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>

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

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
