The Down Counter Plugin is an extension for Grav CMS. It creates a nice circular down counter on any Page by using a Shortcode.

Installing the Down Counter plugin can be done in one of three ways: The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method lets you quickly install the plugin with a simple terminal command, the manual method lets you do so via a zip file, and the admin method lets you do so via the Admin Plugin.
To install the plugin via the GPM, through your system's terminal (also called the command line), navigate to the root of your Grav-installation, and enter:
bin/gpm install downcounter
This will install the Down Counter plugin into your /user/plugins-directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/downcounter.
To install the plugin manually, download the zip-version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to downcounter. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/downcounter
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which may require other plugins to operate, please see its blueprints.yaml-file on GitHub.
If you use the Admin Plugin, you can install the plugin directly by browsing the Plugins-menu and clicking on the Add button (currently NOT available, see GPM Installation above).
Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/downcounter/downcounter.yaml to user/config/plugins/downcounter.yaml and only edit that copy.
Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:
enabled: trueNote that if you use the Admin Plugin, a file with your configuration named downcounter.yaml will be saved in the user/config/plugins/-folder once the configuration is saved in the Admin.
You can add a nice Down Counter to any Page in your Grav Site by just adding a shortcode somewhere in your Page's .md File,
e.g. [downcounter due_date="2023-08-30 12:00:00"][/downcounter] where the due_date is the date/time until the Countdown proceeds (when due_date is reached, the Counter stops).
It will look like this: 
Note that ATM, the Format of the due_date Parameter must be 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss' - maybe there will be other formatting Options (depending on Language Setting) in the future.
This Plugin uses TimeCircles for Display/Animation of the Counter.
