Countdown Timer for your users

(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]

[UncoderMom]

[UncoderMom]

I think the problem is somewhere in here...

Someone wanna take a stab? The mod just says that it cant be redistributed with out giving credit. LOL doesnt say we can fix it if its broke.

PHP Code:

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

if ( ( $THIS_HOOK == "profile_updateoptions" ) AND ( $permissions["hc_usercountdown"] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp["hc_usercountdown"]["canusecountdown"] ) )
{
  $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array( "countdownuserfield" => TYPE_STR,
                                                 "cdsettings"         => TYPE_ARRAY ));

  $cdsettings     = $vbulletin->GPC["cdsettings"];
  $cdprofilefield = $vbulletin->GPC["countdownuserfield"];

  $cddata["enabled"] = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_enable"];
  $cddata["day"]     = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_day"];
  $cddata["month"]   = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_month"];
  $cddata["year"]    = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_year"];
  $cddata["hour"]    = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_hour"];
  $cddata["minute"]  = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_minute"];
  $cddata["event"]   = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_event"];
  $cddata["overmsg"] = $cdsettings[$cdprofilefield . "_overmsg"];

  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield] = serialize( $cddata );
  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield . "_set"] = "1";
  $vbuserfields[$cdprofilefield . "_opt"] = "";

  $userdata->set_userfields( $vbuserfields );
}

I don't think $vbuserfields is used anymore, however I'm not a coder so I could be wrong. I'd like to see this work in 3.7.x too, but it probably needs a complete rewrite.

[tandy]

It work fine for me with vb 3.8 rc1 without any modification.

[DanTHEGREAT]

It doesn't work with vb 3.8 rc2!! @_@

I've uploaded and installed this and I'm using vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 2; it looks like everything is done right, but it's not showing up under "edit options" in the user control panel. Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?
