PeterP Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Anyone knows how to implement a countdown clock in a post in this forum that is always visible ? I would like to have this "1st DCS Movie Maker Smack-Down" starts in... appear like in the "Ashes Countdown" in this link: http://www.flamingbails.com/t10147-ashes-countdown-clock Edited July 15, 2011 by PeterP
ivanwfr Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I think if it were possible with bbcode, forums would be war zones :gun_smilie:
PeterP Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) You are right and I know :)- thought /searched for a solution that takes a screen of a countdown hosted on another site and updates the picture in the post here in the forum - but didn't found something that works similar this way. edit: So I don't have to run my own server.

ivanwfr Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 If you're ready to be persuasive enough, you could try to beg one of our forum admin for it... That would be something like this: [countdown]11-08-2011 23:59:59[/countdown] Yet another challenge : http://www.msghelp.net/showthread.php?tid=16628 where someone did it :thumbup: yeah, I know, 'm at risk of beeing punished for this! 1

I would like to have this "1st DCS Movie Maker Smack-Down" starts in... appear like in the "Ashes Countdown" in this link: http://www.flamingbails.com/t10147-ashes-countdown-clock The countdown from that page is done in Flash and uploaded to this page: http://i.imgci.com/homepage/uk/Ashes_v7.swf So you would need the same.

Yurgon Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Anyone knows how to implement a countdown clock in a post in this forum that is always visible ? How about this one? 1st DCS Movie Maker Smack-Down" starts in... I think the contest is a great idea. My rig currently doesn't run A-10C, but if you like it, consider this my contribution. :-) It's a static img, no fancy countdown, so the users have to reload the page to get the current countdown. But it seems to be better than the link you currently use. You can simply use the following code: 1st DCS Movie Maker Smack-Down" starts in... [ IMG ]http://www.yurgon.de/countdown/dcs_moviemaker_countdown.gif[/ IMG ] For anyone interested, here's how it's done. 2

To be honest, I wanted to explore date-diff-calculation and image rendering in PHP, so this was a perfect playground. :-)
