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.

just got it installed
work like a champ
thanks a ton
btw: head up for those who use v3.0.7
in the navar the author will tell you to look for this :

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

but all you will see is this

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a>: $vbphrase[unread_nav] <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><strong>$bbuserinfo[pmunread]</strong><else />$bbuserinfo[pmunread]</if>, $vbphrase[total] $bbuserinfo[pmtotal].</if>

and it is okie to put after that too
i tried it on mine and it works like a champ :banana:

Quick question....
I saw something similar in a user postbit. It is in the Profile, you set the time/date for an event you want to attend in the future, and the clock shows up in the postbit of a user's posts and the timer is ticking down. Can this be done with this?
I'm not a coder but have a forum. Be gentle please.

Yes that would be lovely. I am running 3.5.4 and I would love this if it is updated to run on my version!
