Anyone know of a module that can do this?

What I am after is a module like the countdown module used on this site: http://www.ask-karate.org/

I can probably get the Calendar module to do it with some work, however I'd rather not if they're is something available that can do it.

Nope, AFAIK, you'll have to tweak the upcoming list template of the Calendar module.

I've modified the calendar to show a countdown and it works pretty well.  see: http://eskajrh.demonweb.co.uk

I have a question:

How do I create a smarty tag on a page that all detailed events go to?  I read in the help that you can direct the events when clicked on to a detail page, but I'm not sure of the syntax of this tag, I've tried a few things and it doesn't work.

If I click on an event from the count down it opens the detail on the left, not sure why but it does and thats what I want it to do when I click on the events in the small calendar view, but they replace the calendar which is not what I want.

Thank you.

BTW.  If anyone would like to add a countdown facility to the calendar, its a one like mod, open the file function.displayupcominglist.php and
insert:
 
$row['countdown'] = ceil(abs(time() - mktime(0,0,0,$post_month,$post_day,$post_year)) / 86400);

At line 143.

Then in your template you can reference the countdown with {$event.countdown}

anyone?

Why not check out the 'detailpage' and/or the 'inline' parameter of the calendar module.

Ty, setting the inline to 0 did the trick!
