javascript JQuery Countdown timer

[ReeganNaidoo]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone attempted to try and configure a javascript/Jquery Countdown Timer to function in BC? were you successful?

My theory:

Install javascript/Jquery  Countdown Timer to "Online Shop LayoutsIndividual Product - Large".

*Timer will activate based on  tag "Release date of product"  {tag_releasedate} 

and

*Timer will end  based on tag "Expiry date of product"  {tag_expirydate}

Will this work?

Regards,

Reegan

Yep

Hi,

Thanks for the response, Liam.

I actually managed to test my theory and got it working... had one minor problem with the format of the {tag_expirydate} which displays 18-SEP-2012 and the script I used required the date format to entered as 18 september 2012,

So I  used a {tag_custom} instead to get it working until I am able to implement a permanent fix to the expirydate format.

I'll post the code I used and what I did to get it working later on this week, just incase someone needs help.

Regards,

Reegan

I just reformat so dates are compiled into formats I need

Glad you got it working.

I am looking for something like this for a site I am building...  did you end up posting the code somewhere?

Hey,

I used this script, because it was simple and met my requirements at the time - http://devingredients.com/2011/11/building-an-extensible-jquery-countdown-plugin-from-scratch/

I did not have time to reformat the script as Liam mentioned only because the project was scrapped, however I did  get the timer to run using {tag_custom} to start and end timer.

Worked like a charm.

Good luck.
