Create a dynamic counter

  • Hi, I would like to show in a counter the number of years of the institution I am building a web page for. How can I do that? Do I have to use java script combined with the code? Can you show me an example of how to implement it?

    Hi, I found out how to pass dynamic values as parameters to a shortcode.

    In my functions.php I created an own shortcode with an attribute $date_of_birth. Then I calculate the age, and pass it on to the real counter shortcode using do_shortcode().

    function age_counter_shortcode($atts) {
	 extract( shortcode_atts( array(
	'date_of_birth'	 => '01.01.2000',
	 ), $atts ) );
         $counter_value = (date('Y') - date('Y',strtotime($date_of_birth)));
	
	return do_shortcode("[jellyfish_counter
		end='{$counter_value}']");
	
}
add_shortcode('age_counter', 'age_counter_shortcode');
