Hi JetLi

Many thanks for the update of this mod.

I just installed it and in admin, when I was setting up an event, the 'day' and all the following figures (time etc) were misaligned.  I filled them in and when I tried to Save' I got :-
Untrapped Error :
Illegal octal digit '9' at ./Variables/countdown.txt line 10, at end of line Compilation failed in require at ./Admin/CountdownAdmin.pl line 29. Compilation failed in require at AdminIndex.pl line 123. '

Have I done something wrong or is this a bug, please?

Regards.

John.

PS - Sorry I just realised that I might have posted this in the wrong place - think it should be in 'Mod Troubleshooting'?
Apologies.

wrong input. Days should be 01 - 09

open Variables/countdown.txt and fix it.

Thanks for your quick reply, JetLi.

I looked at Variables\countdown.txt and the day was 09 !
I altered it to a straight '9' with no zero and it works!

The formatting in the admin screen still seems not aligned properly after the  'Target month of countdown (in number format)'.

(I tried to post a JPG image here using the 'Insert Image' button but couldn't!)

Regards

John.

The misalignment in the admin screen appears to be something to do with the length of the lines in Languages/English/Countdown.lng :-

Quote:
'03' => 'Target month of countdown (in number format)',
'04' => 'Target date of countdown',
'05' => 'Target hour of countdown (in 24-hour format)',


If it is altered to :-

Quote:
'03' => 'Target month of countdown',
'04' => 'Target date of countdown',
'05' => 'Target hour of countdown',


the formatting appears correct.

I assume that whatever formats the text (elsewhere in the routine) needs altering but I do not have sufficient knowledge to find out where  Smiley.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

John.

maybe a glitch ...

icon display works great in the default template:
Forum/yabbfiles/ModImages/Countdown/default/countdown.gif

But if using another different template:
Forum/yabbfiles/ModImages/Countdown/midnyte/countdown.gif

requires coping icon to a newly created folder under Modimages/Countdown (for each template used).
