EventOn Countdown Add-on

Event calendars often keep showing events that have already started or ended, and visitors have little sense of how much time is left to register or buy tickets. This add-on places a live countdown on your EventON events, so people can see the time remaining at a glance. You can turn the countdown on for individual events from the EventON event editor.

You choose when the timer expires: at the event start, at the event end, or at a custom offset time. After that, the add-on can hide the event, make it unclickable, black it out, or mark it as sold out when used with the Tickets Add-on. It also works with the Slider and Filters Plus add-ons, so it fits fundraisers, shows, sports sessions and conferences.

Features

• Real-time countdown timers: Each event you choose displays a ticking countdown, giving visitors a clear view of how much time remains before the event begins or closes.
• Flexible expiration timing: Set a timer to expire when the event starts, when it ends, or at a custom offset time, matching the timing to how you promote the event.
• Hide expired events: Remove events from the calendar once the countdown finishes, so visitors see only listings that are still current and relevant.
• Disable clicks after expiry: Make an expired event unclickable, so it stays visible in the calendar but visitors can no longer open it.
• Black out expired listings: Mark finished events with a blacked-out look, which shows the event has passed without removing it from the schedule.
• Sold out with Tickets Add-on: When used together with the Tickets Add-on, an expired countdown can mark the event as sold out, linking the timer to ticket availability.
• Per-event toggle: Turn the countdown on or off for individual events from the EventON event editor, with the settings placed in a lightbox.
• Works with other add-ons: The countdown is compatible with the Tickets, Slider and Filters Plus add-ons, so it can sit alongside the rest of your EventON setup.
