If you want the hours option to work, you have to change the $countdowndate variable in the plugin to mktime($hour, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year).
Then you can hour=”[0-24]” to your tag pair (hour without ‘s’).

This works but is 1 day out, every time! Easily fixed by adding 1 to days_left variable in the plugin. I’ve compared results to other online calculators as well as manually counting and it’s definitely 1 day out! I think! :-)

Works perfectly. Combine this with Solspace’s Calendar module to display dynamic event countdown. Thanks Jack!

Basic countdown timer. Only displays days and hours.
In order to use this you must first put it in a folder called Countdown and then add it to your system/Third-Party directory.
