Is there some way to implement a 'countdown to event' function using TW5's macro functions and fields, rather than using Javascript? I've seen *@Tobi*'s scary enable-js <https://tobibeer.github.io/tw/enable-js/#script> script to allow plain Javascript <script> tags inline on tiddlers, and noted the warning there, so I don't want to do that, thanks all the same. I've also seen *@SimonBaird*'s ReminderMacros <http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com/>, which doesn't seem to do what I wanted, and is for TWC only, anyway. I would like to be able to add a countdown timer onto a tiddler, such as with the simple text example output below...
There are *144* days until Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) is release. I'd ultimately like to set this up as a MOTD style banner at the top of my wiki, as a stimulus. I haven't yet delved into learning TW5's macro language. Is there a repository I can go to, to grab and modify something to suit my needs? I can follow the logic of this tutorial <https://blog.grade.net/how-to-create-a-simple-javascript-countdown-timer/> for creating a countdown timer in Javascript. I don't want to be "that person" who always relies on the kindness of others to create code for me. I can do some of the work myself, as long as it's fairly straightforward. Despite my age, "script kiddie" is an appropriate description for me. ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
