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

I don't see anything. I've installed this and there isn't anything showing up in the users Options!

I use 3.6.8

Go into your ACP -> Search for phrases

Search for Countdown then you will find several empty phrases.
Another way to find all containing phrases in this mod is to open the xml file in a editor like dreamweaver, note ++.
Then search in ACP for it and fill it yourself. As I reconized you need some patience for this mod

Just making sure this doesn't get lost

lol, yeah I guess you could say this mod has a learning curve but it does work. (I have it running fine on 3.6.8) Probably not the best mod for a newbie to start out with but if you get Mtalks1's edited file attachment and follow his instructions from page 8 of this thread, you should be able to get it working.

Also...
If you don't mind a little editing (what the heck at this point right?) you can make it look a little better in the UCP by adding text and spaces to userfield_countdown in your User Profile Fields Templates. See attached...

Anyone who does have clue how to let this work in the profile?

1 thing missing in the install txt

we are all noobs don't forget
