I built a module that uses this module to create configurable countdown blocks. I am considering releasing it as a module on d.o but wanted to check with you first to see if maybe it might be better suited being packaged with this module since it is really just more of an extension of this module.

I will attach a tar of the module to let you look at and see if you'd like to include the functionality into this module, either as a add-on module or as a add-on code into this module.

If you do want to include it in the module I'd be happy to come on as a co-maintainer to support it.

This is definitely something that could be in the module itself, since it's just a single block. If you put together a patch, I'm sure people would love it being part of the module itself!

I install this, but I can't find any block. Somethings I miss here ;-) ?

Just so you know I had a problem with this earlier today, when using the date_popup form element where it wasn't storing the time, so You may want to watch out for that. I am doing what I can to fix that before posting a ready to go version for Rob to add to this module.

I truly appreciate the work accomplished on both of these modules.

I am using at the top of a webform that is automatically unpublished with the scheduler module. Having a prominent countdown displayed is the pièce de résistance.

Thumbs up! This add-on was a big help.

The block didn't work on a German-language site (probably won't work on any non-English site).

Attached patch fixes this problem.

Hi.
date_api is a sub-module that comes with http://drupal.org/project/date

This works when I'm logged into an account, and doesn't show up if I'm logged out. I don't see any permission settings. Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thank you.

new 614760.jquery_countdown.countdown-block.patch10.88 KB

Here is arcaneadam's module, with dirkgomez's fix, and a few clean-ups and extras of my own:

- block caching set to global (not sure that's the right thing on multilingual sites though)
- added an admin title setting
- tidied the form up a bit
- fixed block title not getting saved
- ran through Coder module.

I've kept it as a separate module, as it has the date_api dependency which would encumber someone installing this package just to use the theme_jquery_countdown() function -- but I'm happy to rework it as a patch for jquery_countdown.module itself.
