Hi all,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you!
This tutorial will explain how you can count down to a day or an event of your choice.
Download Date plugin
rex_rainbow date plugin (http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/)
Logic : the rex_rainbow date plugin will provide you the Unix style time in millisecond that can be exploited to to make a countdown time for a particular day or event as explained below.
@Convert number of seconds into hours, minutes and seconds and return an array containing those values to create count down timer.
// variables
timeStamp = Number of seconds to parse // this is fteched from dae plugin
secondsInAMinute = 60
secondsInAnHour = 60 * secondsInAMinute
secondsInADay = 24 * secondsInAnHour
// extract days
days = floor(inputSeconds / secondsInADay)
// extract hours
hourSeconds = inputSeconds % secondsInADay
hours = floor(hourSeconds / secondsInAnHour)
// extract minutes
minuteSeconds = hourSeconds % secondsInAnHour
minutes = floor(minuteSeconds / secondsInAMinute)
// extract the remaining seconds
remainingSeconds = minuteSeconds % secondsInAMinute
seconds = ceil(remainingSeconds)
declare following variables for conversion.
write a function to convert the fetched seconds into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
call this function every second for real time update.
That it, hope might be useful in some way.
