Simple Countdown Timer allows you to create multiple countdown on your blog with a widget, or using a shortcode into your post and pages.
== Description ==
Simple Countdown Timer (SCT) is, as you might expect, really simple to use. It gives you tools to create a Countdown as a widget or into your posts with a shortcode ([sct date="..."]).
SCT supports 2 or 3 digits for days, so you can really create a long long countdown if you want. Simple Countdown Timer has also a quicktag, so you can really add a new countdown into your post in one click!
To have the translated texts "days, hours, minutes and seconds" on your blog. Feel free to edit the first lines of the `simple-countdown-timer.php` and replace the text by yours. For French text for example, it will be :
`$sct_text_date = array(
'days' => 'jours',
'hours' => 'heures',
'minutes' => 'min',
'seconds' => 'sec'
);`
= Key features =
* Simple to use.
* No flash, only javascript!
* A quicktag to quickly add a new countdown into your posts.
* A shortcode [sct date="" align="" size=""]
