I’ve coded and provide support this plugin for this plugin as best I can in my off hours since I am a full-time engineer with a real, full-time job and really only do this programming thing on the side for the love of it. If you would like to continue to see updates, please consider donating:

Three ‘bugs’ in the plugin
1) you need to set the timezone like date_default_timezone_set(“America/New_York”);
2) in fergcorp_milestone.php line 171 is
if($eventDiff >= 86400){
it needs to be
if($eventDiff >= 0){
to show you are on the last day before the event.
3) You need to add
$value = 0;
$unit = ‘days’;
after line 158 which is
public function calculate_units($eventDiff, $eventDate){
to prevent an error on line 188 because you do not initialize $value or $unit at the start so with 1 day left, they are not set
Hi
Is there anyway of changing the date set? We’ve put up the counter from today, but it doesn’t include today in its countdown (which is a bit odd). Cheers

I made two small changes to get it to work for me.
1) edit fergcorp_milestone.php and change line 169 from
if($eventDiff >= 86400){
to
if($eventDiff >= 0){
2) add in a default timezone by changing line 192 from
public function widget( $args, $instance ){
to
public function widget( $args, $instance ){
date_default_timezone_set(“America/New_York”);
YMMV
Hi. I’m using the “Milestone” plugin in my site, and it is off because it is not following my time zone, I don’t know what time zone it is following. For example, I have an event tomorrow at 8:00 am and its supposed to be only 15 hours away as I write this, but the Milestone reflects it as 22 hours away. By the way, my time zone is +8 UTC. Please fix as soon as possible, thanks.
