Live countdown timer

Hello @pexel

Yes, you can use the DATEDIFF and NOW operations. Assuming the date/time field in the form is the fieldname1 field, you can insert a calculated field ( I’ll call it fieldname2 ) and enter an equation similar to:

(function(){
if ( typeof my_timout_identifier != 'undefined' ) clearTimeout( my_timout_identifier );

my_timout_identifier = setTimeout( function(){ EVALEQUATION(fieldname2|n); }, 1000 );

let o = DATEDIFF(NOW(), fieldname1, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:ii', 'd');

return CONCATENTATE(o['days'], ' days ', o['hours'], ' hours and ', o['minutes'], ' minutes');
})()

Best regards.

fieldname5: Today’s date (day/hour/minute/second)
fieldname6: Target date (day/hour/minute/second)

However, it calculates the duration but does not count down. Could there be a mistake somewhere?
Additionally, if the user selects a past date, is it possible to give a warning message for the countdown?
Thank you!

(function() {
  
    if (typeof my_timeout_identifier !== 'undefined') {
        clearTimeout(my_timeout_identifier);
    }

    my_timeout_identifier = setTimeout(function() {
        EVALEQUATION(fieldname5 | n);
    }, 1000);

   
    let o = DATEDIFF(fieldname5, fieldname6, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:ii:ss', 'd');

   
    let kriter5 = CONCATENATE(o['days'], ' gün ', o['hours'], ' saat ', o['minutes'], ' dakika ', o['seconds'], ' saniye');

    jQuery('#calculation-kriter5').html(kriter5);
    jQuery('.kriter5-aciklama').html('Saya? :');
    jQuery('.kriter5-sonuc').html(kriter5);

    return kriter5;
})();

Hello @pexel

First, you cannot include extra space characters.

The correct is fieldname5|n but you entered fieldname5 | n

Second, you must evaluate the current equation, not the equation in the fieldname5 fields. Also, you don’t need a field extra to get the current date/time, only use the NOW operation.

Best regards.

I fixed the code, and it prints the result. Every time we click ‘calculate,’ it prints the updated result. I wanted it to count down live after clicking ‘calculate’ just once.

Here’s the form link.

(function() {
  
    if (typeof my_timeout_identifier != 'undefined') {
        clearTimeout(my_timeout_identifier);
    }

    my_timeout_identifier = setTimeout(function() {
        EVALEQUATION(fieldname5|n);
    }, 1000);

   
    let o = DATEDIFF(NOW(), fieldname6, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:ii:ss', 'd');

   
    let kriter5 = CONCATENATE(o['days'], ' gün ', o['hours'], ' saat ', o['minutes'], ' dakika ', o['seconds'], ' saniye');

    jQuery('#calculation-kriter5').html(kriter5);
    jQuery('.kriter5-aciklama').html('Saya? :');
    jQuery('.kriter5-sonuc').html(kriter5);

    return kriter5;
})();

I got it done, thanks

Hello @pexel

The calculated field in your form is not the fieldname5. So the code EVALEQUATION(fieldname5|n); makes no sense. You must enter the name of the calculated field where you entered the equation. Please reread my previous entries.
