Description

This is a countdown hack that allows users to put a custom countdown using BB Code.

Example:
[countdown=12/31/2020 5:00 AM;It is finally here]Count down:[/countdown]
The countdown will count down till it reaches the date then it will show the text in the option after the date. The param is the text before the countdown.

The date is in the format of m/d/yyyy h:mm AM.
m is for month.
d is for day.
y is for Year with 4 digits like 2008 not 08.
h is for the hour.
The last m is for minute and needs to be 2 digits.
The AM can be AM or PM.

Do I need to uninstall the other one first? I uploaded the clientscript to the clientscript file, uploaded the xml file and copied and pasted that same text into head includes area. Now it shows the countdown but no text telling what I am counting down to and still does not show on quick reply. What did I do wrong or is something missing from the zip file?

Compare your BB code setup to the instructions that was just added.

That is a option when you add BB Code. You must set this to yes.

Is it possibly to add the username of the user and what he/she is counting down too?

{user} is counting down: to his birthday 7 days 4 hours 7 secs

The user can put whatever text in from of the countdown and when the countdown is over.

Does that answer your question?

I really like this hack. I have installed it and I am using it... only thing is... I'm concerned with my member. How will they know what format to put the information in? I can ofcourse make a thread or something but they won't all be able to see that. Any suggestions? Or am I missing something?
