Z.Z. bin ich nicht imstande, auf deinen Foren zu registrieren, da ich nicht Deutschen lesen kann, den die Störungen hart zu lesen sind und alle übersetzungsweb site nicht arbeiten, also ich mich wundere, wenn dein fähiges, mir über email mit diesem Problem zu helfen ich habe. Z.Z. habe ich eine Zeit auf Countdown aufgestellt, wenn ein Schwätzchen beginnt und da timezones benutzt werden, dieses nicht möglich ist. So wundere mich ich, wenn es möglich ist, dich Umb. Countdown unter dem Verwalter timezone zu bilden und für alle anderen Benutzer nicht auf dem Brett irgendwie unterschiedlich zu sein. Als deine Referenz gab der Benutzer dieses bekannt Ich denke, daß ive ein ziemlich Hauptschwierigkeit traurig fand. Bevor ich anmeldete, geht es Tag said1 12 Stunden 2 in das timezone gmt0, dann, sobald i \ 'd, das zum gmt13+ timezon dort angemeldet wurde, 2 Tage 1 Stunde waren, zum zu gehen. so jeder wird unterschiedliche Zeiten erhalten: S., kannst du es sein an ein timezone für jeder so bilden????? So könntest du gefallen hilfst mir heraus auf beiden Problemen. Dank während deiner Zeit Treiber-Verrücktheit


ENGLISH VERSION
Hello,
I can't speak german so I've left a english and a german version of this email.

Currently I am unable to register on your forums, Since I can't read german the errors are hard to read and all the translating websites don't work so I'm wondering if your able to help me via email with this problem I'm having.
Currently I've set up a time to countdown when a chat will start and since timezones are used this is not possible. So I'm wondering if it's possible to make you mod countdown under the administrators timezone and not be any different for all the other users on the board.

For your reference the user posted this
I think ive found a rather major problem Sad. Before I logged in, it said1 day 12 hrs 2 go in the gmt0 timezone, then once i\'d logged in to gmt13+ timezon there was a 2 days 1 hr to go. so everyone will be getting different times :S. can you make it so its on one timezone for everyone?????

So you could please help me out.

Thanks for your time

Which release on the Countdown MOD do you uses?
The newest one regards timezones on time setting and the displaying for each user timezone.
If I donÄt use the timezone informations the countdown will completely malfunction.

And:

so I'm wondering if your able to help me via email with this problem I'm having.

I don't support via Email!
Sorry...

Sorry, I emailed you via. email about a few problems and then a forum problem but I can loggin now and it's great that I can login and you can speak english, lol

As I put in the title i'm using "advanced_countdown_1_0_9" and that's also the name of the zip file I downloaded from here.

And by the looks of what you said I can't fix this problem is this true or is there another way.

Like maybe I could set the time in (GMT+0) and it would be the same as everyone else and it disrregards what timezone settings their using.

Or maybe you could add a feature where you enter in a time at which you want it to expire, lets say 10hours 24mins and 35seconds, and have it counting down the same for everyone else.

I'm just hoping there is a way to keep it at the same for everyone so it isn't all different between users timezones.

Sorry, I can't agree with you.
The MOD in the latest release was testet from many users successfull about the correct timezones.
Each user will get the right end time, so I can't really understand or help you...

[madnessproductions]

I'll just try to explain this one more time, and if it dosen't work out that's fine... I might just find an alternative flash based countdown and put it in the header.tpl file or something like that.

Ok, basicly what I'm trying to do is have a countdown timer which counts down to a time where everyone meets in a chatroom.

When I use Advanced Countdown 1.0.9, everysingle user gets a different time which has been changed for there timezone settings.

Okay, back to the false:

Code: Alles auswählen

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

#
#-----[ FIND ]-----
#
	$b_day = create_date('d', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);
	$b_month = create_date('n', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);
	$b_year = create_date('Y', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);
	$b_hour = create_date('H', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);
	$b_minute = create_date('i', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);
	$b_second = create_date('s', $event_stop, $board_config['board_timezone']);

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]-----
#
	$b_day = date('d', $event_stop);
	$b_month = date('n', $event_stop);
	$b_year = date('Y', $event_stop);
	$b_hour = date('H', $event_stop);
	$b_minute = date('i', $event_stop);
	$b_second = date('s', $event_stop);

And hint, that the mod was build to count down to an end timestamp, not for counting a remaining time!

[madnessproductions]

ok, I'll try this... thanks for your help and support

EDIT: My includes/page_header.php is totally different, I do a search for "second" and it's not in the entire document.

Also note that I'm using PHPBBPlus1.53a, this is my entire pageheader
