"Next Show Countdown"

[Tzesi]

Put this code on the header

<script type="text/javascript">
//######################################################################################


dateFuture1 = new Date(2011,11,29,21,0,0);



//###################################
//nothing beyond this point
function GetCount(ddate,iid){

	dateNow = new Date();	//grab current date
	amount = ddate.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();	//calc milliseconds between dates
	delete dateNow;

	// if time is already past
	if(amount < 0){
		document.getElementById(iid).innerHTML="SmackDown is ON!";
	}
	// else date is still good
	else{
		days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";

		amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs

		days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
		amount=amount%86400;

		hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
		amount=amount%3600;

		mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
		amount=amount%60;

		secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds

		out += days +" "+((days==1)?"day":"days")+", ";
		out += hours +" "+((hours==1)?"hour":"hours")+", ";
		out += mins +" "+((mins==1)?"min":"mins")+", ";
		out += secs +" "+((secs==1)?"sec":"secs")+", ";
		out = out.substr(0,out.length-2);
		document.getElementById(iid).innerHTML=out;

		setTimeout(function(){GetCount(ddate,iid)}, 1000);
	}
}

window.onload=function(){
	GetCount(dateFuture1, 'countbox1');
	
};
</script>
<div id="countbox1"></div>

Dates might be slightly off.
You will need to customize text color and size.

Next PPV would be better imo, I assume most fans know that Smackdown is on at the same time every week.

Thanks, but I think it will look ugly as just text. Might use it though to make a graphical clock counting downwards for example. Similar to the one on wwe.com with their PPV countdown. Also, debating whether to include SmackDown since it's taped, or just do RAW's/PPV's or even just PPV's.

@"Crayo", I say just PPVs

@[Jonathan]

That's how you tag! Lol.

Yeah this will be a PPV count, but it'll be more "graphical" than this.

 

[seabs]

@[Crayo] use the countdown clock from jerichos debut and make it for ppvs.

 

[Crayo]

Ah nice one. Forgot about that one. Would still need to get the graphic interface designed etc. Hoping we can do it in time.

 

[Roach]

Sounds like a good idea, but yeah I would do it for just PPV's.

 

[Tzesi]

I will be writing a new code.
Wait for it

 

[Solidus1]

Header is inappropriate too I think. A small ticker in the footer would be useful, but not invasive.

 

[Crayo]

That's where we'll probably put it. Or perhaps a side-bar, dunno how popular that one would be though.

 

[Lith]

Side bar might take up too much space for smaller-screened users.

I'm loving that look to be honest

Is this still getting implemented? That picture drawn up looks really good, and it'll be a really handy feature to have.
