Nice Hack! But I have some questions/suggestions:
The clock appears in the table under the User/Logout status.... but only on the Forum Summary.
Why not make it consistently appear there everywhere? I dropped the "Subscribed Topics" link right below the username/login stat line stuff in public_common whick makes those two functions always available...
Seems to me, that if the clock is going to be right under another piece of "always available" info/function, that it should be there all the time. Just a thought...
[b]Look at my board if you like...[/b] I've looked at it myself, but I'm not smart enough to make it work... yet. I know that you'd need to remove the changes from public_forum_summary.pl and apply changes to public_common.pl. duh...
But I rapidly get lost in how some of the code works, etc.
Some additional things are:
If you move the clock to public_common.pl AND you have News Fader, you are going to have to make some kind of change to the "Get Time()" line added to fader.js...
It'd need to be removed from fader.js and put somewhere else... common? (unless you put the fader in common, which is probably not the best solution....)
Now, in my situation, it gets more complicated...
a) I want the clock to be common under the User/login/pm stuff on every page (public_common.pl), but
b) I want the Fader to appear on the Forun Summary page and each Forum Overview (public-form_summary.pl and public_form.pl, but not on topic view (public_topic.pl)...
A lot of my users enter the site directly to a Forum and not by the Forum Summary...
In any event, I want to make the clock common and the fader appear at Summary and Forum levels...
The only reason I bring up the Fader stuff is because the clock hack has a dependency consideration in it re: News Fader.
Thanks,
