
[high]IF YOU UPDGRADE FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION, BE SURE TO UNISTALL THE CURRENTLY INSTALLED ONE BEFORE INSTALLING THE UPGRADE![/high]
(unfortunately all events will be lost)

[FIX] Phrased the last three things that were not (Yes/No of the enable radio and main description)
[NEW] Added Usergroup Permissions for the countdown!
In the usergroupmanager it now has an area "User Countdown Permissions" where the admin can allow/enable or disallow/disable the countdown timer for each usergroup.

[high]If the usergroup permissions do not work, or even don't show up at all, you might need to rebuild the bitfield using this URL:[/high]

Jeordie015 · #**136** 06-10-2006, 10:08 PM

lucky123, did you upload plugins_usercountd.php to the includes directory?

lucky123 · #**137** 06-10-2006, 10:14 PM

no and this is where I know must have messed up

Where is the includes catagory (in the cp admin?).
I just uploaded the file into the pluggin section.

gonecountry · #**138** 06-10-2006, 10:26 PM

No you need to upload to your forums directory then includes via FTP or your host control panel. Good Luck!

www.yoursite.com/forums/includes or something similar

lucky123 · #**139** 06-10-2006, 10:26 PM

Oh I missed that folder labeled "upload to includes directory"
I had to FTP it.

O.k so I had a blond moment (no offense anyone)

gonecountry · #**140** 06-10-2006, 10:35 PM

LOL glad you straightened it out. Now I hope someone has an answer to my problem!

lucky123 · #**141** 06-11-2006, 03:10 PM

It works and my users are using it but in my CP panel log here is the errors I am getting now...
[Sun Jun 11 09:58:40 2006] [error] [client 68.142.250.136] File does not exist: /home/lucky123/public_html/404.shtml

I looked for this file but could not find it. Is it a necessary file???

Also this error which never showed before either.
