DDay

Description

The countdown can works in two ways : for futur and past events : until the events (in 43 days for example) and since the events (for 96 days)

So this plugin is very interesting for major (or minor) events of the life, birthdays, etc…

Feature List

• Unlimited DDays stocked in the database
• Function of repetition of the Dday. For example : every year for birthday.
• Posibility to give a title, an URL, a description…
• Customizable format of display (ex : The balise %TITLE% will be replaced by the title of the DDay). This allows a simply translation in any language.
• Advanced interface of management of the DDays : selection of the order by drag and drop, realtime form validation.
• Posibility to insert the list of the DDays in the sidebar or to insert a specific DDay in a post

1. Unzip the file

3. Activate the Plugin
4. Visit the management page in the administration of WordPress
5. Change the format of display to your taste and to your language for non english-speaking people (See it in “Edit Options” at the bottom ). ITS VERY IMPORTANT FOR NON ENGLISH USERS!!!

Now all the dates are coded in GMT so there should be no problem with it anymore. But the dates saved before this upgrade may lagged by an error of some hours. You will need to fix them manually (just go in the admin of DDay and edit the time of these ddays to what you want it is). I am very sorry for this inconvenience.
