Advance countdown timer help

[midkiff]

I really like the advanced countdown script. I have successfully installed the script and it's working great, but I would like to know if it could display the text "days - hr : min : secs" along with the numbers. I was wondering if someone could possibly please explain to me how this could be done, I would really appreciate it. I would also like to know how to change the font size for where it says "Remaining days" or possibly even changing it to say remaining time.

On ACP you can enable/disable the full time string.
This will decode by "GetElementById" and so be setted with the current value.

Renaming the text you can do in the lang_countdown.php.
Formatting the text can be done on overall_header.tpl. There you can use another/new CSS-classes or format the text directly there by other CSS-style definitions.

How can I display the text "days - hr : min : secs" beside the numbers?

[oxpus]

Try this:

Code: Alles auswählen

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
includes/page_header.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
		'FULL_DISPLAY' => ''));

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#
		'HOURS' => $lang['CT_Hours'],
		'MINUTES' => $lang['CT_Minutes'],
		'SECONDS' => $lang['CT_Seconds'],
		'FULL_DISPLAY' => ''));

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
	{L_DAYS}&nbsp;<input name="days" class="post" size=4 style="border: 0px">
	<span style="display: {FULL_DISPLAY};">-&nbsp;&nbsp;
	<input name="hours" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;:
	<input name="mins" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;:
	<input name="secs" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#
	<input name="days" class="post" size=4 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;{L_DAYS}
	<span style="display: {FULL_DISPLAY};">-&nbsp;&nbsp;
	<input name="hours" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;{HOURS}&nbsp;:
	<input name="mins" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;{MINUTES}&nbsp;:
	<input name="secs" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;{SECONDS}

I am getting this error now

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ']' in /home/mojojojo/public_html/forum/language/lang_english/lang_main.php on line 1331

This is what's on line 1331

Code: Alles auswählen

$lang[CT_Hours'] = 'hrs';

[oxpus]

Sorry for this. I've fixed the snippet. Please reinstall the part for lang_main.php.

[midkiff]

Ok that fixed that, but the days is to the left of where it says remaining time, can you also explain to me exactly how to change the size of the fonts because the numbers are smaller than the text. I have attached a gif to show you how it is displaying now.

[oxpus]

Oh sorry, i forgotten the formatting.
Use this:

Code: Alles auswählen

<span class="genmed">{L_DAYS}</span>&nbsp;<input name="days" class="post" size=4 style="border: 0px">
<span style="display: {FULL_DISPLAY};">-&nbsp;&nbsp; <input name="hours" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;<span class="genmed">{HOURS}</span>&nbsp;
<input name="mins" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;<span class="genmed">{MINUTES}</span>&nbsp;
<input name="secs" class="post" size=2 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;<span class="genmed">{SECONDS}</span> 

[midkiff]

Ok that works great now, how can I put the word "days" after the number of days?

[oxpus]

Like this:

Code: Alles auswählen

<input name="days" class="post" size=4 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;<span class="genmed">{L_DAYS}</span>

[midkiff]

That changes it back to where the # is to the left of remaining days.

[oxpus]

Then this:

Code: Alles auswählen

<span class="genmed">{L_DAYS}</span>&nbsp;<input name="days" class="post" size=4 style="border: 0px">&nbsp;<span class="genmed">days</span>

[midkiff]

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks man you are the best! :ok

[oxpus]

No problem. Long support for a little code

Well, I'm going to save creating a new thread, as my post is along the same sort of lines, and again I dont speak german..

I've installed the Advanced countdown mod on a phpBB2 plus 1.5 board... Now these are probably easily curable, but I'd like help woth two things -
1, How do I remove the Javascript pop-ups?
2, The mod looks like it is all there, the layout is good, its all present in the ACP & i've run the SQL query, but it's not displaying the actual countdown - no times or dats, just lots of -- -- --. Is there a seperate mod I need to install prior to this one? An incompatibility with the Plus version of phpBB? Or am i just missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated

[oxpus]

1. You can find on page_header.php the line

Code: Alles auswählen

		alert("'.$event_text.'");

Just delete it and the popup is gone.

2. The mod also run on a phpBB2 plus. Does you have install the newest release? Compare with the release you can find here under the downloads.
Be sure you have edit the >body>-Tag in the overall_header.tpl!

Sorted the Java alert, thanks very much

Noticed I had the year set for 2004 which was why the counter wasn't working, my fault oops...

Anyway, thanks very much for the help!
