LiveClock [library support]

[pluqui]

I've installed it and turned it on, but it isn't showing so I'm guessing I need to add <span id="liveclock"></span> somewhere in the forum wrapper template. Does it matter exactly where? I don't 'do' coding.

Edit: I looked back this thread and added it at the end of Line 43 (after 'if'). I now shows after 'Logout' but only if I mouseover Logout, and goes away again when you refresh. Is this how it's meant to work?  If it is fine, although I'd like it before Logout

Edit2: I moved it and this is the line now:  span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span><span id="liveclock"></span>  $[logout_link]
                        {/if}

It  seems OK now. Just a little thing.  How to get more space  between User Name time/date and time/date and Logout link?

my example was just an example. it doesnt HAVE to go there. you could put it in side tables or at the top of every post if you wanted.

since HTML will reduce the extra whitespace, you can force whitespace by adding &nbsp; for every space you want to add.

if there is somewhere specific you want to put it?

Thanks I should have thought of &nbsp.
It's fine where it is, thanks.

Where would I put the code to have the clock below Home?

[Wormopolis]

assuming you mean the home button, in your forum template for forum wrapper, look for

<div id="navigation-menu" class="ui-helper-clearfix">

after all of the content that is inside of it, but before the closing </div> add in the span. you might need a <br> tag though

[Timebomb007]

That didn't work for me. It seems like I have to add it by:

<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.  Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
                       <span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>  $[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>

But I can't figure out how to get the clock to show in the forum on the same line with the Welcome member and Logout link.

you said before you wanted it over under "home"


where do you want it to show?

Right, I do want it under Home.



EDIT: I got it to work with using &nbsp; for spaces.

[Timebomb007]

Though when it hits 10:00+, the clock is moved to the right, which also results to the Logout being put on a new row.



So, if there's another way to put the clock under Home, than using &nbsp; that would be great.

this works for me:


<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.  Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>  $[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>
                   <br><br>Its <span id="liveclock"></span>

That one works for me too!
Just one thing, how do I get the text to be white?
