How To Post A Countdown To Your Domain Sales

[Jeremy]

We have made it very simple for you to add a countdown to your sales if you wish to have a specified end time. If countdown's get utilized or if the interest is there we will make it much easier by adding form boxes on all marketplace posts for you to add a countdown clock.

In the meantime you can use the BBcode as shown in the example below:



Use this code and just replace the date, time, and text

[countdown=12/31/2020 5:00 AM;It is finally here]Count down:[/countdown]

How many days until Christmas:

Whats the trick to get the text to show? I cut and pasted, changed a few things but the text doesn't show up

I put in the following

*countdown=10/27/2011 8:35 AM;SOLD]This text replaced Count Down:*/countdown]

*i had to add the * and replace the [ to not have it say SOLD in the code above

to get:



- might be useful to add a timestamp as to when he timer hit's the 'sold' mark.

If I understand what you mean, then once the timer hits 0, anything after the ; will be displayed.

[Spry]

yes, once the timer hits the specified time, the text after the ; is displayed.

I could not get the text that was listed AFTER the ] to display

I was recommending a timestamp when the countdown hits zero... like this timer reached zero at 10/27/2011 8:35AM

I got the man behind the curtain looking into just making it into a simple form that you input the end date/time and will automatically add it as BBcode on the bottom of each of your posts in that sales thread. If you guys like the idea, I'm down to make it simpler.

Can you add something that prints out auction ended whenever it's finished?

I can't believe I am even working on marketplace stuff again..........
