Forum:So how do you make a counter that goes up daily?

How can I make something +1 to the number every day? If you don't understand, then please reply &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang S a m ] [/wiki/User_talk:Sam_Wang W a n g ] 03:09, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

 * For example, make today display 1, tomorrow display 2, the day after tomorrow display 3... &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang S a m ] [/wiki/User_talk:Sam_Wang W a n g ] 03:29, March 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know. But it might help if you clarify.  Do you have a counter that you want to increment each day?  -- CocoaZen 03:30, March 4, 2012 (UTC)  (Ok, your clarification was posted at the same time.  Got it - CZ)

I don't have any king of counters like what you say unfortunately &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang S a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/User_talk:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 03:33, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

 * I think you can do that with JS... I'll have a look for you if you want wikimarkup only though... 10:43, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * There's actually a #time function, that should fit the bill perfectly --  Random Time  10:47, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Which time function should I use? I'm not sure about them &mdash; [/wiki/User:Sam_Wang <font color=#bdbdbd>S <font color=#bfbfbf>a <font color=#bibibi>m ] [/wiki/User_talk:Sam_Wang <font color=#bkbkbk>W <font color=#bmbmbm>a <font color=#bobobo>n <font color=#bqbqbq>g ] 09:47, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sure I've seen a counter-function-thing before somewhere on RSW before; I can't remember what it was... I'll have a search. 13:41, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * You could do something like this:
 * This basically just does some math that subtracts the date you placed the " " (an automatic timestamp) on the page from the current date. Example:  --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 04:20, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
