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!

I've upgraded my instructions above.
Please note, while this works for me, this is not how it should be done.
Programmer of this script should add an option to implement text and backgroung colors.

Thanks Jaro.

You wanted your admin Cpanel color changed, and I just need the font color changed in the post. There should be an easy way to do this. I appreciate your help but it does not correlate with what I am trying to do.

I am not sure I understand, but if you just want to change the color of the message text, use a BB code:

Go to Control Panel, Edit Countdown and use this as a message to display:

PHP Code:

[b][color=red]Countdown to Joe's Vacation:[/color][/b] 


then it'll look like this:

JARO thank you very much!!!! That is all I wanted. i did not know you could ad those tags in the snall edit box.

[jarosciak]

Yeah, I didn't know either, but I was playing around with it and realized it worked with BB code. Great.

I would like to add hyperlink to the text of event. Do I use bb code or html to do this? Thanks

[Battle_Ring]

Could you make one the admin can set to show in the header

[samdu]

Any way to add a fieldset to this in the postbit?

I'm thick where do I find this?

Nice idea but this must conflict with something else so I cannot mark it as installed.

Running the latest vb, vbseo and multiple hacks. Everything appears OK except it does not show in sig or postbit. What is the hook for it?

Isn't there anything I can do, I would really like it to work.

OK I got it to work on another site of mine and of all places a heavily modified theme. Marked as installed.
