I am trying to create a table row specific counter using a data/time field and a formula field that is set to NOW(). The Custom field would be subtracted from NOW() and that would return the countdown timer.
I am a javascript noob, so any help is greatly appreciated. I am referencing this counter from W3 schools.
Here is my snippet that currently doesn’t. I need help identifying the row field value for a custom date/time field, “MarketingStatusSLAStop__c”. I then need to assign that to either a template field or custom field render, but can’t seem to figure that out.
**Again any help is apprecaited. **
var params = arguments[0], $ = skuid.$; var model = skuid.model.getModel('Main\_Contact'); var row = model.getFirstRow(); var dateVar = row.MarketingStatusSLAStop\_\_c; // Get todays date and time //var now = Date.now(); var now = row.Now; //convert from Salesforce date to Javascript date var jsdateVar = skuid.time.parseSFDateTime(dateVar); var jsNow = skuid.time.parseSFDateTime(now); // Set the date we're counting down to var countDownDate = jsdateVar; //var jscountDownDate = skuid.time.parseSFDateTime(countDownDate); //alert(countDownDate); // Update the count down every 1 second var x = setInterval(function() { // Find the distance between now an the count down date var distance = countDownDate - jsNow; //alert(distance); // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 \* 60 \* 60 \* 24)); var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 \* 60 \* 60 \* 24)) / (1000 \* 60 \* 60)); var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 \* 60 \* 60)) / (1000 \* 60)); var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 \* 60)) / 1000); // Output the result in an element with id="demo" document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s "; // If the count down is over, write some text if (distance \< 0) { clearInterval(x); document.getElementById("Now2").innerHTML = "EXPIRED"; } }, 1000); //convert from Javascript date back to Salesforce date //var hourAdded = skuid.time.getSFDateTime(jsDate); //model.updateRow(row,{Your\_Date\_Field\_\_c : hourAdded});
