Countdown script in header duplicating avatar dropdown?

[ncaming215 (nate c.)]

I have the following script running in my header, and it’s rendering just fine.

But when I navigate to a topic, the avatar dropdown replicates like this:

Hoping it’s a simple fix, but maybe I’m trying to make Discourse do too much w/ a component.

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    // Create Countdown HTML with Styling
    var countdownHtml = `
        <div id="countdown-banner" style="position: relative; display: inline-block; margin-left: 20px; vertical-align: middle;">
            <span id="background-text" style="opacity: 0.2; color: gray; font-size: 4.5em; position: absolute; left: 0; top: -31px; z-index: 1;">
                DET vs. DAL <i class="fas fa-football-ball"></i>
            </span>
            <div id="foreground-text" style="color: white; position: relative; z-index: 2; display: flex; align-items: center;">
                <span id="countdown-container" style="background-color: #0076B6; padding: 5px 10px; border-radius: 5px; margin-right: 10px;">
                    Lions at Cowboys: <span id="countdown" style="font-family: 'LCD', 'Courier New', monospace;"></span>
                </span>
                <a href="https://thedenforum.com/t/official-lions-vs-cowboys-game-day-thread-2023/30290" style="background-color: #0076B6; color: white; padding: 5px 10px; border-radius: 5px; text-decoration: none;">
                    Game Thread
                </a>
            </div>
        </div>`;

    // Insert the Countdown Banner next to the logo
    var headerLogo = document.querySelector('.d-header .title');
    if (headerLogo) {
        headerLogo.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', countdownHtml);
    } else {
        console.error("Header logo not found");
    }

    // Countdown Functionality
    const eventTime = new Date('December 30, 2023 20:00:00 GMT-0400').getTime();
    const countdownElement = document.getElementById('countdown');

    if (!countdownElement) {
        console.error("Countdown element not found");
        return;
    }

    function updateCountdown() {
        const now = new Date().getTime();
        const distance = eventTime - now;

        if (distance < 0) {
            countdownElement.innerHTML = "The Game Has started!";
            clearInterval(interval);
            return;
        }

        const days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
        const hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
        const minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
        const seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);

        countdownElement.innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
    }

    var interval = setInterval(updateCountdown, 1000);
});
</script>

Solved! I fixed it using api.onPageChange(() => { if anyone else tries getting too fancy for their own good and encounters the same.

That looks pretty cool.

So this banner does a countdown in this case til the game starts?(sports)

This could be tt start of a pretty cool Customization > Theme component a commerce type site or what not could use it as a countdown for launch or upcoming sale.

Can you post your code with the fix implemented plz

[ncaming215 (nate c.)]

I gave up on it because it renders the avatar menu unclickable. I tried everything to fix with no luck, so gave up, otherwise I’d submit it!

[Firepup650 (Firepup Sixfifty)]

Perhaps you could release it as is, with a disclaimer on it about the bugs it causes to others could potentially try to fix it?

[Heliosurge (Dan DeMontmorency)]

Might be an idea to try maybe in header?

[ncaming215 (nate c.)]

Here’s the code for all who have asked.

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
    api.onPageChange(() => {
        // Ensure the banner is only added once
        if (document.getElementById('countdown-banner')) return;

        // Create the countdown banner
        const countdownBanner = document.createElement('div');
        countdownBanner.id = 'countdown-banner';
        countdownBanner.style.cssText = 'position: relative; display: inline-block; margin-left: 20px; vertical-align: middle;';
        countdownBanner.innerHTML = `
            <span id="background-text" style="opacity: 0.2; color: gray; font-size: 4.5em; position: absolute; left: 0; top: -31px; z-index: 1;">
                DET vs. DAL <i class="fas fa-football-ball"></i>
            </span>
            <div id="foreground-text" style="color: white; position: relative; z-index: 2; display: flex; align-items: center;">
                <span id="countdown-container" style="background-color: #0076B6; padding: 5px 10px; border-radius: 5px; margin-right: 10px;">
                    Lions at Cowboys: <span id="countdown" style="font-family: 'LCD', 'Courier New', monospace;"></span>

                </a>
            </div>
        `;

        // Find the header logo and insert the countdown banner
        const headerLogo = document.querySelector('.d-header .title');
        if (headerLogo) {
            headerLogo.insertAdjacentElement('afterend', countdownBanner);
        }

        // Initialize the countdown
        const eventTime = new Date('December 30, 2024 20:00:00 GMT-0400').getTime();
        const countdownElement = document.getElementById('countdown');
        setInterval(() => {
            const now = new Date().getTime();
            const distance = eventTime - now;

            if (!countdownElement) return;

            if (distance < 0) {
                countdownElement.innerHTML = "The Game Has started!";
                return;
            }

            const days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            const hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
            const minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
            const seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);

            countdownElement.innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
        }, 1000);
    });
</script>

Please note I never did get the avatar menu to become clickable. … if you can correct and share, that’d be amazing!
