[fergcorp_cdt_single date="ENTER_DATE_HERE"]is a shortcode that you should place in the content of your blog post or page. Valid examples of “ENTER_DATE_HERE” are anything parseable by http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.phpWith regard to using
fergcorp_countdownTimer(##), setting ## to 1 will provide just the first timer.You can read more here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/countdown-timer/installation/

In reply to: [Countdown Timer] [Plugin: Countdown Timer] remove dotted lineThe underline occurs because the plugin uses the
<abbr>tag. The easiest/most appropriate way to remove the underline is to use CSS:.fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_time { border: none; }@theturingmachine: This isn’t within the scope of what the plugin was designed to do. You could probably mash something up using CSS, but that’s outside the scope of the help I’m able to provide gratis.
@xdest: what does the tool tip say, exactly?

In reply to: A "Unit" Countdown Timer?@thealchemist: This is outside of the scope of what countdown timer is designed to do. I think your best bet would be to write a plugin specific to that.
Can you be more specific about what you’re trying to do?

In reply to: editing a countdown timer on a holding pageWhat version of Countdown Timer are you using?
Usually when an event comes up as Dec 31st, 1969 or something around that time, it means that the information was not parsed correctly. Countdown Timer uses Unix time to keep track of events to count down to and if a variable (such as “October 9, 2011”) can’t be parsed correctly it ends up returning “0” (instead of something closer to 1320796800). “0” is the Unix Epoch and corresponds to January 1st, 1970 UCT (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Unix_time). Adjusting for timezones gets you back to Dec 31st, 1969.
Have you tried “9 October 2011”?

In reply to: [Countdown Timer] Count Down Timer RestartAs of this time, no. I had some some work years ago to implement that concept, but ended up pulling it out because there wasn’t much demand and it was difficult to implement. If there is increased demand, I may consider putting it back in.
I’m happy to answer questions and help fix bugs. However, I don’t have the time to help develop new code to one-off requests like this. If you are in need of someone to program, my services are available for hire.
It’s going to require a bit of modification to the code, what have you tried?
What’s the goal? There may be a better way.

In reply to: [Countdown Timer] [Plugin: Countdown Timer] Seperate eventsIt doesn’t matter where it goes as long as it goes somewhere appropriate. Putting it in style.css works, however you may lose the change if you ever update the theme.
You may consider using a plugin, such as Header-Footer (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/header-footer/). In that case, you would be need to add the CSS as a Style element:
<style type="text/css"> .fergcorp_countdownTimer_event_li{ margin: 2em; } </style>Forum: Plugins
