Countdown Plugin [library support]

[Wormopolis]

do you have a URL I can see this? because I just loaded a countdown on a test site and it was working fine.

Awesome plugin! Works perfect, only it seems the time can't be changed?

I'm using the example:

<countdown class="countdown" title="Halo Tourney" timestamp="March 10 2013 1:00 PM -8" message="Fight!"/>

And that gives the 'Invalid Date Message'

But when i remove the '1:00 PM -8' from the timestamp all works fine.

Any suggestion how the timestamp can contain a time and still works?

This plugin don't seem to work with mobiles? It works from my PC, but when I view my forum on my mobile, it's just the code that shows up.

if you are looking with the mobile version, then NO plugins run on that version.  if you switch to the desktop view on your phone then you see it runs.

Yes, version 2.0.3

hmmm. I tested that string and it didnt give me an error. also you need a </countdown> after the tag or it does weird stuff depending where you put it.

try it without the -8 part

[Wormopolis]

adm1n0 did that work then?

[adm1n0]

No, unfortunately it didn't ..
As soon as the timestamp contain anything else than the date only, I got the 'Invalid Date Message'.

But as my forum is celebrating our one year anniversary today, there's no more need for the plugin anymore.
Ofcourse I still hope this 'bug' can be fixed, for use in the future. Because it's an awesome plugin

Im going to still work on this to recreate it. Just to make sure, can you paste the exact tag you added?

[adm1n0]

This is the code with the time in the timestamp (does not work on my forum, gives the Invalid Date Message)


<countdown class="countdown" title="Remaining time to collect" timestamp="May 12 1:00 PM" />
And the code without the time (works perfect)


<countdown class="countdown" title="Remaining time to collect" timestamp="May 12" />
Thanks for your work on this plugin Wormopolis!

You're trying to self close the tag - which is probably why you're getting the error. Try changing this:


<countdown class="countdown" title="Remaining time to collect" timestamp="May 12 1:00 PM" />


to this:


<countdown class="countdown" title="Remaining time to collect" timestamp="May 12 1:00 PM"></countdown>

Thank you Lynx, but unfortunately still not working..

Just curious, adm1n0 - where are you placing that? Is it in a template, header / footer, etc?

I'm curious, because I have this:


<countdown class="countdown" title="" timestamp="March 31 2017 6:30 PM -4" message="" />


and it works perfectly (when it was dated to show) - but I've got that in my General Notices plugin, which has an HTML box for Event Descriptions.
