Add-On Releases - User Countdowns & Countups

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!

Our members love this mod and it works great, thanks.

It would be great to allow the members to add their own style to them, could be as simple as Bold, color, etc.

Thanks

Where would I put this in the template and how? Sorry, newbie. I would like it smaller, and bold. It's too large and no more than two lines.

Ok, this did resolve my quick reply issue, however, now the message before specified time is not being displayed.

Thoughts?

Good things.. but is it possible to display counter with Year and Month
For example
I have car: 3 Years 6 Month 5 Days

I installed this when it came out, but I am now running vbulletin seo
and I can't get it to work at all.
I uninstallled it and reinstalled it.. to no avail. All the files are there.
All the settings are correct.
I have plugin hooks enabled.. but nothing shows up.
Any clues?

EZ install, works great!

I love this idea but the mod won't work with vbseo enabled. When I disabled vbseo it worked fine.

I found this over on the vbseo forum about a conflict with a previous countdown mod that serves a different purpose but I thought the problem may be the same. Apparently analytics created the problem but when I tried disabling analytics in vbseo to see if that would fix this mod it still didn't work.

Any ideas how to get this mod to work with vbseo?

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.

Older versions of vBSEO create issues with AJAX in vBulletin 3.75 and 3.8x. I've seen one installation where the problems that created were specific to Firefox - everything worked fine in IE and Opera. If this sounds like it might be your problem, you'll need to go to vBSEO to download a patch.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I have upgraded to vbseo 3.3.0 RC2, the latest release.

Still no luck getting the mod to work though.

Hi,
install, a wonderful feature ... but

This product allows users to set up a countdown timer or countup timer

where can I set up the countup timer?

I set the countdown time on

countdown start
0 Tage, 0 Stunden, 1 Minuten, 4 Sekunden.

But after the countdown time, i refresh the site and it started the countup time

countdown end
0 Tage, 0 Stunden, 0 Minuten, 33 Sekunden.

countdown end
0 Tage, 0 Stunden, 3 Minuten, 49 Sekunden.

is there a solution?

where can I deactivate the countup?
