Title: Live clock in header
Post by: Joker™ on September 02, 2010, 10:47:59 AM
I was trying to make this from a long long time , and with the help of a friend and a book at last achieved it.

Live clock is a dynamic clock and not a static clock as we have in header of default SMF 2.0 RC3. I was trying to make the clock in such a way that it should be using as minimum resources as possible .
As it's not my alone work so not making a package of it (might someone may move it to appropriate board if it is in wrong place).

So to make it just make these following edits (make backup of the file before editing it).

open themes\default\index.template.php
Find:
echo '
<li>', $context['current_time'], '</li>
</ul>';


Replace it with:
echo '

<li>',timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), '
<li id="clock">Loading...</li>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
function refrClock()
{
var d=new Date();
var s=d.getSeconds();
var m=d.getMinutes();
var h=d.getHours();
var am_pm;
if (s<10) {s="0" + s}
if (m<10) {m="0" + m}
if (h>12) {h-=12;am_pm = "pm"}
else {am_pm="am"}
if (h<10) {h="0" + h}
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=h + ":" + m + ":" + s + am_pm;
setTimeout("refrClock()",1000);
}
refrClock();
// ]]></script>
</li></ul>';


Hope you guys will like this small piece of code :).

For live demo can visit freakygurus.com (You need to login to see the clock)

Edit: Now the clock code is compatible with "W3C Markup Validation"

If you want a clock that can handle different timezones, such as the one I have here, just below the banner:

http://www.tlakoc.org.uk

Gimme a shout.

surely like to see the code .

But i think the clock code we made gets the user time zone itself , one doesn't have to make time zone settings (i've not tested it completely , someone can give me a feedback).

We did it that way, so that members could check what the time was, where other members live.

It was so they could co-ordinate wars, or something.

This was the code, pretty-well:

<div style = "text-align: center;">
<form name="where">
<select name="city" size="1" onchange="updateclock(this);">
<option value="" selected>Local time</option>
<option value="0">London GMT</option>

<option value="7">Bangkok</option>
<option value="-3">Buenos Aires</option>
<option value="-5">Chicago</option>
<option value="+2">Dordrecht</option>
<option value="12">Fiji</option>
<option value="-10">Hawaii</option>
<option value="8">Hong Kong</option>
<option value="-4">New York</option>
<option value="+8">Perth</option>
<option value="2">Rome</option>
<option value="-7">San Francisco</option>
<option value="11">Sydney</option>
<option value="9">Tokyo</option>
</select>

<script language="JavaScript">

zone=0;
isitlocal=true;
ampm='';

function updateclock(z){
zone=z.options[z.selectedIndex].value;
isitlocal=(z.options[0].selected)?true:false;
}

function WorldClock(){
now=new Date();
ofst=now.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
secs=now.getSeconds();
sec=-1.57+Math.PI*secs/30;
mins=now.getMinutes();
min=-1.57+Math.PI*mins/30;
hr=(isitlocal)?now.getHours():(now.getHours() + parseInt(ofst)) + parseInt(zone);
hrs=-1.575+Math.PI*hr/6+Math.PI*parseInt(now.getMinutes())/360;
if (hr < 0) hr+=24;
if (hr > 23) hr-=24;
ampm = (hr > 11)?"PM":"AM";
statusampm = ampm.toLowerCase();

hr2 = hr;
if (hr2 == 0) hr2=12;
(hr2 < 13)?hr2:hr2 %= 12;
if (hr2<10) hr2="0"+hr2

var finaltime=hr2+':'+((mins < 10)?"0"+mins:mins)+':'+((secs < 10)?"0"+secs:secs)+' '+statusampm;

if (document.all)
worldclock.innerHTML=finaltime
else if (document.getElementById)

else if (document.layers){
document.worldclockns.document.worldclockns2.document.write(finaltime)

setTimeout('WorldClock()',1000);
}

window.onload=WorldClock

Well, I guess you'd need settings to enter the towns/cities and stuff, wouldn't you? Plus the time-offsets and stuff.

It's easy enough to edit them, manually, but I suspect that, as a mod, people would kinda expect it to be "Click this, click that".

Can you help me please?

That's the part where the clock in my forum is :)
// display the time
    echo '
                    <span class="smalltext">' , $context['current_time'], '<br /><br />';
                template_language_select();
    echo '</td>';


Thanks in advance for your help! :)

see the original code , you just need to replace this much.

' , $context['current_time'], '

',timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), '
<li id="clock">Loading...</li>
<script type="text/javascript">
function refrClock()
{
var d=new Date();
var s=d.getSeconds();
var m=d.getMinutes();
var h=d.getHours();
var am_pm;
if (s<10) {s="0" + s}
if (m<10) {m="0" + m}
if (h>12) {h-=12;am_pm = "pm"}
else {am_pm="am"}
if (h<10) {h="0" + h}
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=h + ":" + m + ":" + s + am_pm;
setTimeout("refrClock()",1000);
}
refrClock();
</script>
give it one more try ;)

no idea in my mind how to code that . Also think that it wouldn't be visible clearly at all due to size factor.
Title: Re: Live clock in header
Post by: KensonPlays on September 09, 2010, 12:38:31 PM
There are JS or DHTML scripts that do something like that, with your mouse on a website, it follows your mouse or something. But if you could do that, I would probably apply it to every SMF forum I create!

Is there any strain on the server?

By the way ya may have to shout a bit louder before kcmartz starts to listen.

Also what about the option of a 24 hour clock?

Replace: echo '

Cool. It works like a charm. I now have a live clock on my site. Thanks a million.

I dont like the comma and the format so I changed from ' ,timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), ' to ' ,timeformat(time(),'%d %B %Y'), '.

Hi Joker, the clock is out of sync when viewing who is online.

cant attach screen shot to show you the problem, but the clock up top says 04.03 pm but when viewing online it says 03.03pm.

Heloo Joker, nice mod,

can you make it work with Croatian time, (not am, pm) maybe you can change this script to show 24 hours time.,  like 2:30pm = 14:30.

I need just clock without date and time zone

now, I use one free script for clock, but i have problems, script what i use require some code to be added in body tag.

The basic funda of clock is this only that it is not region time specific, it'll show the user it's region time automatically. As far as am, pm is concerned you just have to play with the am/pm code in it (remove it ,slash it ,in short do something funny with it :P).

Post by: rocknroller on October 01, 2010, 04:19:31 PM
i am figured out, this is code for 24 hour time.

find:
<li>', $context['current_time'], '</li>

replace:
<li>',timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), '
<li id="sat">Učitavanje...</li> 
<script language="JavaScript">
function init(){
  timeDisplay = document.createTextNode ("");
  document.getElementById("sat").appendChild (timeDisplay);
}

function prikaziSat(){
var trenutnoVreme = new Date();
var sati = trenutnoVreme.getHours();
var minuti = trenutnoVreme.getMinutes();
var sekunde = trenutnoVreme.getSeconds();

  minuti    = (minuti < 10 ? "0" : "") + minuti;
  sekunde = (sekunde < 10 ? "0" : "") + sekunde;
  sati    = (sati < 10 ? "0" : "") + sati;

document.getElementById("sat").innerHTML= sati + ":" + minuti + ":" + sekunde;
setTimeout("prikaziSat()",1000);
}
prikaziSat();
</script>
</li>


Edit: added instructions for curve theme.

It means my all browsers have gone corrupt :P. TBH i thought you were asking us that whether or not we can see the clock or not, and still my answer is,"I can't see your clock (right hand side bottom)".

What code are you exactly using to make the clock?

so it is not a problem of smf restrictions....


the code is the follow,



</div><div class='widget HTML' id='HTML3'>

<div class='widget-content'>
<script src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/48ce7cdc6af09c41/49a72fec90affa95/48ce7cdc6af09c41/3818c1a1/widget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
<div class='clear'></div>
<span class='widget-item-control'>




normally if you save this on a html file you will see the clock.

hahaha, now i got what you are referring as clock. First if all it's not in bottom , it's in right hand side middle position. Secondly i was watching it for about 20 mins yesterday :P, so you can call me a culprit also. But you should have mentioned the style of clock you are referring to in first place as it is a very unusual clock. I think we all were searching for a digital or analog clock on your forum. Hmmm, so visualuser is talking about this clock (see the pic)

The clock is shown to guests only as per the theme  coding, you just have to get the clock code out of that guest loop.

Find:
else
{
echo sprintf($txt['welcome_guest'], $txt['guest_title']);

echo '
<br />', $context['current_time'],'<br />';
}



Replace it with:
else
{
echo sprintf($txt['welcome_guest'], $txt['guest_title']);
}
echo '
',timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), '

Ok Joker. Please bear with me. I'm not the sharpest nail in the sack. I tried installing what you said and I'm doing something wrong
I'm running SMF 2.0 RC3
I went in and found

  echo '
            ', $context['current_time'], '.
         </div>';

What part of that do I delete and replace with what? 

This Is what I would like to show

<iframe src="http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i2fagq4u/n184" frameborder="0" width="82" height="18"></iframe>

Is that Possable?

Try this code

         </div>';


Replace it with:
  echo '
            ', timeformat(time(),'%B, %d, %Y'), '
<li id="clock">Loading...</li>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[

Here is what I did to mine and it works perfect


         // But, let's always show minutes - Time wasted here: 0 minutes ;).
         echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['minutes'], $txt['totalTimeLogged4'], '<br />';
      }
   
      echo '

Hi beast44...

Yes I just used the code from Joker.

My problem was that when I took the code from Jokers attachment and put it into Notepad ++ it did not make the linebread and I had to make them manually. I went through the code and found some that I had forgot and made the linkebreaks and everything worked fine.

Title: Re: Live clock in header
Post by: Chalky on March 21, 2012, 04:12:49 PM
Please help, how do I:

a) display the day of the week? (3 letter format preferred)
b) change the month to three letter format?
c) display st or th after the date number? (low priority)

Currently my clock displays as (http://sabrinova.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5.0;attach=94;image)

I wanted 24 hour format with the date in British order and didn't want to display the seconds, so I have played around and my code currently looks like this:


timeformat(time(),'%d %B %Y'), '
<font id="clock">Loading...</font>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
function refrClock()
{
var d=new Date();
var s=d.getSeconds();
var m=d.getMinutes();
var h=d.getHours();
var am_pm;
if (s<10) {s="0" + s}
if (m<10) {m="0" + m}
if (h<10) {h="0" + h}
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=h + ":" + m;
setTimeout("refrClock()",1000);
}
refrClock();
// ]]></script> </li>
</ul>';


I have tried adding the variable %D for the day, but that just gives the whole date again as "03/21/12", and %M which should be the three letter month just gives the arbitrary number 8, so I can't figure out which formatting system this is using.

Thanks.

Post by: Chalky on March 22, 2012, 07:09:35 PM
Bumpity-bump.  I'm sorry but this is really bugging me, we would rather have a static clock that shows the correct day rather than a live one that doesn't.  Please can anyone tell me what to do just to get the weekday showing, Thu, Fri, etc.?  It must be possible, but feeding in all the D and other letters I can find just isn't helping.

var date=new Array();
date[21]="21st";
date[24]="24th";
date[25]="25th";
var whatever = date[d.getDate()];

So Im using this in my Clan Forum, Problem is, is that it is dynamic, i want it static to MSK Timezone, because that is was the servers / forums & majority of players are from, so we declare all times in MSK.
I know O Difference to Greenwich time (GMT) in hours Example: +0200
P Difference to Greenwich time (GMT) with colon between hours and minutes (added in PHP 5.1.3) Example: +02:00
T Timezone abbreviation Examples: EST, MDT ...
Z Timezone offset in seconds. The offset for timezones west of UTC is always negative, and for those east of UTC is always positive. -43200 through 50400

Are all option for setting a timezone, i am just confused as to where i am supposed to add it.
Atm i have it working as a 24 hour clock, in d, m, y format

    echo '

               <li>',timeformat(time(),'%d, %m, %Y'), '
</br>
<font id="clock">Loading...</font>

<script type="text/javascript">
function refrClock()
{
var d=new Date();
var s=d.getSeconds();
var m=d.getMinutes();
var H=d.getHours();
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=H + ":" + m + ":" + s;
setTimeout("refrClock()",1000);

var h=nd.getHours();
var am_pm;

Hi Joker--nifty change.  Is there a way for it to seek to see the profile choice, as like I being in the military for so long I enjoy using military time or 24 hour time verses 12 hour time.  This way it would all be seeking info from the users profile and displaying as they had chosen.

Thanks

William

Been busy with my brothers marriage. Most of my work has been on hold due to that only.

I'll try to find some time and see what I can do.

This depends on your template however this is possible - by assigning the module the special position or by changing the CSS style.

Be patient or add the clock manually.

It isn't that hard.

Much as I admire the ingenuity, I took the clock off my SMF site years ago. Everyone who wants a clock now has one at the top of their screen (or the bottom for non-Mac peeps) so I don't see a lot of use for them on sites really.

Was a while back Joker.

But as ya probably saw I'm green again.

@Jackregan

You know there's a mod for this now?

Why bother hijacking the thread if you don't see the point in a live clock?

::)

When this mod is installed the live from SMF in the admin center and current version is blank. Maybe this mod needs to be updated it works fine other than that.
