FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Link Robins Countdown Widget
A configurable countdown widget for Flarum 2.0, built as a widget for fof/forum-widgets-core. Same skeleton as linkrobins/html-widget and linkrobins/markdown-widget.
What it does
Renders a four-box countdown — days, hours, minutes, seconds — ticking down to an admin-configured moment. When it hits zero, shows a configurable "done" message. Optionally wraps the whole thing in a link.
Features
- Configurable target via the browser's native date+time picker (year, month, day, hour, minute)
- Timezone-aware — admin picks the IANA timezone for the target, and every visitor counts down to the same actual instant regardless of where they are
- One tick per second with smooth Mithril redraws
- Optional title + FontAwesome icon above the countdown
- Done state with a configurable message (defaults to 🎉) when the countdown reaches zero
- Optional link wrapping the whole widget — useful for "launching in… [click for details]"
- Theme-friendly — uses Flarum 2's CSS custom properties so colors pick up your theme automatically
- Tabular-numerics font feature so digits don't jitter as they tick
Requirements
- Flarum 2.0 or later
- PHP 8.2 or later
fof/forum-widgets-coreinstalled and enabled
Installation
In Flarum admin → Extensions, find Link Robins Countdown under the Forum Widgets category and enable it. Configure the target on its settings page, then go to FoF Forum Widgets settings and place the widget where you want it.
Settings
- Title (optional) — shown above the countdown
- Icon (optional) — FontAwesome class shown next to the title (e.g.
fas fa-rocket) - Target date and time — uses the browser's date picker; covers year, month, day, hour, and minute
- Timezone — IANA name like
UTC,America/New_York,Europe/London,Asia/Tokyo. There's a "Use my timezone" button that fills this with whatever your browser thinks the local zone is - Done message — shown when the countdown hits zero (defaults to 🎉)
- Link URL (optional) — if set, the countdown becomes a clickable link
How the timezone math works
The target time is stored as a "naive" wall-clock datetime (e.g. 2026-12-31T23:59) paired with a timezone (e.g. America/New_York). At render time, the widget converts that pair into an absolute UTC instant using the browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat API, which correctly handles daylight-saving transitions for the target date. Every visitor's browser then counts down to that single instant, so the displayed remaining-time stays consistent across the audience regardless of where each viewer is.
This avoids the most common countdown widget bug: "the admin set it for 11pm but my visitors in Tokyo see a different time."
