Description
Hottaimoijiruna is a continuously updating AJAX powered clock for your site, with a customisable timezone so that you can display the time of day in your part of the world.
Installation
- Upload hottaimoijiruna.php to your plugins folder, usually
wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin on the plugin screen.
- Use the WordPress plugins editor and set « HOURS_FROM_GMT » appropriately for your timezone.
- In every template that you wish for the clock to appear, call the function hottaimoijiruna().
FAQ
- Can you alter the format of the returned date string?
-
Not yet, but you will be able to soon.
- How does it work?
-
Every minute hottaimoijiruna makes a call to the server and gets the current time. It uses SACK, an AJAX Kit by Gregory Wild-Smith, that comes built in with WordPress 2.0
- It doesn’t work!
-
Yes it does! See here. Have you activated the plugin? Are you using WordPress 2.0 or else have SACK installed? Have you called Have you got Javascript enabled?
- Will it work with WordPress 1.x?
-
For 1.2.x – no – it needs the templating system in 1.5+ to put javascript into a post or page. For 1.5+, probably, but it needs the SACK kit that is in 2.0. If you <a href=http://twilightuniverse.com/resources/code/sack/ »>download SACK and put it in the wp-includes/js/ directory, it should work.
- Will it break if the user doesn’t have Javascript?
-
Nope. It should degrade nicely, and just leave the default text (or nothing).
- Will it break if the XML call fails?
-
Nope. It should degrade nicely, and say « clock disabled ».
- Will this run on every WordPress page and post?
-
Nope, only on pages where you call hottaimoijiruna(), and it will quit before the first call if there is a problem.
- Do you have an example?
-
Have a look at my About Page.
- What’s with the stupid name?
-
Hottaimoijiruna is Japanese and it roughly means, « Don’t touch the potato that was dug up ». It is what some Japanese people think you are saying when you say « What time is is now? » Try saying it fast and you’ll understand.
- So it’s kind of a joke?
-
Kind of. Did you laugh?
