Countdown 1.2.0

Nouralis · September 2013

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?
