Countdown (Forum, Sideblock, vBa CMPS, Multiple Countdowns)
Developer Last Online: Feb 2021 
Someone PM'd me last week asking for the code I use for my countdown sideblock. So here is the basic countdown (doesn't include the images/blurb that screenshots/demo show)
This countdown uses the users PC clock and calendar to count down to a time and date. What is it? A sideblock on your forum index to countdown to a specific date/event. 1. Upload the contents on the zip archive to your server. Keeping the file structure as is. countdown/js/jquery-1.4.1.js countdown/js/jquery.lwtCountdown-1.0.js countdown/js/misc.js countdown/style/main.css Change the settings of the countdown/js folder to CHMOD 775 2. Go to AdminCP > Forums and Moderators > Forum Block Manager > Add Block Title - Countdown Description - whatever you want Content Type - HTML Content - <div></div> Template to use - block_countdown 3. Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template Title - block_countdown
Change this part to set the countdown target date
Save the block. 4. Go to AdminCP > Style and Templates > Style Manager > StyleVars > forum_sidebar_width and change the width to atleast 270px You can change the colour of the digits/text to suit your forum by changing references to #5C7099 in the main.css file If you are using vBOptimise go to AdminCP > vBOptimise > Flush Cache To have more than one countdown Create a new template called block_countdown2
Set the targetDate data and save For reference if making more blocks - (jq('#countdownX').countDown({ and <div id="countdownX"> are used to call additional countdowns). Create a new forum block in the same way as before but make the template to use: block_countdown2 To Display on vB Advanced CMPS - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=122 To show multiple countdowns on forumhome (screenshots) - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=158 If you want to add images/videos etc to your countdown all you need to do is add some basic code to the template. Search for </script><div> and after that you would add something like.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, upload the contents of the zip file and replace the template(s) you are using (ie block_countdown, block_countdown2, adv_portal_countdown etc). Set the targetDate. History 1.0.4 - Reverted back to using jquery-1.4.1.js 1.0.3 - Now using jquery-1.6.1.min.js and added noConflict to script 1.0.2 - Cleaned up code, added instructions to zip. Also instruction within thread on how to make CMS widget or have more than one countdown. If anyone wants to further develop any of my addons, you are free to do so.

Upgrading your forum shouldn't break anything
Are the template edits and files still in place and have you tried purging the block cache? (AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Block Manager)

Ok, fixed. I'm using different style now and I forgot about moving the block_countdown templates to the new one.

Hi Gemma,
Is it possible to let it repeat the countdown? For exmple: Let it count down to every weekend automatically..? Kind regards No members have liked this post.
