<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Clock</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center" width="100%">
<object width="150" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.website.com/clock.swf">
<embed src="http://www.website.com/clock.swf" width="150" height="150">
</embed>

That is sweet! Thanks. :D

Any chance of having a choice of clock faces? And how do you change colors (hands, numbers, background, etc.)?

[nineball]

Installed, Very nice

[cLord]

10 new clock faces attached in the .zip

I TAKE ABSOLUTLY NO CREDIT FOR THE CLOCKS, I JUST FOUND THEM ON THE NET!

Im no good with flash just wondering if I can get clock number 6 with regular time no military

You can't edit .swf files, you need the .fla to edit the source... :(

If you have the authors permission you can decompile the swf and edit it..

[Intex]

Very nice cLord. Thx for that.

One question about this is:

That this clock show the current time as per the user's timezone? What I would like to use would be something like this but specific for a certain time zone (ET) so that PT users know the 'official time' and meet their deadlines accordingly instead of hearing "What do you mean deadline has passed!? it's only 6pm!" ... "Yeah 6pm PT but it is, in fact, 9pm ET)" :D

Flashkit also has some nice clocks.

I know that I have done somthing wrong, but can someone tell me what :)

I created the template using the following code with amendments:-

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Clock</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center" width="100%">
<object width="150" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/clock.swf">
<embed src="http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/clock.swf" width="150" height="150">
</embed>
</object>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have uploaded my clock to the location specified above. I now get the module named "clock" but no clock face appears :confused: although it does say that 1 item remains to be loaded but does nothing.

Any ideas

The path to your clock isn't correct, when I type http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/clock.swf then I get a 404...

I have now turned the module back on, so if you look at the home page now, you will see what I get :confused: what would be the best place to put the clock? within the forum files or just on the server, ie www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/clock

Stu

[cLord]

Any place will do as long as you point the script in the right direction...
If you're sure of the location and the clock still isn't showing then check if you used caps sa: clock.SWF

I see no problems with your homepage, just the clock isn't loading but that is normal since it's not in the location the script searches...

Thanks for your reply, I will need to check the path when I get home from work, and see what I have done. I know it will be somthing stupid, but late last night I just drew a blank!

I've installed the clock and it is very nice.
however isnt there some way where it picks up different kinda clocks at random..instead of using one specific kinda clock each time??

Thank you cLord! Your posts here have provided me a wealth of goodies over the last few days! I've just installed this, and I love it - thank you so much. I combined it with a script that displays the day name with a graphic, and prints the date. I'll attempt to post a pic of it.

isnt there some way where it picks up different kinda clocks at random..instead of using one specific kinda clock each time?? It would also be nice to allow the members to select their own clock out of the ten available. :) Anyway, I love it, thanks!
