Anyhoo - Let's Get started.

*************
STEP ONE
*************
Open count.js from the js folder

Change these lines below to match the event you are counting down to:

var month = '*'; // 1 through 12 or '*' within the next month, '0' for the current month
var day = '26';   // day of month or + day offset
var dow = 3;     // day of week sun=1 sat=7 or 0 for whatever day it falls on
var hour = 0;    // 0 through 23 for the hour of the day
var min = 0;    // 0 through 59 for minutes after the hour
var tz = 10;     // offset in hours from UTC to your timezone

Click save

Then upload the js folder to forum root. Path should be:
www.yoursite.com/forum/js

click merge if this folder exists

*************
STEP TWO
*************

goto admincp >> styles and templates >> your template >>

search for: header and open it

find:

<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
            </form>    
        </vb:if>

Add AFTER:

<!--yobromofo.com countdown timer start-->
<li><span id="yobromofo-countdown-timer"></span> seconds <a 

href="http://www.yobromofo.com/forum/f3/the-australia-day-thread-17840/">until Australia 

Day</a></li>
<!--yobromofo.com countdown timer end-->

Change:
"http://www.yobromofo.com/forum/f3/the-australia-day-thread-17840/" to the forum thread

this countdown refers to. If you dont need a link, then change to...

<!--yobromofo.com countdown timer start-->
<li><span id="yobromofo-countdown-timer"></span> seconds until Australia Day</li>
<!--yobromofo.com countdown timer end-->

Change: until Australia Day to match your event name

Click SAVE

*************
STEP TWO ( final step )
*************

open headinclude

at very bottom add

<!--yobromofo.com countdown js file start-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/count.js">
</script>
<!--yobromofo.com countdown js file end-->

ensure the path is correct.

Click save.

You are DONE !

to change the event date etc. just edit the js file, reupload you are done.
to change the event title, change it in the header template.

Have fun.

For the CMS

[TimberFloorAu]

< k novice here. How do you place a widget IN the cms after creating it ?

[RedHacker]

At the end of page in CMS

[TimberFloorAu]

Best leave it to someone else.

We have a lot of stuff missing from cms.

[RedHacker]

OK but it was be look nice...

[fayax]

good mod but .... umm is it actually going to say yobromofo on it too?

Dont think I want a name like that on my forum.

[TimberFloorAu]

<<< seriously baffled by that. The IMAGE yobromofo is a watermark. Nothing more nothing less.

It also doesnt say My Username
Nor the buttons across the top

This is an awesome mod, it works great. I'd be cool if it was a bit more simple to install and to manage afterward.

[wampforum]

installed but cant get it to show correctly. It shows my own text. and the forum link works fine
but i dont know where to upload the png file too? I added in with the JS file (so forum/js/counter.png)
also what is the var lab for? I couldnt understand that bit.
Finally is it possible to put this just in a specific forum and just in that forum header rather than the main header?
thanks

[TimberFloorAu]

Instructions are pretty simple mate , what png file ?
