Extension talk:Countdown

I can't seem to get this extension to work.

I uploaded the files, added the require_once to my localsettings.php.

Anything I could be missing?


 * I fixed a small instantiation bug. Try the latest version that I just posted. --Gri6507 02:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't get it to work, either. Text like this is displayed instead: "UNIQ70dd48541bd7958a-countdown-00000002-QINU" --201.51.194.48 18:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Try now, I have posted a version which works for me. Kuebel 09:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

This issue is caused (I believe) by a php extension which encrypts the php code. I had to un-install this package to get it to work. Joelb 10:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

-- I get the extension to work, except my issue is it causes my specil:version page to show blank. Is there a fix? --216.223.16.33 19:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've got the same problem: Empty page content (just title and left navigation) on Special:Version - I'm using MediaWiki: 1.11.1 on PHP: 5.2.5 (cgi-fcgi) with MySQL: 5.0.45-community-nt. PHP shows no errors at all if display_errors = On and error_reporting = E_ALL. Hope you can terminate that bug, I really liked that extension! --87.174.78.63 22:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I've tested this in MW v1.11.0 and 1.11.2 with PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) and MySQL: 5.0.45. I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you please make sure that you have all of the code correctly copied into your local file? --Gri6507 01:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I have the blank Version page problem also. I fixed it by removing this part of the code:

$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array(               'version'     => '1.2',                'name'        => 'Countdown',                'author'      => array('Peter Strömberg', 'Paul Grinberg'),                'email'       => 'pez@pezius.com, gri6507 at yahoo dot com',                'url'         => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Countdown',                'description' => 'adds &lt;countdown&gt; tags',                );

Summertime
They Extension does not work correctly while summertime, don't know where the problem realy is, because I don't know the javascript timefunctions, but maybe the javascript should use the servertime to calculate the difference because the servertime is always given in UTC. --DaSch 22:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It sounds like the issue is just with your wiki user account. Have you made sure that your user preferences are configured correctly? --Gri6507 13:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
