vbClock v1.3 (with Alarm, Stopwatch and World Time)

vBClock
version 1.3

DIFFICULTY: Beginner/Simple
TIME TO INSTALL: Less than 5 minutes
Templates to edit: 2
New phrases: 1
New files to upload: 6 (1 .php, 2 .html, 2 .gif, 1 .mid)

This adds an auto-updating javascript clock (ie: the seconds "tick") that is displayed in the WELCOME area of the NAVBAR. When you click on the phrase "The current time is" it opens a new popup window that displays the current time in every time zone. If you click on the alarm clock icon it opens a popup window that has an alarm clock which the user can either enter their own alert message, or they can play a midi file audio alert at a pre-selected time (the audio alert function seems to work on IE only at this point). If you click on the stopwatch icon it will open a popup window with a stopwatch. The stopwatch has stop/start, pause, reset and split time functions.

Cool,

Thanks


Installed and works fine but my pop up blocker blocks the alarm... clock works great though. Nice little add on!!

I added a Stopwatch function. If you click on the stopwatch icon it will open a popup window with a stopwatch that has stop/start, pause, reset and split time functions.

This is pretty cool. I installed this but it made my smilies not work in the reply. When you click on the smilie they didnt work you had to enter them manually.

weird

Thanks for the info- I will look into it. I can't imagine why it would cause a conflict with the smilies since it does not edit any code that the smilies use

I think it has to do with the javascript in the code?

See the smilies work in the quick reply but as some as you 'go advanced' and click on a smilie it doesnt do anything. Also with just the time there it does the same thing I just found out.

Hope that helps you out.

I added this into my modified welcome panel and it is cool. The only problem is that most pop up blockers will blocl the alarm feature. Perhaps there is a better way to get that to work using another method simliar to how the info bar pop up works maybe...

That way it will not really be a pop up but will work just the same

Good job. I clicked install
However, some styling of this [https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...hmentid=27387] would be of use.
