Shortcode to replace counter with text at zero count

    I am trying to figure out how to code my shortcode for my Homepage so that the counter is replaced with text when it hits zero.

    I have read the documentation that states this. [tminus t= “DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS”]HTML to be displayed when the countdown reaches zero.[/tminus]

    but I just can’t seem to figure it out. My code for the counter is this.
    <p style=”text-align: center;”>[tminus t=”10/11/2014 10:00:00″ style=”carbonlite”/]</p>

    Can you assist me?

    Thanks so much!

    Best – Kim

    First, please keep the following in mind:
    10/11/2014 is October 11th
    10-11-2014 is November 10th

    So, for November 10th at 10:00 you would use:

    [tminus t= "10-11-2014 10:00:00"]One more day until 11-11 when the madness starts in Köln![/tminus]

    Beyond that, you will need to share a link so we can see if there are any errors on your page.

    The event is actually on October 11th. You have good documentation on that so I figured that out but thanks for the heads-up!

    My website is twmrc.org. My counter looks very good, but I want to put text in place of the counter when it zeros out. I am uncertain how to do that. This was addressed also in the documentation but I was unable to figure it out.

    Thanks so much!

    have you done a test to see what happens when the counter does *zero out* or as the sapcemen say ‘launch’?

    Oh, they call it “Launch”. Thanks for that. BTW, everytime I added the extra code, it broke the counter.

    But no, I have not done that. I will go try that right now and let you know what I discover.

    It simply stops at zero.

    Is there a way to have the counter removed when it Launches and replace it with text? I was sure I saw that capability in the documentation but didn’t understand the documentation regarding it.

    If not, I will just watch it and do it manually.

    Thanks so much!

    To replace the countdown’s 00:00:00 at launch you simply use the shortcode as follows:
    [tminus t="the_target_time"]Launch Text[/tminus]
