Thankyou for this. Great for putting in the footer to let my customers know that they need to hurry up and give me more information before the GO-LIVE date (indicated by your module). Nice.

Works like a charm, thanks !

I've just added this line to the params section mod_ahcountdown.xml file to be able to choose a module class suffix :


Maybe you should add it to your add-on ?

This is a great countdown module, you need to change the CSS to display how you want.

Uses UTC so you may have to adjust your delay.

Reliable and neat code.

Thanks for your review. The module now handles timezones correct, I think. Try out the new version, if you want.
