## Beskrivelse

Countdown Timer allows you to setup one or more dates to count down to or away from.

Events can be inserted into the sidebar using the widget, or within posts and pages
using shortcodes.

Currently supports 22 languages.

### Translations

#### Using another language

You’ll need to modify your wp-config.php file. To do this…

 1. Open your `wp-config.php` file in a text editor and search for: `define ('WPLANG','');`
 2. Edit this line according to the language you want to use (and is available). For
    example, for Deutsch spoken in Germany, you must add: `('WPLANG', 'de_DE');`
 3. Once you’ve added your language code, save the file.
 4. Upload the modified wp-config.php file into the WordPress root directory.

Of course, you’ll replace de_DE with the language extension that you want to use,
unless of course you actually did want the German language translation. For more
information, consult [Installing WordPress in Your Language](https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language)
on the WordPress Codex

#### Languages Available

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin using your preferred method of choice. Using the built-in WordPress
    installer is the preferred choice, but you can also do things the hard/manual way.
 2. Activate the timer.
 3. Events can be added and other settings modified in Settings > Countdown Timer in
    The Dashboard.

#### Inserting countdown timers into your blog

There are three places you can insert a countdown timer:

 1. Sidebar (using the widget)
 2. A post or page (using shortcodes)
 3. PHP (experts only)

#### Adding to the sidebar

Add the widget to the sidebar by going to Appearances > Widget in The Dashboard.

#### Adding to a post or page

If you want to insert the Countdown Timer into a page or post, you can use the following
shortcodes to return all or a limited number of Countdown Timers, respectively:
[
fergcorp_cdt] [fergcorp_cdt max=##]

Where _##_ is maximum number of results to be displayed, ordered by date.

If you want to insert individual countdown timers, such as in posts or on pages,
you can use the following shortcode:

    ```
    [fergcorp_cdt_single date="ENTER_DATE_HERE"]
    ```

Example:
 Time until our wedding: [fergcorp_cdt_single date=”08 December 2012″]

Where “ENTER_DATE_HERE” uses PHP’s strtotime function and will parse about any English
textual date/time description (such as “08 December 2012”). A complete list of valid
formats can be found on PHP’s [Supported Date and Time Format](http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php)
page.

#### PHP

Countdown Timer also provides a PHP function designed to be accessed publicly so
you can include it in elements of your site that may not be in The Loop.

    ```
    fergcorp_countdownTimer(##)
    ```

Where _##_ is the maximum number of events you wish to be displayed. If _$maxEvents_
is not given, the function will return all timers.

Events are automatically sorted by date of occurrence.

Note: You should also encapsulate calls with “function_exists” to prevent unintentional
fatal errors if the plugin is deactivated.

#### Limiting the number of countdown timers displayed

If you’re using the widget, there is an option to set the maximum number of timers
shown. If you are using the PHP code, _$maxEvents_ is the maximum number of events
you wish to be displayed.

Events are automatically sorted by date of occurrence.

#### Changing the font, size, and style using CSS

You can makes changes to the appearance of Countdown Timer display using CSS.

The following CSS classes are available:

 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_li` styles each List Item, each item encompasses
   one countdown event
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_title` styles the title of the event
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_linkTitle` styles the title of an event if it 
   is linked
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_time` styles the actual countdown timer
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_timeUnit` styles the units (e.g. “25 days”)
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_year` styles the year text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_month` styles the month text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_week` styles the week text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_day` styles the day text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_hour` styles the hour text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_minute` styles the minute text
 * `fergcorp_countdownTimer_second` styles the second text

## FAQ

  How do I prevent the timer from wrapping my countdown?

Add the following to your CSS file: .fergcorp_countdownTimer_timeUnit {white-space:
nowrap;}

  I have JavaScript countdown enabled and it works on the administration page in
the Example Display, but not on my main site!

This, unfortunately, is a problem with your theme, and not with Countdown Timer.
Themes _must_ call wp_footer(), which is a standard hook for WordPress. Without 
it, many other plugins may not work properly either.

Your best bet to fix the problem is to modify the `footer.php` file and put `<?php
wp_footer(); ?>` right before `</html>`. Then contact the person you designed the
theme and let them know of their coding oversight.

  Your program is broken! The count down is off by XX days!

Well, not quite. As it turns out, determining the number of months between two dates
is harder than one might think. As you know, all months don’t have the same number
of days. Thus, some months have 31 days, others have 30 days, and then there’s February.
It’s pretty trivial to figure out the number of complete months between two days(
if complete months exist).

However, how many months exist between January 15 and February 20? There are 36 
days, which is obviously more than the number of days in any given month we have,
so the timer should display 1 month and how many days? Six days (30 days/month)?
Five days (31 days/month)? Eight days (28 days/month since the date does end in 
February)?

I happened to mention my problem to a friend who said that the US military decided
that there were 30 days in every month and to prorate the addition day (or less 
day(s)) for all the months that have more (or less) than 30 days.

  Wait, so how /do/ you count months?

Using the above example of January 15 to February 20, there would be one month and
five days. February 15 to March 20 would also be one month and five days. Why? January
15 to February 15 is one month. February 15 to February 20 is 5 days. Put them together
and you get one month and five days.

  Where I am supposed to set the count down time?

Log into your WordPress Dashboard. Expand the Settings menu, click on Countdown 
Timer. Scroll down to One Time Events. In the dates field, type the date you want
to count down to. Fill in the event title field with what text you want displayed.
Click Update Events.

  There’s a foreign (non-English) word that’s wrong, what do I do?

There are two ways to fix this. First, you can always contact me via email, blog
comment, support forum, etc and let me know about the error. I don’t usually issue
bug fix updates just for language errors, but it will make it into the next update
cycle.

Second, if you’re handy with poEdit or something of the like, you can make the changes
yourself and email me the .po and .mo files (although I really only need the .po
file).

  How come there are long periods of time when you don’t respond or update the plugin?

I’m an engineer and have to retreat to my cave from time to time. Also, I do this
for fun. That means work must come first (unless you want to pay me, then we can
talk). Since I work during the week, you may only hear from me during the weekend.

   then the code

#### 1.4

Release date: 03/16/2006

This is the first release using the WordPress SVN. It’s kind of been cool using 
the SVN because it is easier to see what changes have been made from version to 
version. In any event, this release has a couple of updates. First, there is an 
option to include the timer from within the WP Loop, that is you can now display
the timer from within a post or page (see instructions for the specifics). The idea
came from Ronny a mere four days ago, just to give you an idea of the turn around
time on suggestions to release. Because of the way the plugin is implemented, I 
also had to modify the main function that gets the ball rolling on displaying the
timer. It’s designed to be backwards compatible, so you shouldn’t have any problems.
I also had to rewrite parts of the version check system to work with the SVN. The
format is actually much better and just calls one text file which lists the latest
version (i.e. ‘1.4?). It compares that to the current version and let’s you know
if there’s a new version. Simple! As always, you can turn the feature off.

#### 1.3

Release date: 03/16/2006:

I’ve already received some preliminary feedback on 1.2 (thanks Dave), so I’ve made
a couple of updates. First, there are actually instructions for configuring the 
onHover Time Format option. Second, if you leave onHover Time Format blank, it will
remove the dashed underline on the timer so no one is confused. I also fixed a really
stupid bug, I never but a stripslashes in. So if you tried using something that 
needed escaping (such as an apostrophe), you would get a slash. That doesn’t happen
anymore. Enjoy!

#### 1.2

Release date: 03/13/2006:

Development has been slow. Not really a lot to do. But version 1.2 offers some great
things, including a bug fix! Deleting two or more events doesn’t make the plugin
freak out anymore (the bug fix). You can also customize how the onHover time is 
displayed, including not displaying it at all (just leave it blank). Because you
can leave it blank, there is no default; but you can use and PHP ‘date()’ format.
I recommend ‘j M Y, G:i:s’. I also added a six month delay before the date on recurring
events is reset’although as I’m writing this, I realize there’s a slight bug there,
nothing critical though. I welcome any new ideas, just leave a comment down below!

#### 1.1

Release date: 11/28/2005:

NOTICE: Copyright format changed from MIT to GNU GPL as of version 1.1
 Not a whole
lot of major thing. Thanks to Benoit Kechid for catching a calculation and syntax
error. There was a request for making things linkable, so you can now add a link
an event. The time is also has a dashed underlined and if you roll over it with 
your mouse, the date and time of the event are displayed. I don’t have anymore ideas
for this plugin, so unless I you email me with something that you would like, there
probably won’t be any more updates.

#### 1.0

Release date: 10/05/2005:

You can now set recurring dates, sort of. The plugin can currently handle things
that happen on a given day of a given month every year (such as a birthday). The
plugin will also now check for updates whenever you are in the admin panel. Download
and copy to your plugins directory, then rename it to .php

#### 0.95

Release date: 09/26/2005:

Fixed a Warning message (thanks to cordney* for the heads up). Also changed a few
things: If you have ‘Automatically delete ‘One Time Events’ on, only events that
that do NOT have ‘Display ‘Time since” will be deleted. Also, the file is now a 
PHPS file, not zip file. Download and copy to your plugins directory, then rename
it to .php

#### 0.92

Release date: 09/23/2005:

This version adds the option to automatically delete One Time Events that have all
ready occured. If you don’t choose to automatically delete the events, they will
be displayed as ‘Time since’ after the event occurs. Small issue I’m still working
on: events are only erased when you update timer options.

#### 0.8

Release date: 07/23/2005:

This is a backend change. The dates.txt file has been replaced with an entry in 
the WordPress Database. Unfortantly, you’ll have to manually transfer your events
into the new form. Once they are in the form, they are automatically sorted, with
events ending soonest on the top.

#### 0.7.1

Release date: 05/23/2005:

Changed an internal function name reference due to a potential conflict with another
plugin (Thanks Robert)

#### 0.7

Release date: 05/20/2005:

Added Admin menu. Allows user to update information via web-interface now.

#### 0.6.1

Release date: 05/16/2005:

Fixed small math error in cdt_format() on line 47.

#### 0.6

Release date: 05/15/2005:
