Menubar clock - UBB.Developers

Mod Name / Version - Menubar Clock 1.0

Description - This modification shows the user's local time in the menu bar.

Working Under - UBB.Threads 6.2

Pre-requisites - none

Author - Lisa_P

Credits - dman for requesting

Files Altered - ubbt.inc.php, ubbt_registered.tmpl, ubbt_unregistered.tmpl

Database Altered - none

New Files - none

NOTE: Prints out a user's local date and time in the menu bar, prints out the server's local time for unregistered.

I personally don't care for the way it looks; I'd probably mess with it more to get it to look a little nicer if I wasn't supposed to be getting ready for school.

heheh, nice

Installed and working great. Thanks! Although, in the registered.tmpl I added the time after the "Mark All Read" option instead of after the $members_link.

For those who want a clock that updates itself, and shows the user's own computer time, but is in javascript and not php, try this:

In ubbt_registerednav.tmpl and ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl, find this:

Code

<br />$members_link<br /> |<br /><a href = "$phpurl/markallread.php?Cat=$Cat" $target>{$ubbt_lang['MARKALL']}</a><br /></td><br /></tr><br />$tbclose<br />

and change it to this:

Code

<br />$members_link<br /> |<br /><a href = "$phpurl/markallread.php?Cat=$Cat" $target>{$ubbt_lang['MARKALL']}</a><br /><div id="Clock" class="menubar">&nbsp</div><br /><script><br />function tick() {<br />  var hours, minutes, seconds, ap;<br />  var intHours, intMinutes, intSeconds;<br />  var today;<br />  today = new Date();<br />  intHours = today.getHours();<br />  intMinutes = today.getMinutes();<br />  intSeconds = today.getSeconds();<br />  if (intHours == 0) {<br />     hours = "12:";<br />     ap = "A.M.";<br />  } else if (intHours < 12) { <br />     hours = intHours+":";<br />     ap = "A.M.";<br />  } else if (intHours == 12) {<br />     hours = "12:";<br />     ap = "P.M.";<br />  } else {<br />     intHours = intHours - 12<br />     hours = intHours + ":";<br />     ap = "P.M.";<br />  }<br />  if (intMinutes < 10) {<br />     minutes = "0"+intMinutes+":";<br />  } else {<br />     minutes = intMinutes+":";<br />  }<br />  if (intSeconds < 10) {<br />     seconds = "0"+intSeconds+" ";<br />  } else {<br />     seconds = intSeconds+" ";<br />  } <br />  timeString = hours+minutes+seconds+ap;<br />  Clock.innerHTML = timeString;<br />  window.setTimeout("tick();", 100);<br />}<br />window.onload = tick;<br /></script><br /></td><br /></tr><br />$tbclose<br />

that's it

Nice one - thanks.

Ok Lisa, it really works great. I have one question though. Do you know why it would work perfect on every screen except the Main Index screen? You can tell there's something supposed to be there but it's not, but it looks great everywhere else.
