Timer plugin for Confluence - not a countdown, but a "count out"

Bill Rudy

Looking for a plugin (preferably free but would consider pay) that you'd set and it would count out and display how much time has elapsed from the date you apply...kind of like the old "50 days since our last accident" signs that workplaces used to have, and it would automatically increment.  Like a stopwatch, basically, though I'd prefer being able to adjust the increment (for example, just days vs hours and seconds) - anyone know of any?

@Bill Rudy is the HTML macro with an iframe an option?

If so, you could Google for an online countdown timer to include (e.g. this one, which N.B. I haven't tried). On our Confluence we use as an Intranet and use a few online tools to iframe the solution.

Or, you know, cause an issue every day so it can always be a fixed image of a zero? :D

 

Edit: this is the count up version: https://countingdownto.com/create-count-up

Thanks Thomas!  That might be a sufficient workaround....I'm researching the net now, will post back with what I think are best.

Hi @Bill Rudy 

Yes, I realised after I answered that I gave you the wrong timer. I did find what you need and edited it in the post.

Thanks again!  Not sure if I can embed (via HTML) for security reasons (we're on a private network), still checking...iFrame doesn't work, at least not for that or anything I've found to date.  

Haven't given up though!

Hi Bill, my Countdown Timer+ app can do that. Currently only on cloud but I'll build a server version if there's demand.

Thanks Nathan, will keep in mind, appreciate that info...yes we would need a Server version.  Still investigating options!
