Michael R Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Would it be possible to countdown the minutes and seconds?
Skipy7 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 Hi @Michael R, It does count down in minutes and seconds as long as the time is less then months and days. Once I renew my licence with IPS I'll add an option to always show the minutes and seconds. Michael R 1
Skipy7 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Hello, Just want to give an update on v1.1 It's now in development and will be the next release, there will be no 1.0.4. Some of note worthy changes that are coming to 1.1.x Change from plugin to an Application (I will provide a detailed guide on how to upgrade). Multiple styles/templates for the countdown widget. A clock widget, shows the time in any timezone you set. Javascript polling for visual real time counting. language string improvements. If you have any suggestions for 1.1.0 send them in. A sneaky peak:
avstu Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Would be cool if you could style it into a box, and then each number in a container etc. Skipy7 1

That is true with 1.0 of the widget it uses the core formatInterval that combines everything into a single string. In 1.1 I have a custom formatInterval that will allow this type of styling.
Skipy7 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) So 1.1 has changed plans it will stay as a plugin. I still have a couple things I want to add and do a clean up, A beta should be ready next week for anyone that wants to test it out send me a PM and I'll send you the beta file when it's ready. Some progress pics. Edited October 17, 2015 by Chris Riddell Michael R 1

ucjohn Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 only downside is if I upgrade to 4.1 and when they do "full release" I'm having to do full install all over again.. which I'm not ok with lol

It will look a little different on 4.0.13 because of the css class I'm using to colour the boxes.

This is one thing that changed from the previews to the release of 1.1.0 there is the only one style, each time unit is wrapped in the css class ipsWidget_title. This is an oversight and I'll address it in 1.1.1. If you want to edit the template before i release 1.1.1 you can find it at core > global > plugins > Countdown.

Skipy7 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Hello, I'm announcing an update to Simple Countdown, version 1.1.1. This is a small maintenance release, see Simple Countdown on the marketplace for the changelog. (Upgrading Note: because a new setting was added you will need to reconfigure any Countdown widgets after upgrade.)
ucjohn Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I've uploaded it to plugins.. Nothing is working it's IPB 4.1.0 I'm running now not having much luck I put the block where I want and click edit and I get a error.. I try finding it inside admin panel there is no options am I missing something?
Skipy7 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Hi @ucjohn All the widget configurations happen in the edit window, what's the error say? is there anything logged in the System Logs under the support tab in the ACP?
ucjohn Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Uploaded Plugin.. Cannot see any settings inside ACP and click on the edit box on front page clicking edit "Something Went Wrong" that's all the error box says.. Error logs contain nothing.
Michael R Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Just loaded the new version. Is this dynamic or do you need to refresh to see the countdown?
