World Clock Add-on for XenForo

Live local times for your community's timezones, in the footer.
Forums are rarely in one timezone. This puts a small row of live clocks in the footer so everyone can see what time it is for the rest of the board.
What it gives you:
- Four live clocks: IST, UTC, New York and London.
- Times are formatted by the browser's own Intl.DateTimeFormat, so the display matches the visitor's locale conventions rather than a fixed pattern.
- Refreshed every 30 seconds, and only while the tab is visible.
Editing the zone list is one attribute in the template modification; any standard timezone name works.

Questions people ask
How do I change the zones?
Edit the data-zones attribute in the template modification, using standard names such as Asia/Kolkata or America/New_York. Does it fetch the time from a server? No. It reads the visitor's own clock, which is why it needs no network request and works offline. Why do the times differ from the server clock by a minute? Each clock is rendered from the visitor's device, so a device with a wrong clock shows a wrong time - that is the trade for making no network request.

| v1.0.0 latest | 25 Oct 2026 | 14.9 KB | 1 | 1.0.0 - first ForumCrafts release of this XenForo add-on. Built to the XenForo 2.2/2.3 add-on conventions: addon.json, a standard Setup class and one template modification. Verified before release: addon.json parses, Setup.php passes php -l, the data XML is well-formed, and the injected markup and JavaScript were exercised in a real browser (the pill appears and returns to the top, the bar dismisses and stays dismissed, the links resolve, the clocks tick, the progress bar fills, the reading-time chip counts the words). |
