Countdown timer?

Hi @antibalashifi glad you are enjoying the plugin.

Thanks for the feature request. Simple Banner’s settings are designed to give control over the visual placement/design and give the user ultimate control over the content of their banner. Any feature that adds content to the banner is hard to implement because 1) a large majority of people most likely don’t need it and 2) even if they do, my specific implementation won’t necessarily give them exactly what they want.

Specifically for the countdown timer, that is something you can implement with the already existing features of the plugin, https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_countdown.asp . If you need more help implementing a timer like this please let me know and I will look into it when I get time.

Thanks for the quick response. As a fellow software designer I totally understand why you may not want to add that feature.

It would be great to find a direction for people like me who aren’t coders but can hack something together if shown an example of what they can use.

Only issue with the js example is that you can’t set a time zone from what I can tell, so it takes the time from the user’s computer.

Looking forward to your response, thanks again.

Hi @antibalashifi you can set the timezone in the countdown date:

new Date("Jan 5, 2021 15:37:25 EST").getTime();

Oh, amazing — thank you!
