Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a countdown hack, a user enters a simple bbcode tag in any post and a counter starts, supported inside a post, for example:
[countdown=Apocalypsis]30s[/countdown]
The text that would appear is:
"Apocalypsis is in 30 seconds"
(or 29, 28, seconds... depending on the time that you load the post)
When the counter expires then..
"The counter to Apocalypsis has expired"
will be shown. This phrases are editable.
The counter is live, any time the user refreshes the page the counter is updated. (screenshots below)
The following syntax is supported
[countdown=EVENT]1d23h59m59s[/countdown]
That is, EVENT for the event name
then any combination of a number, followed by a "d", for days
a number, followed by an "h", for hours
a number, followed by an "m", for minutes
a number, followed by a "s", for seconds
The order is important, seconds cannot appear before days. You can only include hours and minutes, or days and minutes... or only days. Any combination as long as the order is correct.
How does it work?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The post's dateline is taken as the date baseline to calculate the time difference, this means that if you edit the post and change the counter, it will always start from the date that the post was published. If you hover over the counter a popup will show when the counter started.
Installation instructions

2. Go to "Plugins & Products" -> "Manage products"
3. Click on "Add/Import product"
4. Browse for "product-cz_countdown.xml" (included in the zip file), and click "Import"
That's it. You can start using [countdown] bbcode tags in any post
