SWF Clock & Calendar At Bottom Of FORUMHOME

[organik81]

What does this extension ?
- I uploaded a screenshot about this. I think it's clear. :glasses:

Note : I tested it on internet explorer and Opera ; with internet explorer working well ; but with Opera, the swf clock didn't work..

- Upload the "clock_calendar.swf" in your parent "forum" directory.

- In FORUMHOME template, change all of codes between these lines;
<!-- icons and login code -->
...
...
<!-- / icons and login code -->
With these below;
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td align="center">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1" bordercolor="#416E88">

- In the codes (abowe) find this (2 times) ; And rename (correct) the green codes like your site.
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/clock_calendar.swf

- In footer template find and erase these codes (optional - this will remove the default vBulletin clock) ;

thanks, but why not zip and upload the swf here instead of using a file sharing service?

[Kirk Y]

Download the .swf from that site and upload it to yours... but yeah, I agree that'd be the normal thing to do.

[Boofo]

Can you please include the swf and a text file with the instructions in a zip for those that might want to re-install it later on?

I agree that zipped would be good. But the benefit of using file sharing is that if the clock swf file is updated then your linked version is autoupdated with it.

[Boofo]

But it's better to not use outside links for hack contents. ;)

No- that is not true, it only links to the file uploaded at that server, and that server is not the "source" of that flash file - that .swf file has been floating around the net for quite awhile, and it has never been updated, to my knowledge

[hydrostatic]

It doesn't work for Firefox... unless I'm missing something.

so then u just right click on the rapidshare file, as save target as...

works a treat on mine...

[organik81]

I edited my first message & uploaded the file "clock calendar.zip" . Includes installation.txt , clock calendar.swf , screenshots.. Above I said ; currently works in i.e. well.. ; for other browsers I'm waiting help... :) Thanx...

[silurius]

Would it be feasible to make it just not display for Firefox?

[phonexpo]

I tried this with vBulletin Version 3.5.4, but doesn't work. Any updates on this?

:)

[got1-2]

Thanks..installed, and working fine on VB 3.5.4

[Harley-Heaven]

<font color="Purple">Installed this on vB 3.5.4 and works fine - but ONLY with Internet Explorer - does NOT work with Firefox or Safari (Mac OS X)</font>

[Harley-Heaven]

Just a quick question, is it possible to locate this clock elsewhere?? I saw a board which had the clock on the top left corner of the board, it's just that most people tend to see the top of the board not the bottom......

[basilrath]

just move the codes from the footer to the header etc

[hotwheels]

For those that have used this, it does work in 3.6

[Zelos]

Yes, it does. The greatst thing though is how versitile it is. You don't have to add that clock; you can find any swf toy and add it.

[TheBlackPoet]

all this time i had no idea it was a calendar too!!!! 2 birds... one stone...

[hotwheels]

yea, it's pretty sweet.

[natralis]

Works in Maxthon browser as well without a hitch...

[Justin Murad]

Thanks, Installed ;)
