Countdown Timer for your users · **Released**: 02-09-2006

(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]

I'm baffled, nothing appears to have changed.

I've tried 2 different ways so far because the instructions don't mention the /xml/bitfield_hc_countdown.xml so I tried both with and without it.

Uploaded the .php file to /includes/ then added new product with the .xml file and there is nothing anywhere and I've tried 3 different test accounts.

I also tried with uploading /xml/bitfield_hc_countdown.xml and no errors, but no options anywhere for countdown.

Uninstalled for now sadly. This sounds like a great addon.

BTW, 3.5.3 with a few addons, PHP 4.4.1 with Apache 1.3.34 on Linux.

You can now choose what usergroup(s) can use the countdown via the usergroupmanager!
New archive has been uploaded.

Fantastic! Up to my ears with some other things atm, but will be back to install this later this weekend. Thanks!

thanks for the update!

Great Idea, but I am a little lost.
I have followed your instructions and installed the mod, then I edited the user group properties.. But if you look at the image, I am not sure what to do.

@SuperJETT, please try this...

1. upload "plugins_usercountd.php" to ".../forum/includes/"
2. upload "bitfield_hc_countdown.xml" to "..forum/includes/xml"
3. then under "Plugin System" --> "Manage Products" --> "Add/Import Product"
4. import "product-hc_usercountdown110.xml"

5. go to "Usergroups"
6. edit your "Registered Users"
7. Scroll all the way down and click "Yes" to enable.
8. click "Update"

you're done.

hope this helps...

Ok, Now I am getting the Options for the countdown displaying twice.

SuperJETT · #59 02-18-2006, 04:36 PM

I decided to give it one more shot, had to go in and edit the db manually though because on the last remove it didn't take the fields out properly apparently.

Short story = db is messed up. I have some work to do.

Yikes. This is causing an extra query per post on showthread.php. 38 queries had me freaked out!
