So I don't know how many of you have been in razor, but the Op timer that they have is pretty much what I want.

But the one that FAIL has for POS timers is pretty good as well, as long as I can integrate it into a box that I can put in SMF.

If you would be willing to make the mods, I think most people would be grateful.


Basic's:

Basically the one that razor has is you enter a thread under operations with Start system, date, time, Fc and description.

Once posted you can read the thread and it appears at the top of the forum when you log in, with a count down timer days, hours, min's until the op.

When the op is in progress it says op in progress until it is cancelled then it disappears from the top of the forum.

I have no Idea how to start on this one but its a mod that a lot of people would like.

If I had to guess, It's probably two separate SMF mods.

I'm not entirely sure if it's a built in SMF function (I've never been able to find it) or if it's a mod, but for announcements something like this would work for you: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1617 - When the op is canceled/over you could simply move the announcement thread or delete it out of view.

And the second being a countdown bbcode mod, most likely this: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1952

It wouldn't be hard to use a custom form to post an announcement op with all the information you want to show neatly posted in the same format op after op.

Feel free to mail me in-game if you'd like help with putting this all together.

You'll probably find that the bar at the top is part of something like Simple Portal using a custom php code block.

That would do it on the portal page at least, I believe the Block you would use for that is called 'Recent Posts/Topics' with SimplePortal. Saves you having to code something that's already there I guess :D

Started making my own, used the base files of my shopcart for SMF so its not very tidy at the moment.

What I have at the moment:

Posts op to SMF when a operation is created.
Uses SMF for authentication
For structure shoots and roams/fleets.

I still need to do more work on it but it is functional at the moment and does the basic's of what i want it to do.

I just need advice of how to edit smf to get it in the header above the forum boards but not using Simple portal as I would like php, heml etc to be used but in SP you can only use one type at a time..

Take a look maybe you can do somethign with it... let me know how you do please so we can keep it updated and keep it available for teh community..
