Countdown 1.2.0

Nouralis

I am trying to add the Countdown capability to a page created with Livid Tech's "Basic Pages" application. However, nothing seems to happen. It does however work flawlessly in a forum discussion :-)

Is there a workaround to enable the function in pages created using the Basic Pages plugin?

Best regards,

Three ways:

• First way

If you want A countdown clock on all of your BasicPages - here is a sample.

It throws the counddown timer in page (but not via [COUNTDOWN]

    in classcountdown.plugin.php

    before line
    public function Base_AfterCommentFormat_Handler($Sender) {


    add these lines ---

        public function PageController_BeforePageFormatBody_Handler($Sender) {
           // if (you could restrict the time getting displayed by testing for appropriate url) {  
            DisplayTimer = "Y";
          //    }

          if ($DisplayTimer == "Y") {
             $Timer  = $this->DoReplacement("[COUNTDOWN]");
              echo  $Timer;
              } 

        }


the last lines in the index.php in the basicpages/views/page/index.php

change 

` <div id="PageBody"><?php echo $FormatBody; ?></div>`

to

     <div id="PageBody">
       <?php 
      Gdn::Controller()->FireEvent('BeforePageFormatBody'); 
       echo $FormatBody; ?>

       </div>
    </div>

---

• Second Way

  You could also do something like this (if you put [COUNTDOWN] in your text box.

  the last lines in the index.php in the basicpages/views/page/index.php

  change

  <div id="PageBody"><?php echo $FormatBody; ?></div>

  to

   <div id="PageBody">
     <?php 
    Gdn::Controller()->FireEvent('BeforePageFormatBody'); 
     echo $FormatBody; ?>
  
     </div>
  </div>
  

  in classcountdown.plugin.php

  public function PageController_BeforePageFormatBody_Handler($Sender) {
      $TestBody = ($Sender->Data('PageData')->Body);
      preg_match("/\[COUNTDOWN\]/", $TestBody, $Match);
      if ($Match) {
      $Timer  = $this->DoReplacement("[COUNTDOWN]");
        echo  $Timer;
      }
  }
  

  but you would need to strip [COUNTDOWN] from $FormatBody after the firevent and before the echo in index.php.

---

• Third Way - the countdown tag will automatically strip out because you use <COUNTDOWN>
  in textbox in apps.

  A third way is this...
        in classcountdown.plugin.php
  
          before line
          public function Base_AfterCommentFormat_Handler($Sender) {
  
  
          add these lines ---
  
  
  
          public function PageController_BeforePageFormatBody_Handler($Sender) {
              $TestBody = ($Sender->Data('PageData')->Body);
              preg_match("/\<COUNTDOWN\>/", $TestBody, $Match);
              if ($Match) {
              $Timer  = $this->DoReplacement("[COUNTDOWN]");
                echo  $Timer;
              }
          }
  
  add 
  
          the last lines in the index.php in the basicpages/views/page/index.php
  
          change 
  
          ` <div id="PageBody"><?php echo $FormatBody; ?></div>`
  
          to
  
               <div id="PageBody">
                 <?php 
                Gdn::Controller()->FireEvent('BeforePageFormatBody'); 
                 echo $FormatBody; ?>
  
                 </div>
              </div>
  
  
  in you basicpage text box
  
  you could put 
  
  this is a test
  
  <COUNTDOWN>
  

I'm sure there is a better way that is more flexible, if someone want to play around

Perhaps @ShadowDare or @hgtonight have some better ideas.

@ShadowDare - I just tried your basic pages app - pretty slick and easy to use.

Many thanks peregrine! This really opens up the possibilities for me [and others].

Now, time for a little code play :-)

Actually this may be better - undo the other changes I suggested.

@Nouralis

 in the basicpages/views/page/index.php

    change 
    $Session = Gdn::Session();
    $Page = $this->Data('PageData');

    to

    $Session = Gdn::Session();
    $this->FireEvent('BeforePageFormatBody'); 
    $Page = $this->Data('PageData');

in

in classcountdown.plugin.php

before line

    public function Base_AfterCommentFormat_Handler($Sender) {
    add these lines ---


    public function PageController_BeforePageFormatBody_Handler($Sender) {
        $TestBody = ($Sender->Data('PageData')->Body); 
        $Sender->Data('PageData')->Body = $this->DoReplacement($TestBody);
    }

---

in your page body

        this is a test
    [COUNTDOWN]
    <br />
    hello

and make sure this is checked

x Disable automatic body formatting and allow raw HTML?

You the man @peregrine!
