Countdown Timer persistence

Get Help

Hello,

I added a countdown timer to a list, linked it to a number input in my collection where I put 86400 (for 24 hours). When I refresh the preview page, the countdown reset to 24h and start again. Is it because it’s a preview and it’ll be persistent after publishing, or did I make something bad ?

If you want the countdown to keep going even if you refresh, you have to set it in relation to a certain date.

If you want the countdown to start 24 hours after your user does something, you need to:

  1. add to that collection a date+time property called something like “24h wait period”.
  2. Whenever the user does the action that should start that 24h countdown, you need to update that property to “Curtent Time + 1” (1 meaning 1 day)
  3. set the countdown timer from ([24h wait period - Current Time] x 24 x 60 x 60), so that it calculates the amount of seconds that is.

Hope it helps
