Overview

This module that allows you to select a date and time and then renders a block to show the days, hours, mins and seconds decreasing until the event.
It allows non technical drupal users options to colour the countdown label text, countdown numbers and countdown background to suit their website colour scheme. You can also add your own countdown label text.

Features

  • Countdown to a future date / time displayed in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
  • A countdown label can be added, ie 'Countdown to new year:'.
  • Countdown labels, numbers and background colours can be set in the block configuration.
  • No jquery libraries are used, only simple javascript to ensure compatability with most browsers.
