Smoke-Free QuitMeter ticker

Josh Houghtelin Software, Projects, PHP

Make your own Smoke-Free QuitMeter. The latest simple productive product from the Haqur Labs. ^_^

I’ve had a lot of requests for the Ticker Factory ripoff script I made as well as a few requests for new tickers so I made a Smoke-Free QuitMeter.

This ticker or QuitMeter or Banner, whatever you prefer calling it, will count down to your quit date and then start counting up. It’s very simple. It simply shows you how many cigarettes you have yet to smoke or have avoided and how much money you are losing or saving.





I owe a thanks to Garf for fixing up the CSS for me and to Erin Leadbetter for helping dig up some icons and making suggestions pertaining to how the quit smoking banner generator should work. If you would like to use the quit smoking (quitmeter) banner generator on your site just request it in a comment and I will email the current version source code to you otherwise everyone is free to generate and use as many banners as they like. If you have any suggestions, please leave them. It’s not for the lack of trying but I overlook a lot of simple things like the fact that my original ticker script counts negative numbers after the count down date has arrived. I’ll be fixing that today.

I would love the source code for the smoking ticker! I will probably tweak it a bit if that is OK? Perhaps change the pic.

Could you forward the source code to me please? I don’t want to quit smoking…I just want to keep track how long I’ve been shackled with dental braces starting Thurs. (oh the joy)

I have been playing around with your previous script, and I have something close to what I want, but I got a little stuck. (I never touched PHP until now…it’s been fun, I suppose.)

I can’t get this to post on myspace. Any advice??

Copy & Paste the HTML code into your myspace profile or as a comment to someones myspace profile and it will work.

I would like to be able to post the banner in my signature with real count down, money saved and cigarettes not smoked.

Thanks

Hello there,

IS it possible to get the source code mailed to me? I would use it in my dutch quit smoking site… Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This is my request for the script. Please mail it to me? THanks!

By the way, is there a min. version of php or mysql required? I am strugling with the tickerfactory rip off. It works great on Xampp, localhost. But after uploading to my server, i get Internal Error. DB fields are configured ok, else i would get “not able too connect”.

Suggestions?

Thanks and merry christmas!!

There are a few bugs in the script. I will recode it the first oportunity I get and email the update to everyone who has had problems with the current version.

I want a ticker just to see the number of cigarettes I have not smoked since I quit. On Fridays @ SmokeAwaySupport.com we have a bon fire and throw all unsmoked cigarettes in the fire.

Problem: - I stopped smoking 04/04/04 and your script will not give me an accurate account because it will not go back to my quit date.

Is there anything you can do to help?

Hey Josh–

Thanks, in advance for sending the code. I’ve looked all over and cant find anything simple but effective. Yours looks perfect.

Can I get this to use in email? Thanks

Hi - I stopped smoking 11/20/06 and your script will not give me an accurate account because it will not go back that far.

thanks for creating this! It was exactly what I was searching for! I love it… thanks again :)

The code really doesn’t work in myspace profiles. I know a little about html and I definitely know how to post codes, this one does NOT work.

Can you please forward me the source code for the quit smoking banner. I have been smoke free for over 4 months and would like to allow others to track my progress on my myspace page.

Thanks,

Ashley

I would like to have the quit meter to put on my cafemom and myspace pages. I quit in 2005 tho and the one on your page only goes back to 2007. Can I get it to go back to when I quit?

Posted by Shelley, on March 13th, 2008, às 2:16 am. #.

Thanks so much for changing it to go back a few more yrs =)

Posted by Janette, on April 1st, 2008, às 5:51 pm. #.

I would love to have the source code please. I want to use it on myspace and my cafemoms. Thanks.

Is there a way to get an edited version of the quit smoking ticker that doesn’t say “I” quit smoking….
I’d like it so say “If you quit smoking on Keaton’s birthday, you’d be smoke free for XXX and have saved this much $$” I want to put it on my site for my son to help my father in law and brothers stop smoking because they need to be in my son’s life for a long time.

Posted by Julie, on June 22nd, 2008, às 2:30 am. #.

Is there anything similar for quitting drinking?

Posted by Jamie, on August 9th, 2008, às 12:31 pm. #.

I would love to post this on my blog. Is the HTML included or do you need to send it to me?
