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.

Take out the background.jpg

$backgroundimage = ""; // filename of background

It will work after that

I just followed the instructions exactly when I did it and it worked first time. I created a clear gif 100x100 for the background.gif image so it will go with all my styles.
