Countdown Timer Field

Module description

Countdown timer field module allows you to create countdown timer field to count the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until a specified event. The module uses jQuery Countdown Timer to display the countdown timer in a nice graphical way.

This module is very useful for event content types where you want to display countdown timer for the event.

Requirements / Dependencies

• Date Popup
• Libraries

Recommended versions of Countdown Timer Field!

I recommend version 7.x-3.0. All the bugs recently posted are fixed in this release. This completed tested and bug less release. Created separate javascript file so that translation of javascript strings is possible. Works fine in views with multiple occurrences as well.
When date and time of timer expires then the timer disappears and you can also set "Behavior if no results are available " in views.
No database changes done in this release. You can simply replace the new version with old version.

More feature requests are always welcome.
