BB Code Enhancements - Countdown BB Code

Description

This is a countdown hack that allows users to put a custom countdown using BB Code.

Example:

[countdown=12/31/2020 5:00 AM;It is finally here]Count down:[/countdown]

The countdown will count down till it reaches the date then it will show the text in the option after the date. The param is the text before the countdown.

The date is in the format of m/d/yyyy h:mm AM.
m is for month.
d is for day.
y is for Year with 4 digits like 2008 not 08.
h is for the hour.
The last m is for minute and needs to be 2 digits.
The AM can be AM or PM.

Features


* Processing is done by Javascript.
* There can be multiple countdowns on a page without effecting the other countdowns on the page.

It's actually called 'headinclude' - however as per my messages above, if you install it you have to refresh every time you send a message. I am waiting for a fix, i advise you to do the same until it's fixed!

Version 1.1 has been released and includes the fix. Make sure to reupload all the files including the mod in the Admin CP.

You are supposed to upload the xml file by
Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product] -> Then browse for the xml file and press upload.
