vBulletin Events Count Down (Plug In)

[Greg]

This mod is used to display countdowns to upcoming events. The output
displays the "days until" the event and "In progress" when the event is
happening. The output is intended to go in a narrow side column. Your
milage may vary depending on your template implementation.

Events are added to the countdown list in the admincp. Each event
has a start date, Event Name, Event Link, and a selection for active/not avtive.
You may add new events, edit/modify events, delete events and set events
active or not avtive.

This does not use the built in calendar of vBulletin.

can u tell me how to install this mod i am a noob in it

[Greg]

You have to edit the php file for the page you want the box to apprear on and add a template. It's not hard at all, most use it on a column on a home page.

[archorn]

and how am i supposed to do that :)

[Greg]

Tell us what site you want it on and we'll make suggestions. :)

1) Just before the final eval should work. That's at the end.
2) If you use a portal, then in one of the custom boxes.

nice work guy

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the time on the countdown? My guess would be that the server I'm using is about 12 hours head of my real time. The result is the countdown says my events are in progress atleast 1/2 a day before they are.

Henry :D

I'm sure it's the GMT offset and I didn't have to deal with it on my server.

I have not looked at it or tried to fix it yet however.

I'm on my way out, but I have it and will gladly post it. If you don't see it by supper time, re-up this thread. Don't be affraid of being annoying, I forget stuff.

[Tyegurl]

ohhhhh thank you soooo much!!!

[Tyegurl]

is dinner over lmao....take your time i am in no hurry for it...okay i lied....i altered it so much that it will take me time to figure it out again!!...oh and i didn't "alter" it lol i just added bold here and a break there....

oh and one more thing....ummmm....there was a way to get it to read the right time so to speak and not be off with the "rounding"....do you remember it or know of it? no big deal....if i look through it i might be able to remember..

but really take your time...i seriously am not in that big a hurry...just so happy to have found it...btw...who took it out of vbulletin.org??

[Greg]

I have to look at the date stuff. I didn't figure any user timezones into it at all. But that should not be a big deal to fix.

I pulled my stuff from .org.

Dinner just finished for me. Let me find the zip and post it as is and we'll go from there.

[Tyegurl]

thanks soooooo much again!

[Greg]

The product file for vB 3.5.x is posted.

[Tyegurl]

thanks sooooo much.....cross my fingers and hope it works lol

[Tyegurl]

noppid....okay it worked with 3.6.0 beta3

my only problem now is getting it to actually read the right time and not round ...... if it rounds like that then i will be off....there was a fix in that thread at vbulletin...do you remember it? or do you know of a way to fix it?

[Greg]

I'm sure I just have to read it to fix it. I'll be back in a bit and do it. Hopefully I'll have it reposted by after supper.
