The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 15 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
Okay folks, this is a technical preview of version 2.0 of the Countdown Timer.
The biggest change is that timers can now countdown automagically with JavaScript. Now, a word on the JS. This is the first version and there are only two modes: on and off. That means that you can’t change the format of the Javascript countdown (it will always display the years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds). I’m working on an elegant solution to this problem and would welcome any code, comments, suggestions, feedback, etc.
Other updates include:
- Tabbed $afdnOptions array to make it more readable
- Fixed strtotime typo
- Brought time display inline with current WordPress practice. This fixes the dreaded timezone glitch.
- Strip non-sig zeros option added
- Fixed bug where “No dates present” would _not_ show if the data was returned instead of echo’d
In terms of stability, everything seems fine; I am currently using this Technical Preview on AFdN.
