As the Calendar widget in Ticker mode display only events from Calendar, this one allow you to choose the date and message you want to display, without any Calendar.

The Widget type is DIY, so it returns HTML.

Copy the timeleft_widget folder on your own server ( it requires PHP to work ).
Paste the url in the DIY configuration, like : http://yourdomain.com/path/to/timeleft_widget/

Currently, the keyboard in Status Board is set in "URL mode". So you can't type any space in the url. If you need to, type %20 for each space.

• date : A date in english ( ie, 2013-06-02 or 2013-06-02%2018:30 )
• message : Text to display just after the time left
• lang : The lang to display time left. Default is en.
  • Currently available : en | fr | de
• autorefresh : the widget refresh itself each 59 seconds. You can pass an other value to this parameter, or false if you want to disable autorefresh.

[ bold parameter means it is mandatory ]
