ChangeLog
2.0
- This was a major coding update so therefore I moved it up to a new version. *
- This version you can now use the clock more than once on a page or post. *
- I moved the javascript code to an external file and called it using enqueue. I instantiated the class within the plugin shortcode loop.*
- I removed the end notice and the hiding of the clock once the countdown has completed and instead set the clock to display 0 on all it’s values.*
- I removed the php function in the shortcode as it was causing errors and added ob_start so that the clock code will be buffered and appear in the correct place in the content, not just output at the top.*
- Added language support for the following languages: Afrikaans, Dutch, Spanish, French, German or Portuguese support.
1.0
- This is the first release of this plugin. *
