Pockets compatibility, bugs, and suggestions

Nemiari

I'd like to use this with the Pockets plugin so I can add a countdown in the panel section. Are you planning to expand functionality?

Also, here are a couple bugs I found:

• Couldn't change the tag from default. Every tag I tried wouldn't get picked up in the thread
• After editing a post with the timer tag in it, after saving the edit, the timer doesn't display.

and some suggestions:

• Support creation of multiple countdowns with separate tags
• Time Zone selection isn't very easy, needs a more common drop down

Thanks for making this

That would be great

Hi, thanks for the bug report. The tag issue is that I mistakenly convert to uppercase. So tags with anything other than uppercase letters will not currently work. I'll fix this.

I'll add a drop down for timezone selection.

I've not done any pockets integration before but I'll look into it. Same goes for multiple countdowns.

Ps: the source is on GitHub: https://github.com/gingerbeardman/Countdown

@Nemiari @steve23 I've fixed the tag bug, and added a dropdown for the timezones.

I'm looking into Pockets compatibility.

I will look into multiple countdowns when I get a chance.

No se si abran corregido esto, pero yo lo corregi reemplanzado la linea 24 por esto:
$tzlist[] = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();

Y consegui:

This is really cool, thanks for making it! The ability to make multiple countdowns would be awesome.

if this is the fix what does it mean, i put into translator but still don't understand, is there an English version of this > No se si abran corregido esto, pero yo lo corregi reemplanzado la linea 24 por esto: $tzlist[] = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();

vrijvlinder

yes that is the fix, he said to replace line 24 of forum/plugins/Countdown/class.countdown.plugin.php

with :

$tzlist[] = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();

matt

I've rolled this fix into the latest version, thanks to @YAcosta and @vrijvlinder!

i second the "multiple countdowns" suggestion of DirtyDog...

Would be crazy, if something like

[Countdown 00:00:00 28.11.2013]

in each discussion would be possible...

We have a Event driven Forum... so Countdowns in every Event discussion would be great...

ThX for this plugin

[Countdown 00:00:00 28.11.2013]

That format doesn't work. How do you use this plugin? All when I use [countdown] is an image with zero days hours minutes and seconds.

anonymouse here is a pro tip for mooses.

Pro Tip:

standard use of plugin. go to settings page. read instructions.

go to the settings page - see the instructions.

change as you wish.

I changed it to [mytimer]

I used a time setting that is offered in

similarly you could put this in the settings page

03:05:15 11/12/15

for a countdown starting at 3:05:15 on November 12 2015

So it appears you more clever than Moose. And from your explaination I now see that the Time field changes all the [counter]s in the whole forum. However, I don't want to accept this countdown as being the countdown to change all countdowns.

It would be nice to see [Countdown 00:00:00 31.12.2020] implemented, which was the behavior I expected.

Meanwhile, thank you for your explaination. Over the top of the antlers as usual.

you can certainly offer to sponsor a developer to do it. several of you want it. A developer may take you up on it.
