Time Zone Clock
(UPDATED) New Version 3.9.2. Version 3.9.2 tries to fix problems when other javascript on the page is not considerate about hammering the windows.onload to start the javascript. This is a module to display up to 10 different time zones on your Joomla Site. Provisions are made to handle the special cases where the time zone is 30 or 45 minutes off from a normal GMT offset as well as the extra ones that are GMT+13 and GMT+14. (handles 39 different timezones) You must select the timezone difference from UTC/GMT and the descriptive tag you want displayed.. The time is now based on the server time. Daylight Saving Time is calculated for both US,Europe, and Australia(including Lord Howe Island that advances by 30 minutes for Daylight Savings Time). You can also set the colors for the background of the clocks and the color for the clock digits. Latest version allows you to display the clocks horizontally if you have a place in your theme that supports it. Forum and download area available at PHP Augusta's Web Site http://www.stroz.us/php/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36

TZ Clock - Or just Clock if you prefer by jsw, April 30, 2008
Time Zone Clock is so easy to install and configure that even a novice can use it.

Personally, I don't use all the different time zones, but use it as a simple clock to show visitors the time at the location of the web site. This is very useful if you don't want people from overseas telephoning you out of hours!

The great thing about Time Zone Clock is that it doesn't rely on your computer clock, so it doesn't matter what the time your computer thinks it is - it will always show the correct time.

The module is very clean and neat - no bells or whistles or annoying Flash graphics - just a straightforward, easy-to-install clock that can simply and successfully be used for a number of purposes.


Problems with fireboard by jas, January 13, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
I love this module I've used previous versions too. With this version it seems that the module disappears when its being used on the fireboard page of my site. Very strange I thought


Owner's reply:
Try the latest version 3.9.2 It attempts to correct the problems with other javascript on the page not handling the onload properly

Nice and simple by hrk, December 25, 2007

Nice for travel agency sites by thepisu, August 23, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
This small module can be a great gadget to put on a travel agency site... presenting the time of the main turistic destinations.


Great ! by baijianpeng, August 9, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
This module can display current time for different time zones.

If you allow to translate the weekday name that will be better.

If display time with Analog clock this will be perfect.

Thanks.


Owner's reply:
I'll work on a version to allow translation.



Analog clocks are problematic because they have to be calculated and are much slower.

UTC/GMT confusion by nisbus, August 8, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
I rather liked this module although having to change the files for translation is a bit tough.
There seems to be a common misconception that BST (British summer time) is the same as GMT and thus all the settings in this component are off by 1 hour during the summer time although this doesn't matter if you are using it from the U.K. or any other "normal" country that uses DST but for me it was a bit strange to configure (I live in Iceland which is always GMT without DST).

A nice update would be to change the header and color scheme from the component itself and maybe make it possible to put in more than 10 clocks.
I would also much prefer this as a component.

Thanks though it did the trick :)


Working Fine by bobmarkwith, July 25, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
I installed this today and am having no problems. I use IE 7 and, at least in the latest version, there are no issues.

The only comment would be to add more information in the time zone areas, so that you can easily find what they are.


Does what it says on the tin by carlessa, July 12, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
A good little module that does its job well.

I have a few niggles with it, but don't take these too negatively, the module works just fine already.

1. The clock update is triggered every second, even when the seconds aren't being shown. This causes a slight page flicker which is a bit distracting. My rough fix is just to change the setTimeout() interval to 60000 when no seconds are being used.

2. The Javascript is all inline which the HTML rather than being in a separate .js file. Not really a problem, it just looks a bit messy.

3. The styles are also inline rather than using the template CSS file. From other comments it looks like this is deliberate, but it's a bit of a pain to have CSS styles spread around the place.


Owner's reply:
Changing the timeout will affect the accuracy. Currently it locks the time to the pc and the server. The time should be the server time not the time on your pc. If you change the timeout the clocks will drift, condiderably if you leave them up on the page for a long time. As it is written you should not be more than a couple of seconds off for any amount of time up.



The javascript is written using php to do all of the calculations updating an include file is problematic on many installations.

Excellent - Thank You by tayhow, April 18, 2007

Now works with IE7.

Another reviewer mentioned a problem with 'IE7 wont load'. I had the same problem, but version 3.8 SOLVED it for me.

This was just what I want to help site visitor know when other members from different time zones are likely to be on-line.

Excellent!

Thanks for sharing your work.


Great Module by dabodude, February 20, 2007

I use this module for my game clan website! It's incredibly easy to install...

Is there anyway to change the language?


Owner's reply:
What part do you want in what languages.



Make any requests at http://www.stroz.us/php/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36



I'll see what I can do

IE7 wont load and cant change Class suffix by thechristopherh, February 19, 2007
1 of 2 people find this review helpful:
Can't change the Module Class Suffix. That prevented me from using it in the first place because of the template on my site. And then when I used it anyway it looked quite good in Mozilla despite not being able to change the class suffix. But I started it up in IE7 and it would give me errors and wouldn't load my page. Its a shame because I really liked the idea of this one.


Owner's reply:
The latest version does not include a CSS file. All CSS is defined inline and is editable in the module manager.



If you have specific problems please email me at d.sowers (at) advlanguage.com .



I'm here to help.

Very good extension by tomjoe, February 12, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Easy to install, easy to use. The developer is very active and improved the module a lot recently. Very recommendable!


Owner's reply:
Thank You.



I'm working on a new version that will allow 10 timezones and maximum flexibility for the display of times

Great Idea but ... by Rafmeister, February 5, 2007
0 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Why in gods name does it calculate the time backwards?

It keeps time but looks very odd counting down in seconds but the minutes increasing once it hits 10 seconds - very odd.


Owner's reply:
The previous version did occasionally do that when your pc's clock was significantly off from the correct time.



Please try the latest version.



Let me know if you still have problems with it.

Nice, very nice by pii33324, January 9, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Well... Installed it and adjusted settings all within 5 minutes. Looks awsome and works likewise. WOULD PREFER NOT TO HAVE SECONDS SHOWING or the ability to control that from the configurations panel. Otherwise, great module. Thank you.


Owner's reply:
Will add ability to shut off seconds when I get some time.
