## This user macro counts down the number of days until a specific date
## @param endDate:title=End Date|type=date|required=true|desc=The end date. Format: mm/dd/YYYY

## declare variables and initialize as java date objects with current date
#set ( $endDate = $content.currentDate )
#set ( $currentDate = $content.currentDate )

## parse endDate param to milliseconds and set as time of endDate variable
$endDate.setTime($content.currentDate.parse($paramendDate))

## now we have 2 valid java date objects to work with

#if($currentDate.before($endDate))

## currentDate is before endDate => calculate delta
#set( $delta =  ($endDate.getTime() - $currentDate.getTime()))

## calculate remaining days
#set( $deltaDays = ($delta / (24 * 3600 * 1000)) )

## calculate remaining hours
#set( $deltaHours = ($delta % (24 * 3600 * 1000)) / (3600 * 1000) )

## calculate remaining minutes
#set( $deltaMinutes = (($delta % (24 * 3600 * 1000)) % (3600 * 1000) / (60 * 1000)) )

## calculate remaining seconds
#set( $deltaSeconds = (($delta % (24 * 3600 * 1000)) % (3600 * 1000) % (60 * 1000)) / (1000) )
