Discount Deadline Countdown Timer

---

Add these two hidden fields to your initial info request form, the page they request info on-not on your e-promo-kit. (you may already have the first one):

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
<input id="ndate" name="ndate" type="hidden" value="" />
<input id="ndate1" name="ndate1" type="hidden" value="" />
[/sourcecode]

Next, add these two lines of code into the “Add extra Javascript” (you may already have the first one)

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
jQuery(document).ready( asNdate() );
jQuery(document).ready( asNdate1() );
[/sourcecode]

See screenshot:

Next, create a new block in CJT and name it something like “Ndate +1” and paste this code in the block:

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
<script type="text/javascript">

function asNdate1() {
var ndate= new Date();
ndate.setDate(ndate.getDate()+2);
var nd1= ndate.getMonth()+ 1;
var nd2= ndate.getDate();
var nd3= ndate.getFullYear();
document.getElementById(‘ndate1’).value= nd1 + ‘/’ + nd2 + ‘/’ + nd3;
}
</script>
[/sourcecode]

Apply it to the page containing the initial form.  See screenshot:

You should already have the normal discount deadline script setup but if you don’t, here it is:

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
<script type="text/javascript">

function asNdate() {
var ndate= new Date();
ndate.setDate(ndate.getDate()+1);
var nd1= ndate.getMonth()+ 1;
var nd2= ndate.getDate();
var nd3= ndate.getFullYear();
document.getElementById(‘ndate’).value= nd1 + ‘/’ + nd2 + ‘/’ + nd3;
}
</script>
[/sourcecode]

Here is the shortcode to insert on your e-promo-kit to make the count down work:

 [as_countdown field=”ndate1″ timezone=”-6″ style=”dark”]

---

Next, make sure you have the two fields created in 1shop as custom fields. Make sure the short names are listed as:

ndate (you may already have this)

---

In the autoresponder hyperlink that you send the subscriber, you’ll need both variables merged in by 1shop and set. So in addition to your normal link, you’ll need to add:

&ndate1=%$custom:ndate1$%

So my link is: http://magickidsparty.com/e-promo-kit/?Name=%$name$%&field9=%$custom:field9$%&Email1=%$email$%&ndate=%$custom:ndate$%&field11=%$custom:field11$%&ndate1=%$custom:ndate1$%

Notice how I have both ndate and ndate1. This is because on the e-promo-kit page, we want to say that the deal ends on January 1st. But we want the countdown timer to countdown until January 2nd (when the deal ends). So the date is displayed with “ndate” but for the countdown timer to end at the end of the “ndate” we need to add 1 as it counts down until the date. So we have it countdown to January 2nd. Make sense?
