Implementing an hourly timer feature on bubble

I’m trying to implement an hourly timer feature using a timer plugin on bubble , I’m having a hard time saving the chronometer time to the database… The way it works is that when i start the timer it works fine, but whenever i reload the page, the timer also reloads… i need to be able to save the timer to the database , so that the time count will continue from where it stopped. Any help regarding this

timer plugin bubble

A timer just calculates the difference between two times (the current time, and some other reference time).

So just store the reference time in the database.

You do you mean you’re having a hard time storing it?

No that’s like a countdown… the timer counts up with no reference time… Here is an explanation

No, ALL timers (by definition) have a reference time.

the timer counts up with no reference time…

That’s impossible - All timers need a reference time (otherwise, what are they timing?)

You just need to define (and store) that reference time in the database (or elsewhere).

In your case, that’s the time the Start Button was clicked.

So just store that value, and use that as the reference time to count from.
