If you use this mod, you MUST put the following text in your footer:

Graphical clock by filburt1.

I put a lot of work into this seemingly simple mod and it's the least you can do

This is basically a graphical cloc. Configure the following variables within the file clock.php to make it match your forums:

PHP Code:

$backgroundimage = "background.jpg"; // filename of background
                                     // image (must be a .jpg); omit to make a
                                     // 300x300 blank black image. The image must be
                                     // square (i.e., 1:1 ratio)
$outercutoff = 9; // nothing will be drawn outside this padding threshold
    
// Following are cutoffs relative to $outercutoff
$minutescutoff = 10; // smallest distance the minute hand will ever be from the edge
$hourscutoff = 20; // smallest distance the hour hand will ever be from the edge
$realistichourhand = 1; // make the hour hand shift according to the minute when 1
$realisticminutehand = 1; // make the minute hand shift according to the second when 1
$minutescolor = "666666"; // hex color to use for minute hand, omit for white
$hourscolor = "666666"; // hex color to use for hour hand, omit for white
$tickscolor = "777777"; // hex color to use for the ticks, omit to omit the ticks
$textcolor = ""; // hex color to use for the text, omit to omit the text 


You need PHP with the GD library to use this.

The files and instructions are coming up in the next post.

What's the problem?

k00l
wud be better to be an active one tho...
i got an active one, just it made in JavaScript, and it doesn't show a clock, just the digits

the problem is , that the numbers are not on the right position.

Did you not see this

in the clock.php i edit the hexcolors.

The numbers are in the best place they could be. If they were anywhere else they wouldn't be correct. If they bother you, disable them. I'm sure your users can live without them, and It might look better with no digits.

This isn't working for me. GD is installed and running. The problem is I don't know what to edit in clock.php. What am I supposed to do? Just upload clock.php into my directory? I don't have a background.jpg image BTW.

Any help is appreciated.

Also, I'm using vB3 Gold, FWIW.

[filburt1]

Look at the large block of PHP code in the first post with comments describing each variable.

[Loyalty4Life]

I did. I read the instructions. Do I have to edit anything in clock.php? Can I just upload it then put it in my header? Does this work for vB3?
