View Full Version : countdown Alex October 27th, 2005, 05:14 PM Time until 2010: 1 Jan 2010 00:00:00 Alex October 27th, 2005, 05:30 PM OK sports fans, you can now add countdowns to your posts, signatures, whatever. All you need is to add the following BBCODE: <countdown>1 Jan 2006 00:00:00</countdown> That code above sets up a countdown until Jan 1, 2006. Copy and paste it into your posts and see if it works for you. Change the < > marks to [ ]. You can obviously change the date and time to whatever you like. You can format the code with any of the normal VBcode in a message, like bold, size, font, etc. Good luck! Alex October 27th, 2005, 06:12 PM Test for second counter... 1 Jan 2006 00:00:00 Darn. Only works on the first one on a page; I'll keep working on it... EDIT: It's working now! Use as many as you want, and you can also put it in your signature... Alex October 27th, 2005, 08:31 PM different test: month=1&year=2006&day=1 http://www.montgomerybikers.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif Alex October 27th, 2005, 08:59 PM OK folks, came up with another way to do this. If you don't want the seconds to count down live, use the countdown3 tag instead. Example code is below (the format is slightly different than the countdown code). month=1&year=2006&day=01&hour=00&min=00&sec=00 substitute whatever date info you like, and just make sure the entire string is between COUNTDOWN3 and /COUNTDOWN3. Here is what that code produces: month=1&year=2006&day=01 Colin October 29th, 2005, 03:37 PM do i need to type in a code and hit "enter" at the end of the countdown? Alex October 29th, 2005, 04:54 PM do i need to type in a code and hit "enter" at the end of the countdown? only on wednesday nights... Colin October 29th, 2005, 07:09 PM only on wednesday nights... maaaaaaake your own kind of mu-sic....SIIIIING your own spe-cial song! Alex October 31st, 2005, 03:05 PM Jan 1, 2005: (date has passed) jan 1 2005 Jan 1, 2010: (date in future) jan 1 2010 Colin October 31st, 2005, 07:57 PM alex, the "ride countdown" displays properly in Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X. IE for Mac seems to bomb every time I launch it....but using IE on a Mac is blasphemy anyway. Alex October 31st, 2005, 08:11 PM Thanks for testing Colin! Are you using the latest IE for the mac? The script is supposed to be compatible with IE 5.0 or later on all platforms (as well as Firefox, Opera, and pretty much all other standards-based browsers). What do you mean it bombs, does that mean none of the page loads? or just the countdowns fail? Colin October 31st, 2005, 11:45 PM oops, sorry i wasn't more specific. i can't get IE to load ANY pages, so i wasn't able to test it yet on the forum. |
