Analog Clock + Digital Clock + Calender [All in 1 with flash!]

[Zorobz]

i found this great watch on the internet.
its an analog watch+digital watch+calender in a flash format.
this module can decrease your queries count as well by eliminating the calender module!
the flash uses action script to determine the correct GMT and date so its diffrent for each user...

Add the following template in your admin panel:
adv_portal_clock

content[This template includes the collapsing modules mod built in it]:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('clock')"><img id="collapseimg_clock" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_clock.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Time & Date</strong></span></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_clock" style="$collapseobj_clock">
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center" width="100%">

Now download the clock from the attachment and put it at your "modules" folder with all the php files.
Than add a module in your vBA page in the usual way...

play around with the Bgcolor of your clock to match your forums background so it would fit it...(<param name=bgcolor value=F6F8FA>)

If you are confused and dont really understand how this clock works visit http://www.ex-zone.com for a live demo.

Excellent hack!

Nice module but its not working in firefox. On your page this is also working in my firefox but on mine only when I look at the page using the IE.

Ok, I've tested this now with three of my visitors and they all can't see the clock while browsing my page with firefox.
On yours they can see it.

Can you please post your template here again? There seems to be small changes.

[Zorobz]

weird.... might be it.
glad its fixed :]

[KW802]

I'm not a big fan of these 'clock modules' but I've got to admit, this one is pretty cool looking. :cool:

Anybody out there familiar with flash? Bonus points to whomever gets the calendar to talk to VB's calendar. :p

[Zorobz]

what do u mean to "talk" ? what do u want it to do ?

[KW802]

what do u mean to "talk" ? what do u want it to do ?Instead of having both the default CMPS calendar module and a second module that also displays the calendar (in this case, the "clock/calendar"), it'd be pretty cool if the SWF version was able to show the VB events thus eliminating the need for the CMPS version. :)

[Zorobz]

oh..... its possible.
all that needed is flash to load the varialbes(the easy part) and after that do what the caleder does which i dont know what... but should be possible since the work is done by the php file.

[Deviant++]

dosn't seem to work on mine, any idea why ?
I've put in all the content for template and added the file to the folder, even set it in layout, but its not appearing..

[Zorobz]

copy the template you made here.
make sure all is defined correctly on vba.

[syedakm]

I added the clock templates and module as it was instructed, when I go to the main page of my forum it displays ASCII characters for almost a page's worth and then the rest of the forum page.

I reinstalled the flash viewer, still nothing. I am using IE. Any ideas?

VERY nice!

Would it be possible to alter the .swf file so that the calendar becomes default?

Someone help me out please.. :(

[Skaterscafe.com]

Well I can't get this one to work either...not sure what I'm doing wrong but no modules will work on my CMPS.

[DarkDD]

I was having the same problem but i found out a lil key element...when you go to make the module DONT include adv_portal_clock just put clock in the template box and it will show up :D

[Deviant++]

dont make any diff

[Nathan]

If you are confused and dont really understand how this clock works visit http://www.ex-zone.com for a live demo.
Did you remove it? I don't see it on your site anywhere.

[Zorobz]

Did you remove it? I don't see it on your site anywhere.
I did remove it... dont use vBA anymore.
sorry.

[Nathan]

Ok, can you tell me why?

[Gizmo[5h1t3]]

works an absolute treat mate......

not sure if this helps, but some peoiple might be missing this bit....

in the code, there are a number of edits to be made, which i have highlighted.

the instructions do not specify this, and while it might be obvious to some, others might not see it.

the bits highlighted in blue have to be edited to include the URL of your site, and the path to the file on your FTP.

as i said, obvious to some, but others might not see it..thus not have a clock display.

Hope its of help.

Could u show me how u place the background like that, I might already know how but u already do so I like to learn the fast way. :D

and I like to know if u can make it do random pictures every time u log on or just click back & forth :)

is it possible to show the calendar first when opening the website? or showing both in a larger module?

when i open the cmps site the clock is showing up. i would like to replace the original minicalendar with your calendar. but i want to see the calendar and the clock at the same time! this means in a seperated module or in a larger module the clock and the calendar. i hope you understand now what i mean. :)

how is it possible to show the date (i.e. 19-04-2005) instead of Time & Date ?

Very good hack,

not sue if I've messed up but can anyone check if the clock is visible on my page.

http://www.mac-help.com/

If I view the site with IE on Win XP then the closk/calendar are there and look great..

but if I view the page in Safari or IE on a Mac OS X 10.3.8, the time and date panel shows up but no clock/calender inside it.

Any help anyone thanks

Make sure your users are using IE cause that is what I am going to tell them until IE or the other browser merge with each other. Or u are going to be fraustrated but I am sure someone made one that works.

[machelp]

IE on the Mac doesn't show it either !

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

IE on the Mac doesn't show it either !

u have a mac computer, Oh then I am sorry to respond before, I thought u were had a pc while running a Mac site. To bad I do not see a Help Place for Mac Users here. U should take this up with the Admin. here cause I do not know if this code works for Mac users. sorry :confused:
I just went to your site and I see the time display but it took a few seconds and the forum load up took 30sec to load up. :cool:
One thing u need to do is match the colour background with the other modules , I see a tint of blue & cache the IE ctrl+f5 place your url link of your page & press ok. That is what I was told to do before or just clean your cookies if u have a good proggy for that like CyberScrub or just use what u got.

Sorry again it does not show on Mac IE , another place to get IE answers is at Microsoft chat forum they have techs to help u out for free. Not the ones u phone but on a forum run by microsoft techs . I will get the link if someone has not posted before. ;)

Hi Deviant,

can you expand further ?

thanks

[Deviant++]

make a .htm file with the flash in it and dimensions specified..

make the module with a template iframing to that htm

and it'll instantly appear.

a good size is 140x140

Thanks, I will give it a go.
