because you changed the template so that the TD the post appears in, no longer has the class of "content". the code cannot locate the correct place for posts. you need to add that class back in. you changed it to "postbox"

a lot of codes are going to have an issue with that

Ahh. Wasn't me who skinned the code lol. Thanks! Got it now.

I have been enjoying this plug in while used in post and I have recently been using a countdown timer from time and date inside an HTML box on a custom page. I discovered that I can continue to use this plug in on the custom page using it in HTML form. I would like to not have a title just the timer and countdown passed message so I can set up my own titles and such above the timer. What would I need to remove to do this? I tried simply not inputting a title and got an UNDEFINED in its place, then tried to delete the .countdown_title css from the sheet with no luck?

[Wormopolis]

deleting css just means it goes back to default. try setting the CSS for it to display:none

Thanks, been studying a lot about html through the process of setting up this site but not so much on the CSS. Thanks again

Hello there,

this plugin is exactly what I need but to say I am struggling is an understatement. Here's what I'm trying to do.

Centre the Countdown above my shoutbox but below my navigation tree. Whether I put it in my global header or footer it appears at the bottom.

I also want the Title to be directly above the timer and have bolder, slightly larger text with the same background as my shoutbox reply background which is an image i uploaded.

If the reply comes back as just this.....

.countdown_default {width: 590px; height: 110px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; border: 1px #FFFFFF solid} .countdown_reached {width: 590px; height: 110px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(http://i197./aa250/WORMOPOLIS/Animated-Border-Marquee.gif);} .countdown_title {padding-left:10px; padding-top:10px; text-align: left; font-size: 12px;} .countdown_timer {text-align: center; font-size: 16px;} .countdown_message {padding-right:10px; text-align: right; font-size: 14px;}


....then I don't have a clue what I am supposed to do with that.


Please can someone help me out. 

Thanks
S

what exactly are you putting into header/footer to make it appear?

I had countdown closed incorrectly. did it like this <countdown/> instead of this </countdown>

its sorted now but thanks for the reply Worm.

Take a look at the timer here..

Such a shame that my banner ads suddenly appeared today when I only got it sorted just last night and the banner ads weren't there. Now I have a big gaping space above my timer that wasn't there last night. Nevermind...

Cheers

guests have to login so I cant see the page you are pointing at

as for changing the structure of the countdown timer, in the plugin settings the "countdown object format" is the actual HTML it uses to create it. you just have to make your changes to that.

Hello again Worm,

so I am still using your timer and want to if you could help me move it into the correct part of my banner. It really needs to be fixed there.

Currently it seems like I am struggling to get it into the parameters of my banner container so the timer is pushing out and creating a space between the banner and nav menu.

Do you know how I can
A) Get it in the banner properly
B) Position the timer to the right, centralised. Kind of opposite to the logo.

Thanks
S

change it from <div class=countdown></div> to be <countdown class="countdown"></countdown>

Sorry Wormopolis - I've troubled you with simple stuff I didn't get before.

Here I am again, totally befuddled by what goes where to do what on this plug-in.

I've tinkered for a couple of hours, the best I can get is just the title & end date displayed in black,
on different lines & no actual countdown. I'm obviously doing everything wrong.

Here's what my forum looks like: 



I'd like to get a countdown to new year (midnight) to appear where I've drawn a yellow box, in white text.

If not there, anywhere up the top end - whether on the home page only or all pages.

What bits of code do I put where please? No combination works for me from the different bits and pieces I've seen over the 12 pages here.

This is what my Layout templates > Boards CCS looks like:



If you could just point out what chunks of code go between what lines please, I'd be a happy man.
