Countdown (Forum, Sideblock, vBa CMPS, Multiple Countdowns)
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
Someone PM'd me last week asking for the code I use for my countdown sideblock. So here is the basic countdown (doesn't include the images/blurb that screenshots/demo show)
This countdown uses the users PC clock and calendar to count down to a time and date. What is it? A sideblock on your forum index to countdown to a specific date/event. 1. Upload the contents on the zip archive to your server. Keeping the file structure as is. countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js countdown/js/misc.js countdown/style/main.css Change the settings of the countdown/js folder to CHMOD 775 2. Go to AdminCP > Forums and Moderators > Forum Block Manager > Add Block Title - Countdown Description - whatever you want Content Type - HTML Content - <div></div> Template to use - block_countdown 3. Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template Title - block_countdown Code:
<li> <div class="block smaller"> <div class="blocksubhead"> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a> <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span> </div> <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer"> <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow"> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript"> var jq=$.noConflict(); jq(document).ready(function() { jq('#countdown').countDown({ targetDate: { 'day': 19, 'month': 7, 'year': 2011, 'hour': 23, 'min': 59, 'sec': 59, } }); }); </script> <div> <div id="countdown"> <div class="dash first weeks_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash days_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Days</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash hours_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Hrs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash minutes_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Mins</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash seconds_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Secs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="underblock"></div> </li> Code:
'day': 19, 'month': 7, 'year': 2011, 'hour': 23, 'min': 59, 'sec': 59, 4. Go to AdminCP > Style and Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars > forum_sidebar_width and change the width to atleast 270px You can change the colour of the digits/text to suit your forum by changing references to #5C7099 in the main.css file If you are using vBOptimise go to AdminCP > vBOptimise > Flush Cache To have more than one countdown Create a new template called block_countdown2 Code:
<li> <div class="block smaller"> <div class="blocksubhead"> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a> <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span> </div> <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer"> <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow"> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript"> var jq=$.noConflict(); jq(document).ready(function() { jq('#countdown2').countDown({ targetDate: { 'day': 00, 'month': 00, 'year': 0000, 'hour': 00, 'min': 00, 'sec': 00, } }); }); </script> <div> <div id="countdown2"> <div class="dash first weeks_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash days_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Days</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash hours_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Hrs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash minutes_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Mins</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash seconds_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Secs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="underblock"></div> </li> For reference if making more blocks - (jq('#countdownX').countDown({ and <div id="countdownX"> are used to call additional countdowns). Create a new forum block in the same way as before but make the template to use: block_countdown2 To Display on vB Advanced CMPS - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=122 To show multiple countdowns on forumhome (screenshots) - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=158 If you want to add images/videos etc to your countdown all you need to do is add some basic code to the template. Search for </script><div> and after that you would add something like. Code:
<img alt="" title="" src="URL TO YOUR IMAGE" width="150" height="225"><br/><br/> <iframe width="240" height="160" src="EMBEDDED YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/> </div> History 1.0.4 - Reverted back to using jquery-1.4.1.js 1.0.3 - Now using jquery-1.6.1.min.js and added noConflict to script 1.0.2 - Cleaned up code, added instructions to zip. Also instruction within thread on how to make CMS widget or have more than one countdown. If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so. Download Now

Very nice mod Gemma.
Is it possible to have more than one countdown in the forum sidebar? I tried creating two, and created another template 'block_countdown2' which my 2nd block is set to use in 'Template to Use', but only one of the countdowns works. Any thoughts appreciated. |

I've not tried but I think the scripts would clash. I'll have a play around later
edit: Not as difificult as I thought. Create a new template called block_countdown2 Code:
<li> <div class="block smaller"> <div class="blocksubhead"> <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a> <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span> </div> <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer"> <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow"> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { $('#countdown2').countDown({ targetDate: { 'day': 00, 'month': 00, 'year': 0000, 'hour': 00, 'min': 00, 'sec': 00, 'utc': true } }); }); </script> <div> <div id="countdown2"> <div class="dash first weeks_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Weeks</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash days_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Days</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash hours_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Hrs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash minutes_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Mins</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> <div class="dash seconds_dash"> <span class="dash_title">Secs</span> <div class="digit">0</div> <div class="digit">0</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="underblock"></div> </li> ($('#countdown2').countDown({ and <div id="countdown2"> are used to call the second countdown). Create a new forum block in the same way as before but make the template to use: block_countdown2 |

Sorry for the delay, was at work
Not really sure why it isn't working for some, only thing I can think of is a conflict somewhere. Try removing this from the block_countdown template and add it to your headinclude or footer (footer is my own preference) Code:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js"></script> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="countdown/js/misc.js"></script> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="countdown/style/main.css"></link> |
