hey Pmario, Sorry abt the lack of clarity, I shall explain.
Use Case: some sort of quizzing platform where a countdown is initiated once the quiz starts and once the time is up navigate to a tiddler where responses can be submitted I tried doing something in the last few hours (I have no idea abt javascript but somehow managed by looking at other examples, most notably http://tiddlytime.tiddlyspot.com/) /*\ title: $:/plugins/timer.js type: application/javascript module-type: macro \*/ (function () { /*jslint node: true, browser: true */ /*global $tw: false */ "use strict"; // Export name and synchronous status exports.name = "timer"; exports.params = []; exports.run = function() { // Set the date we're counting down to var countDownDate = new Date().getTime(); // Update the count down every 1 second var x = setInterval(function() { // Get todays date and time var now = new Date().getTime(); // Find the distance between now an the count down date var distance = now - countDownDate; // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60)); var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60)); var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000); return new $tw.Tiddler($:/temp/time,{"text": days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s "}); // If the count down is over, write some text if (distance > 60000) { clearInterval(x); return new $tw.Tiddler($:/temp/timeup,{"text": Time Up}); } }, 1000); }; })(); cheers On Sunday, December 10, 2017 at 4:27:43 PM UTC+5:30, PMario wrote: > > On Sunday, December 10, 2017 at 8:00:05 AM UTC+1, [email protected] > wrote: >> >> it would be also good to get the minutes and seconds in seperate temp >> tiddlers as the timer progresses so that after a particular time has passed >> some action can be made to happen .. >> > > IMO you need to be a bit more specific, about what you want. > > Do you want 1 timer or several active at the same time? > Should they be pausable / deletable while active? > What "action" do you want, after the timer has stopped? > What should happen, if the tab, that contains the timer is not visible? > > ToDoNow plugin contains something that's called a "deadline" > https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html > Do you want something like this? > > -m > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
