Currently, I have this in my HTML code and am not 100% sure on how to redirect to another page I have after the countdown finishes. I am not too familiar with javascript at the moment either, any help is appreciated. I know that when the page loads it takes the current time ( at the .now snippet) and just adds 10 seconds to it rather than a set time the script should end at then display the difference between present and that set time. The issue with this is that when anyone loads this page it would always show a countdown for 10 seconds to it rather than a universal countdown. For example, the time currently is 3:53 and should end at 4:00. Once the time hits 4 push the redirect.
<!--Countdown Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#countdown17').ClassyCountdown({
theme: "flat-colors-very-wide",
end: $.now() + 10
});
});
</script>
You want to get the time from a fixed one. So, utilize Date built-in API instead of jQuery's $.now(), because
This API has been deprecated in jQuery 3.3; please use the native Date.now() method instead.
What time do you want? Determine it beforehand (GMT):
const date1 = new Date('September 13, 2021 04:00:00');
Then, when subtracting the dates you'll get the time remaining.
<!--Countdown Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#countdown17').ClassyCountdown({
theme: "flat-colors-very-wide",
end: date1 - new Date() // gets the difference between determined date and current date
onEndCallback: () => {
window.location.href = "http://www.example.com";
}
});
});
</script>
Remember to handle the case when the time of access was after the pre-defined time.
I'm assuming this is the ClassyCountdown() jQuery plugin you are using: https://github.com/arsensokolov/jquery.classycountdown
If that's the case, it has an onEndCallback which is called once the countdown reaches 0.
So your code would become something like this:
<!--Countdown Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#countdown17').ClassyCountdown({
theme: "flat-colors-very-wide",
end: $.now() + 10,
onEndCallback: function () {
document.location.href = 'https://www.google.com' // <- The url to redirect to
}
});
});
</script>
Updated answer to redirect at an absolute time:
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function() {
// This is when you want the redirect to happen
// This is the absolute time, as reported by the users browser
let hour = 21;
let minute = 18;
let second = 20;
let date = new Date();
if (date.getHours() == hour && date.getMinutes() == minute && date.getSeconds() >= second) {
document.location.href = 'https://www.whatever.com';
}
}, 1000);
});
add a callback parameter (function) to your countdown
<!--Countdown Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#countdown17').ClassyCountdown({
theme: "flat-colors-very-wide",
end: $.now() + 10,
onEndCallback: function () {
window.location.href = "http://www.newlink.com";
}
});
</script>
