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!

Funny but it works fine on my site and does NOT crash Firefox. The only issue is the countdown is no longer live and requires a page refresh which I have posted about already with zero reply or support.

Uncached templates: sk-timer_countdownbit (1)

How do I cache it?

Very nice, but it collides with my forum's color scheme. Any way to change the color directly through a menu in Admin panel or to adopt the forum color scheme automatically? That would be a very nice feature to this fantastic addon.

This is what it looks like on my forum, very hard to read, please let me know how to fix it:

Where in here would you edit to change color or font?

<br />
<script language="JavaScript" src="clientscript/sktimer.js"></script>
<if condition="$puser[skunixdate] > TIMENOW">$puser[sktitle]<else />$puser[skdescription]</if> <br />
<script language="JavaScript">
TargetDate$post[postid] = "$puser[skdateline]";
<if condition="$vboptions[sktimer_counter_active]">
CountActive$post[postid] = true;
<else />
CountActive$post[postid] = false;
</if>
skpostid$post[postid] = 'cntdwn$post[postid]';
CountStepper$post[postid] = $puser[direction];
LeadingZero$post[postid] = false;
DisplayFormat$post[postid] = "$puser[skformat]";
FinishMessage$post[postid] = "$puser[skdescription]";

startSkTimer(TargetDate$post[postid],FinishMessage$post[postid],CountStepper$post[postid],LeadingZero$post[postid],DisplayFormat$post[postid],CountActive$post[postid],TargetDate$post[postid],skpostid$post[postid]);
</script>

Well, if the Edits worked for you, how about you post how and what you changed so others can also benefit from it.

Yes JaroSciak please show all of us how to edit that template.

Thanks

This is what I did:

- admincp
- Styles & Templates
- Open: sk-timer_add
- Copy the code of sk-timer_add template
- Open FrontPage Code view and paste in the code of sk-timer_add template
- Switch to Frontpage Design view
- Edit a color of entire table to match the background of your forum
- Edit color of text to contrast your background

ps. if you don't have FrontPage, you can use Microsoft Free Trial of Expression Web:

Anyways, this is what it was before I've changed it:


This is what it looks like now:


I hope I've given you at least some kind of a help, but that is in a nutshell how I went about it. Enjoy.
