    • [Solved] Contdown plugin error - need help

    Posted by KaiiaK posts: 82 Norway
    this code:
    Copy to clipboard
    {COUNTDOWN(enddate=>April 1 2020)}countdown message{COUNTDOWN}


    correctly produces this when i "Preview"
    3964 days, 9 hours, 8 minutes and 19 seconds countdown message

    but when I "Save" the final result is this:
    -14388 days, -19 hours, -53 minutes and -42 seconds countdown message

    any ideas to fix this would be appreciated. Im on tikiwiki v3
    (It worked correctly when I wrote the code in this forum post)

    I can recreate what you are seeing if I include the ">" after the equal sign. Change it to "=>", or remove it and just use the "=".

    {COUNTDOWN(enddate=>April 1 2020)}countdown message{COUNTDOWN}
    countdown message is over

    or

    {COUNTDOWN(enddate=April 1 2020)}countdown message{COUNTDOWN}
    countdown message is over

    Thanks that is great 😀

    I went to the tiki doc document http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=PluginCountdown&bl=n where I got this error from to correct it. It > is there when I view the page, but when I go to edit it, it is not there.

    If anyone understands how to take away the >, it would be great for everyone reading those instructions.

    Thanks again TomJarvis (who ever you are) you made my morning.😊

    I updated the countdown document page you refereed to so it displays correctly. I think there was a change to the CODE plugin which was causing the ">" to be changed to ">", I added the "ishtml=1" parameter to the CODE plugin which told it not to alter HTML special characters.

    Yes, this comes from a known bug in Tiki 3.0, ans is being patched in order to work without the need of this extra param in folowing releases (4.0 for sure, and 3.1, hopefully).
