Magento

Hi,

I want to display the store time on magento frontend like a digital clock.
Can any one please help me how can i do his?

Thanks

Hello muk_t

Depending on where you want to display the time, you could either modify an existing layout (for example the header or footer) and place the following code in there:

Alternatively (and a better way of doing things), you could create a new “block” and then this allows you to insert wherever you’d like. Here is a great tutorial on creating new blocks if you’ve not created on before.

Cheers

The reason it shows a static time is because the code is executed only once.
In order to make a dynamic clock you can initialize a javascript date-time variable using the date function from php, and using javascript code, you can display the current time.

Here is a tutorial for this http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/servertime.shtml
