Unzip, upload plugin folder to your plugins directory (`/wp-content/plugins/`) 2. Activate plugin 3. Add countdown shortcode anywhere you need it. Check out the included admin help page for complete explanation within WordPress! ## FAQ What’s the shortcode? In full glory: ``` [countdown_timer target_time="2012-05-05 14:03:00" complete_text="It's Done!" format= {CUSTOM HTML FORMAT - SEE BELOW} date_separator='/' time_separator=':' label_format="%s" timezone="America/New_York" ] ``` Developer Hooks The following filters are provided to adjust both the attributes (before rendering) and the format (after rendering). You would use them like: ``` add_filter( 'abt_countdown_timer__pre_render', 'my_countdown_prerender' ); function my_countdown_prerender($attributes) { ... } add_filter( 'abt_countdown_timer__post_render', 'my_countdown_postrender' ); function my_countdown_postrender($output, $attributes) { ... } ``` This is how they’re used in the plugin: ``` // hook - adjust attributes used to render the countdown $attributes = apply_filters( 'abt_countdown_timer__pre_render', $attributes ); // hook - add "before", "after"; alter rendered output $formatted_time = apply_filters( 'abt_countdown_timer__post_render', $formatted_time, $attributes ); ``` Other Options * _Title and Link_ – tooltip text when hovering over timer; optional link from clicking timer * _Timezones_ – specify a timezone for calculations (if different than WP timezone) * _Output format_ – HTML wrapper for result fields; uses special placeholder formats for label, separators, and time values (see `[strftime][]`) * _Date Separator_ – text between date values, if used in _Output Format_ * _Time Separator_ – text between time values, if used in _Output Format_ * _Interval Label_ – wrapper for laber for “Year”, “Month”, etc ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Countdown Timer” is open source software.
