countdown does not start automatically in the new event

[Giovanni]

(sorry, but the old topic has been closed)
Sorry for my English, but is the result of google translator:-)
Both me and the customer really appreciate this feature, but if it does not start automatically at the end of the previous event, is useless.
E’ unthinkable having to manually edit and however we can not give the customer access to administrator level to change the vidget.
To be precise the list of events in vidget updates at end of the day, but if you do not go to click save button, the contadown not start.
If I solve this problem I will be happy to post the link a The Events Calendar.
I am waiting for an answer and ‘possibly’ in a solution. Thank You

Hi Giovanni,

I’m not too sure I understand.

Do you mean that there is a functional bug or problem with the widget? Or do you mean that you would prefer if as soon as the chosen event starts and the countdown is finished it automatically begins counting down to some other event?

OK, well we could certainly consider that as a further enhancement – if you want to go ahead and post a feature request that will also allow others to comment on and show their support for the idea 🙂

Thanks!

Hey there Giovanni,

It would be appreciated if you could avoid using private replies unless you are sharing something that really needs to be kept confidential, such as a client URL you prefer not to expose. Otherwise this topic – which could potentially be helpful for others in the future – will make very little sense to fellow community members 🙂

In any case, I appreciate you need a solution but, unless I’m misunderstanding you, the countdown widget is behaving exactly as it is intended to operate: it simply isn’t designed to automatically move on to the next event and begin counting down afresh — and neither would all users find that desirable.

With that in mind, all I can really recommend if you need to get this working in the meantime is that you implement this as a customization.

Also, if you do post a feature request please feel free to share the URL back here – that might help others who are also interested in your idea to show their support by up-voting the request over on UserVoice 🙂

Thanks again!

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks
