Hello,

I am using the countdown timer from the page “teaser-simple.html”, but can’t figure out how to use it. I’ve been researching it since 1pm this afternoon. I have a monthly photo contest – the next day for the best picture to be selected is Nov. 15, 2016 and a new winner will be selected on the 15th of every month. I am not a web pro and so hopefully the instructions can be dumbed down a bit.

Thanks,
Shawn

Hello,

You need edit this code in the file teaser-simple.html and write your date:
```
<script>
        $(function(){
            var newYear = (new Date().getFullYear())+1;
            function setTimer(){                        
                var today = new Date();
                var finalTime = new Date("Sep,1,"+newYear);
                var interval = finalTime - today;
                if(interval<0) interval = 0;
                var days = parseInt(interval/(1000*60*60*24));
                var daysLeft = interval%(1000*60*60*24);
                var hours = parseInt(daysLeft/(1000*60*60));
                var hoursLeft = daysLeft%(1000*60*60);
                var minutes = parseInt(hoursLeft/(1000*60));
                var minutesLeft = hoursLeft%(1000*60);
                var seconds = parseInt(minutesLeft/(1000));
                $('.days').text(days);
                $('.hours').text(hours);
                $('.minutes').text(minutes);
                $('.seconds').text((seconds<10)?'0'+seconds:seconds);
            }
            setTimer();
            setInterval(function(){setTimer();}, 1000);
        });
    </script>
```

Hello,

I know that much – I just don’t know how – I’ve entered a new starting/end date in every place I can think of and I can’t seem to get it to work. Knowing that the next contest ends on Nov. 15, 2016, how and where would you enter that information? Does it require a special format? Do I have to enter the current date? The documentation that came with the template doesn’t discuss this at all.

Thanks,
Shawn
