User Countdowns & Countups · **Released**: 02-17-2009

Got the inspiration for this mod here. Problem is, that mod does not work anymore. We decided to write our own.

This product allows users to set up a countdown timer or countup timer. The timer can run in real time with the javascript counter, or just static. Admin can choose to show the timer in users sigs or in the postbit user info area.

Usergroup permissions are handled in the options area so you do not have to modify many usergroups one at a time.

This product was developed for Andy R from Social Knowledge and released here for others to enjoy.

Enjoy!

DON'T FORGET TO:

CLICK INSTALL!

Um... it's giving me errors - is there a quick way to uninstall or disable? I can't seem to find for some reason right now. It seems good but just need to tweak my set up before I take this live.

Having issues. Followed instructions for installation. The prompt appears in the UCP. Clicking on the prompt only brings up a 404 error. Any ideas? Thank you!

Yeah, you didn't upload all the files, or you didn't upload them correctly. You have to upload the CONTENTS of the upload directory, not the upload directory itself.

Any idea?

Thx in advance!

The days, hours, secs, etc can be found in the clientscript/sktimer.js file:

Code:

 DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds.";

Or in "Handle timer in postbit" plugin.

As for the rest, it is phrased. Do a search in phrases.

Thank you. I'll try again.

I've got a forum where we are running a special event, each thread will need to have the same timer.

Can this be done wit this mod?

Ex.

Thread Vote 1 - ends on A
THread Vote 2 - Ends on A

Can't get it to work on 3.8.1. Does anyone know what the conflict with another mod might be?

jellykelly · #40 02-23-2009, 01:29 AM

Thank you. It worked. My husband had me second guessing myself.

Can anyone confirm that it causes issues in Firefox? I've confirmed this on two different computers and it only happens to the person who has a count-down timer in their sig. I have this product installed so that only the Administrators can use it per the usergroup permissions in the Options. I have it displayed in my signature. While using Firefox, if I reply to a post using Quick Reply the reloading of the page is broken... That is, it will post the reply and instead of refreshing the page to show my post it sits at a blank screen saying "Loading..." and never loads. This happens on two separate machines using Firefox. Seems to work OK in Chrome and Internet Explorer.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
