Hi all,
I am building my own website ( very beginner so allready sorry ) but I encountered a problem with a ready to use time counter. the code is as follow <div class="date_countdown"> <div id="timer"> <div id="days" class="date"></div> <div id="hours" class="date"></div> <div id="minutes" class="date"></div> <div id="seconds" class="date"></div> </div> it shows DAYS -413 HOURS 11 MINUTES 43 SECONDS 51 and it is still counting down... My question here is how can I edit the time? whatever I try didnt work |

There's some JavaScript also maybe? In what way do you want to edit the time?

Yeah. But we need to see the actual script you use. And we need to know what you want to change.

Yeah. But we need to see the actual script you use. And we need to know what you want to change. (function ($) { $.fn.downCount = function (options, callback) { var settings = $.extend({ date: null, offset: null }, options); // Throw error if date is not set if (!settings.date) { $.error('Date is not defined.'); } // Throw error if date is set incorectly if (!Date.parse(settings.date)) { $.error('Incorrect date format, it should look like this, 12/24/2012 12:00:00.'); } // Save container var container = this; /** * Change client's local date to match offset timezone * @return {Object} Fixed Date object. */ var currentDate = function () { // get client's current date var date = new Date(); // turn date to utc var utc = date.getTime() + (date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000); // set new Date object var new_date = new Date(utc + (3600000*settings.offset)) return new_date; }; /** * Main downCount function that calculates everything */ function countdown () { var target_date = new Date(settings.date), // set target date current_date = currentDate(); // get fixed current date // difference of dates var difference = target_date - current_date; // if difference is negative than it's pass the target date if (difference < 0) { // stop timer clearInterval(interval); if (callback && typeof callback === 'function') callback(); return; } // basic math variables var _second = 1000, _minute = _second * 60, _hour = _minute * 60, _day = _hour * 24; // calculate dates var days = Math.floor(difference / _day), hours = Math.floor((difference % _day) / _hour), minutes = Math.floor((difference % _hour) / _minute), seconds = Math.floor((difference % _minute) / _second); // fix dates so that it will show two digets days = (String(days).length >= 2) ? days : '0' + days; hours = (String(hours).length >= 2) ? hours : '0' + hours; minutes = (String(minutes).length >= 2) ? minutes : '0' + minutes; seconds = (String(seconds).length >= 2) ? seconds : '0' + seconds; // based on the date change the refrence wording var ref_days = (days === 1) ? 'day' : 'days', ref_hours = (hours === 1) ? 'hour' : 'hours', ref_minutes = (minutes === 1) ? 'minute' : 'minutes', ref_seconds = (seconds === 1) ? 'second' : 'seconds'; // set to DOM container.find('.days').text(days); container.find('.hours').text(hours); container.find('.minutes').text(minutes); container.find('.seconds').text(seconds); container.find('.days_ref').text(ref_days); container.find('.hours_ref').text(ref_hours); container.find('.minutes_ref').text(ref_minutes); container.find('.seconds_ref').text(ref_seconds); }; // start var interval = setInterval(countdown, 1000); }; })(jQuery); |

Do you have a link to the site that provided the script? There should be some documentation.

According to https://github.com/sonnyt/downCount it seems you need to change the null values here:
CODE $.fn.downCount = function (options, callback) { var settings = $.extend({ date: null, offset: null }, options); to (for example) this: CODE $('.countdown').downCount({ date: '08/27/2013 12:00:00', offset: -5 }, function () { alert('WOOT WOOT, done!'); }); EDIT: or am I looking at the same script? Not familiar with Github's layout. This post has been edited by Christian J: Nov 13 2020, 08:07 AM |

Not familiar with Github's layout. =D thank you for the fast replies ! but the counter is not changing... still the same countdown as in the picture. I tried all available options but I think there may be a malfuntion somewhere. |
