World Clock

[kat]

Odd. It keeps telling that there's a syntax error with this line:

document.write('<span id="worldclock" style="font:bold 16px Arial;"></span><br>')

Bit odd, coz it works on my 1.1.16 forum.

I'm fiddlin'...

If it helps...

If you put the code at the very top of the page, before even the opening php tag, it shows at the top of the page, on the left.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/playing/public_html/Themes/PixelBreasts/index.template.php on line 69


All I saw was the error.

[kat]

Sorry. Been having hassles with the damned FTP client...

Gimme a while to figure that out.

FFS... This is the kind of thing that makes me sooooooo glad that I've never "upgraded" to v2 of SMF.

I can put that code in all sorts of places, with v1, and it works.

I've tried loads of places with v2 and I keep getting errors.

Thing is, the errors are shown as being miles away from where I put the code.

I just put it at the top and it's telling me there's an error on line 506!!

I really abhor v2.

I'll keep fiddling, though.

Right...

If you make this a file of it's own:

and save it to the root of your site, then put this as the second line of index.template.php, after <?php:

Code Select Expand

require 'banner.php';

It looks like this:

http://playing.twaddlehosting.co.uk (It's at the very top).

Thanks K@

I moved it to where the usual clock would normally be.

Just needs to be moved to the right slightly then it will be perfect.

I'm sure a man of your talents will figure that one out.

I'm on a high, after watching Chelsea beat Napoli. So, I'm not gonna be much use for the rest of the night.

Unless the wife wants to help me celebrate, of course.

Nothing better to watch on tv?

Night on the town?

Isn't it past ya bedtime?

This should go to tips n Tricks for 2.0.2

[kat]

Get it sorted?

[TheListener]

Sure did.

Is under the user info top right.

[kat]

Ah. Not for guest viewing, then.

That explains why I didn't see it.

Glad you got it figured, matey!

Didn't think of that.
