I just upgraded to WP 2.7 and the menu system has changed so that there is no Manage top level menu, so the Date Countdown sub-menu has no place to be displayed.

I don't mind manually editing the datecountdowndates.php file, but I need to know what all the parameters are. I can figure out what most of them mean, but I'm puzzled by the last three (bold items).
$importantdate[0]=array("2010 Olympics in Vancouver!", 2, 12, 2010, "The Olympics are here!", 0, 0, "");

Never mind, figured it out from poking around in the datecountdown.php file. The last three are hour of event, minute of event and link URL.

Now if I can figure out how to have it display as just: $itemname in $itemday it'll be perfect.

Hi Brian,

Under WordPress 2.7, the date countdown management menu should be under "Tools".

As for editing the output, that is built in the function "countdown_execute" on line 392 of datecountdown.php. The code is in need of a cleanup to make it more readable, but it's all there.

Didn't see it at first, but found it the next time I opened the admin page (unfamiliarity with the 2.7 interface.)

I'm not a coder, but I can usually figure out what is going on and manipulate a bit, and sometimes I'm even successful.
