vB flash clock integration hack
 
well this is my first release for a vBulletin hack and it is only v1.0 and it is completlety bug free. This hack should work on any vBulletin version from 2.03-2.25 as it only requires 2 file uploads and 2 template edits. All the instructions and needed files are included in the zip file and copyrights go to macromedia for the clock that is used.

*******
UPDATE
*******
1. Fixed some writing that was left behind from previous install.
2. Fixed some things that the install said were there but weren't.

Enjoy!

yeah, i know, i gave up...

still don't know what this hack does... lol

BigJohnson 04-27-2002 12:26 AM
i waited it took me about 20-30 min but it just a big clock on a page that displays the time and the clock hands move, but overall its a nice hack, just needs the timing moved up and maybe on the front page with some resizing, nice hack thanx

JulianD 04-27-2002 02:25 AM
I'm going to download it and try it with my local board.

to do this in the install file where it says:

Quote:
************************************************** *****
1. Create a called template 'clock_swf' and paste the following as the content:
************************************************** *****


<OBJECT width=(desired width)(450 is good) height=(desired height)(300 is good)><PARAM NAME="Sitename Forums Flash Clock" VALUE="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf">
<embed src="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf" width="(desired width)(450 is good)"
height="(desired height)(300 is good)"></embed></OBJECT>

************************************************** *****
just put the following code in the forumhome template:

Quote:
<OBJECT width=(desired width)(450 is good) height=(desired height)(300 is good)><PARAM NAME="Sitename Forums Flash Clock" VALUE="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf">
<embed src="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf" width="(desired width)(450 is good)"
height="(desired height)(300 is good)"></embed></OBJECT>
you just gotta edit the link to the SWF file and change the sizes :)

BigJohnson 04-27-2002 01:22 PM
thanx

JTMON 04-27-2002 02:16 PM
awesome hack. We need more Flash/vbulletin hacks. It's great because you can scale the flash usually with no unwanted problems.

pattox2k1 04-29-2002 07:20 AM
ok ill take care of that then ;) ill make some more flash integration hacks :D my next idea is a flash jukebox.......i jus gotta edit the songs ;)

Snake~eyes 06-09-2002 05:23 AM
I wanna see a demo...
all the links were dead

pattox2k1 06-09-2002 06:02 AM
ok then.......go to:

http://www.thugnature.net/forums/clock.php

firewars 06-09-2002 06:43 AM
That gives me an empty page with the HTML code:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: clock -->

<!-- END TEMPLATE: clock -->

..I'm gonna upload the flash itself to see what it is like then ;)

firewars 06-09-2002 06:46 AM
Here we go.
This is what the clock looks like itself:

Code improvements making the installation easier:

I have changed the code a bit making the installation easier (you don't have to change that many values, you still can, of course).


clock_swf template

I changed:

PHP Code:
<OBJECT width=(desired width)(450 is good) height=(desired height)(300 is good)><PARAM NAME="Sitename Forums Flash Clock" VALUE="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf">
            <embed src="http://www.youraddress.com/forums/Clock.swf" width="(desired width)(450 is good)"             
height="(desired height)(300 is good)"></embed></OBJECT> 
into

PHP Code:
<OBJECT width=450 height=300><PARAM NAME="$bbtitle Flash Clock" VALUE="$bburl/Clock.swf">
            <embed src="$bburl/Clock.swf" width="450"          
height="300"></embed></OBJECT> 
and thus making the script automatically know the URL to the board.

Here it is installed and not fitting my forums style nor being centered.
Nice hack, though.
