RE: [Release] Countdown Live (Latest: 2.0.008)
Although it is correct, I don't know who wants to use only one of the normal (non-total) %d, %m, etc tags on their own, that makes no sense.
Isn't it 'smarter' that the script actually reconizes in an inteligent way what combination of tags are being used and thus how it needs to calculate the tags (like it is done in my countdown plugin/script)?
eg: If you only use months and days, it will display 1 month 19 days. But if you would use only the days tag it would display 49 days (or whatever the correct amount would be for that period).
A lot less confusing in that way, you keep the versatility of the script and people can still use whatever they want... And the calculation of the tags can be made a lot shorter and smarter, which equals a lot faster. And if you'd whish you could include a lot more time tags without any problems. Eg: the fact that you say in the next version you're going to include the possebility to use years and days together suggests that the calculation is quite complicated now and not versatile/robust or easly extendible. With the system I prupose you wouldn't even consider "adding more combinations" since every possible combination you can think of would already be possible just like that. It would even make it possible to treat months and years like scientific or fiscale months and years without problems. Didn't I send you the source of my Countdown plugin/script once?
