Description

Creates a timer which counts down to the round start/end time and refreshes the page when it ends. If the round is an archive or the start_time and duration are missing the macro doesn't show anything

Testing Done

trunk/www/macros/macro_roundtimer.php (Diff revision 1)

Add a parameter to limit the maximum number of units to display (for example only print "3 days" instead of "3 days, 7 hours, 3 minutes, 5 seconds).

What if we have more than one timer on a page?

You should specify a format that javascript will surely understand. Something like YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (look in php manual for actual format).

Change Summary:

Now you can add multiple timers, as long as they are for different rounds (hope this is ok). You can specify two more arguments, 'units' and 'show_message'. The first one is the maximum number of time units (days, hours, minutes, seconds) to display. The second one is whether or not you want to display a message after the timer to specify if it counts down to the start or end of the round.
