Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
Hi Oleg – thank you for the info. I’ve also had a brief back-and-forth with Stef over email and you’re right: it’s doLabel(). I will figure out a workaround.

Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
If you pass it through rah_replace, mind that it’s actually <br />, that your browser’s inspector displays as <br>.

Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
It’s like you’re in my head, Oleg. I tried rah_replace with <br> and it didn’t work, so left it until I had time to investigate further. Once again you’ve saved me a bunch of time and work -thank you very much!

Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
For completeness, here’s the code I used to get around the doLabel() snag:
<h4 style="padding-top:0rem;">
<small>Exp: <txp:if_expires>
<txp:expires format="%b %e, '%y" /> (
<txp:rah_replace from="<br />" to="">
<txp:smd_countdown to="expires">
<txp:else />
<txp:smd_time_info display="week" label="week, weeks" />
</txp:smd_countdown>
</txp:rah_replace>
)
<txp:else />
none
</txp:if_expires>
</small>
</h4>Mucho thanks to Stef and Oleg.

Temporary workaround: look at the post above yours :-)
Longer term (i.e. hopefully today, maybe later than that) I’m going to remove reliance on the core’s pesky doLabel() and write my own version in this plugin without the forced break.
Longer, longer term I might finally get round to fixing or improving the core’s doLabel which has been on the ToDo list since 2009…

You could use rah_replace (untested):
<txp:rah_replace from="<br>" to="">
<txp:smd_countdown to="31 Dec 2014 23:59:59">
<txp:else />
<txp:smd_time_info display="day"
labelafter="1" labelspacer=" "
label="d." show_zeros="0" />
<txp:smd_time_info display="hour"
labelafter="1" labelspacer=" "
label="h." show_zeros="0" />
<txp:smd_time_info display="minute"
labelafter="1" labelspacer=" "
label="m." show_zeros="0" />
</txp:smd_countdown>

Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
Posted some changes to my github development version which should fix the annoying rogue <br> tag.
Note it’s a backwards-incompatible change, as there is no tag added at all now, so if you want to retain the old behaviour you’ll need to add labeltag="br" to your <txp:smd_time_info> tags.
There might be a better way to do this, hence I’ve not release v0.20 yet. But please report on the success or otherwise of the next version. To test it, either use Plugin Composer to upload the entire .php file from Github, or copy and paste the code block between # --- BEGIN PLUGIN CODE --- and # --- END PLUGIN CODE --- markers over the existing plugin code from the Admin->Plugins panel.
Ideas welcome on improvements or ways to retain backwards compatibility.

Sure, just use any of the freely available jQuery countdown timers and seed its start value from this plugin on page load.

Re: smd_countdown: time to an event
Maintenance release has been published that just registers the public tags to avoid the testing/debug warnings, and for forthcoming Txp 4.8.0 compatibility.
