Time Zone Clock Module

(UPDATED) New Version 4.0 for Joomla 1.6/1.7/2.5. 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). This version does use the module_class_suffix. 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.phpaugusta.com/

Does what it says on the tin

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.

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

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.

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

Is there anyway to change the language?

IE7 wont load and cant change Class suffix

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.

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.

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 ...

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

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.

This is what I was looking for
