4/1/2009 18:52 | pls can you show me the path to the web config to place those .dll,
becos i drop it at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 and it did not work error message " unable to add selected web part(s).
digital clock: A web part or web form control on this page cannot be displayed or imported. the is not registered as safe.
thanks |

Juerg
4/2/2009 09:40 | The correct path to put the DLL (for a typical default Sharepoint installation) is
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin
Your error message indicates that the SafeControl entry to be added to the Web.config file is either missing or not properly formatted. You can find the web.confg file at:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
Please put the entry as described into the section. Make sure to add it on a single line. Use Notepad for editing (not WordPad or some other fancy editor).

4/9/2009 11:24 | i don't seem to have a <SAFE controls> section in my web.config file. could it have a different name? Thx. |
|
Juerg
4/9/2009 17:35 | You should be able to see the "SafeControls" section quite at the top of the file. See below the top of a typical Sharepoint web.config file:

4/16/2009 18:43 | Thanks. My web.config looks very different, there's no line anywhere.
does this mean I have no access to the right file? thx again. |

4/17/2009 08:46 | I am trying to get these web parts to work with SBS 2008 - Company Web. I can see them listed in the miscellaneous section of Add Web Parts but I get an error as follows: "Unable to add selected web part(s).
Yahoo Weather Forecast: Cannot import this Web Part".
My web.config is at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\4721\ and I put the dlls in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\4721\bin. |
|
Juerg
4/20/2009 13:30 | Jim, you have to put the Weather Forecast Web part DLL into the GAC of your Sharepoint server at c:\windows\assembly instead of the local bin directory for Sharepoint security reasons (The Weather web part needs to access an external RSS feed provided by Yahoo).
|

Juerg
4/21/2009 10:59 | Jamie, we have updated the Digital Clock web part to properly accept fractional time zone offsets (as eg. Adelaide/Australia which is offset by +7.5 hours relative to Zurich/Switzerland.
Please re-download the ZIP file and replace the web part DLL. |
|
peter
5/4/2009 16:35 | Really appreciate the web parts you've made available. Thank you!
A couple issues we've noticed when using this web part.
1) If you have a time zone offset of "0" (zero) for a world clock, that world clock will display seconds. (the work around is to do a 24hr offset. )
2) The offset seems to be based on the users local time/clock, not a global timezone offset (GMT). Therefore, when we deploy this tool to a site that has users from around the world, the times are wrong.
Are you seeing these same issues?
Thanks again! |
|
Juerg
5/6/2009 14:44 | we have updated the web part which now will correct the selected world clock displays based on the user’s local GMT time zone offset.
Please re-download the ZIP, extract and replace the DLL.
Please note that you will have to reset IIS if you deployed the DLL to the GAC. |

Matthew Lindgren
5/22/2009 20:13 | I am having some problems adding the webpart to my MOSS enviroment. I have added the files to the assembly directory under windows, and I have edited the web.config Safecontrol area do an iisreset, however when I import the webpart I get a msg that the web part is not safe. |
|
Juerg
5/25/2009 10:16 | Matthew,
it looks like your SafeControls entry is missing in Web.Config (see Instructions above, step 3).
You probably either forgot to add the „SafeControl” entry to the Web.Config file or you applied it to the wrong Web.Config file. The correct location of this file on your Sharepoint server is most probably at
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 |
|
Matthew Lindgren
5/27/2009 15:55 | I dont believe that is the problem. Here is a snippet from my web.config file.

|
Juerg
6/25/2009 14:15 | Vinny,
can you check if the trust level in your web.config file is set to “WSS_Minimal” ? If so, you will have to set it to “medium” as follows:
<trust level="WSS_Medium" originUrl="" /> |
|
Marian
6/25/2009 15:14 | Hi Juerg,
Is there a way to get that gray frame away? The squared frame around the webpart, so only clock shows...
Thank you |
|
Juerg
6/25/2009 18:30 | Marian, we now have added a new "Clock Background Color" property. If you specify "white" (or any other desired background color), the gray border frame will be suppressed. Please re-download the ZIP file, extract and replace the DLL, followed by an IIS reset.

David
7/1/2009 01:09 | I found an interesting thing in this web part. The date is from SharePoint server, and the time is from the user's computer. I think it's better both the date and the time should get from user's computer as the users are probably not in the same region as the server is. |
|
Dave
7/15/2009 19:01 | I get the same error - Unable to add slected Web part(s) AE Digital Clock: Cannot import this Web Part

10/22/2009 11:05 | Hello there !
I really would like to have this part implemented, but I am an absolute novice in working with sharepoints and obviously I miss something, concerning locating the Web.Config file .
I tried to access C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 , but I am not getting anywhere. I cannot access C:\Inetpub at all.
When I search for Web.Config I only get one result in the Visual Studio Projects folder, but I suppose this is different.
Is there any alternative way to locate and modify this file ?
Thank you very much for you time and support ! |

Juerg
1/29/2010 10:09 | Sathya,
the web part license applies to each web front end server. |
|
David
1/29/2010 19:15 | If I have to Front-end servers, do I need to buy 2 licenses? |
|
Benny
2/10/2010 17:53 | I wondered if you provide the source code when you buy the licence for the web part, so I can customize it. |
|
Juerg
2/11/2010 10:16 | Benny, we provide the source code (for non-commercial internal use only) as part of the premium annual support (see bottom of right-hand pane on this page) |
|
Brian
2/19/2010 16:01 | Per, Dave's Post on 7/1/2009, we are also experiencing this issue. The date seems to be taken from the SharePoint server while the time is from the user's computer. Is this still a known issue? Any chance a fix will be made in the future to pull the date from the user's computer? |
|
Juerg
2/19/2010 18:21 | Brian,
we fixed this a couple of days ago. Just re-download the Zip package and replace the DLL. |

Munna
3/11/2010 07:54 | Hi,
i would like to know how to activate the license on entire web application instead per webpart.
thnx. |
|
Juerg
3/11/2010 09:57 | Munna,
you can add the License Key to your web.config (typically found at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\virtualdirectories\80) <appSettings> section as follows:
<appSettings>
.
.
<add key="AEDC" value="AEDC-x-xxxxx-xxxxx-xx-xx" />
</appSettings>
Replace the “x” characters with your actual key value. |
|
Mari
3/26/2010 19:49 | For the digital clock display, if we add, say, 7 other world clock time zones to the display, will it wrap around to the next row in the webpart display if we fix the width of the webpart? |
|
Juerg
3/26/2010 20:40 | Mari,
you can control this by inserting asterisk characters to force "line breaks" between world clocks (see description of the "World Clock Locations" setting above) |
|
maylin
3/28/2010 16:50 | Hi, i edited the web.config successfully, but how to activate the webpart on entire web application for another user can use it? |
|
Juerg
3/29/2010 09:32 | maylin,
are you referring the the appSettings license key setting ?
This setting actually activates the web part license for the entire web application. |
|
Pierre
3/29/2010 16:15 | When I add a second clock webpart on the same page, the second one doesn't work: I have the date but no time....
As Mari, I've modified my web.config to activiate on a webappliction, but it still ask me for key license. |
|
Juerg
3/30/2010 10:29 | Pierre, we've now added the capability to place multiple clocks on a page.
Regarding adding the license key to web.config: we've added this feature on February 14, so it might well be that do don't have the most recent version.
Please re-download the Zip file, extract and then replace the DLL. |
|
Pierre
3/31/2010 16:10 | Indeed the new dll solved the appsettings issue and partially the multiple clock webpart issue.
Partially because now I have 1 webpart with my current time and the World Clock Locations time but on the other one I just have my current time and no World Clock Locations time!! (Only the location is sown without the time) :( |
|
Juerg
4/1/2010 12:28 | Pierre,
we've now also fixed this. Thus now also the world clocks work OK if you place multiple clock web parts onto the same page. Please re-download the updated Zip file and replace the DLL. |
|
Pierre
4/6/2010 11:02 | Thank you Juerg, it now works like a charm, this is a great webpart with a great support !! |

Amy
7/8/2010 16:48 | We bought the license version, but when I try to use the analog clock I get a 403 page error. The only way I can get back to the page is if I delete the webpart by using contents=1 and deleting the web part. We added the DLL correctly, we added the safecontrol, and we went in and added the key. Any help? |
|
Juerg
7/8/2010 17:09 | Amy,
the analog clock requires Macromedia Flash to be installed on the client machine. If Flash is not installed, the client attempts to download Flash from the Macromedia site which might not be allowed in your environment. |
|
pan
10/1/2010 04:33 | Is there any reason why you don't wrap your web parts up as WSP files. A quick read through the comments here is enough to make me shudder at the number of unsafe customisations being made. |
|
Juerg
10/1/2010 09:53 | pan,
the web parts all come as WSP solutions so you don't neeed to worry. |
|
Nick Larter
12/10/2010 17:10 | The web part has a fixed padding of 10px on each side. The world clocks table also has a fixed width of 10px on each side. This 20px of unnecessary whitespace makes it very difficult to fit into a column on a page -- is there any way to remove/reduce this? |
|
Nick Larter
12/10/2010 17:15 | The analog world clocks are not affected by the "Analog Clock Design" setting -- is this a bug?
Also, if the analog world clocks are reduced in size to < 80px each, the text shrinks so much that it becomes unreadable. Is it possible to make the text-size fixed? |
|
Juerg
12/10/2010 17:41 | Nick,
you can apply your own CSS style (and thus override the 10px padding) by adding the following lines to the AppSettings section of your Sharepoint application’s web.config file:
<appSettings>
.
.
<add key="AEDC_ClockStyle" value="align:center;text-align:center" />
<add key="AEDC_WorldClockColor" value="FFCC99" />
</appSettings>
The first line allows you to define the CSS styles for the clock container and the second line allows you to customize the color of the world clock (please enter an RRGGBB value).

12/14/2010 15:43 | HI, I am very new to Sharepoint, so sorry if this is a stumpid question.
I am trying to load the clock web part, but it doesn't display.
I have tried with both the auto install .bat file and the manual opertion.
I go through the solution management>Deployment etc, and in the add web parts section see the AE Digital Clock Web part in the list to choose.
I choose it, click ADD but it doesn't appear.
I have also tried manually, through the import section of add web parts but this time I get error - "Unable to add selected web part(s). A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type is not registered as safe."
Any ideas as to why it will not show?
regards

Juerg
12/22/2010 17:31 | aapo,
you can either choose to display the user's local date/time (eg. the client computer date/time) or the server's date/time (via the "Use local Date" setting) |

2/14/2011 09:56 | Any chance to get a temporary license key ?

2/27/2011 22:38 | Hi,
When displaying only analog world clocks... how do I change the backgroud colour from red (background coulor doesn't work) and increase the size of the font?
Please let me know if you need a screen shot
Thanks
Mike |
|
Juerg
3/15/2011 17:02 | Mike,
you can change the analog world clock background color via the “Clock Background Color” setting.
The font size can only be controlled indirectly by increasing the “Analog World Clock Size” setting.
|

Wayne
4/25/2011 22:22 | Can the digital time and day be removed from the analog world clocks? Also, can the world clock label be moved to the bottom? |

shahzad
5/13/2011 18:33 | Without turning on the SP Personalization option, can this web part store configuration per user? For exmaple, user A picks City-A and user B picks City-B. Now, everything they come to the site they see their own time based on their choices. |

6/16/2011 16:05 | Is it possible to change the font and font-size for the city names in the world clock? If so, how? |
|
Juerg
6/20/2011 19:31 | Joe, you can apply your own CSS style by adding the following lines to the AppSettings section of your Sharepoint application’s web.config file:
<appSettings>
.
.
<add key="AEDC_WorldClockStyle" value="background-color:#ee9000" />
<add key="AEDC_ClockDateStyle" value="font-family:consolas;font-size:10pt;color:yellow" />
<add key="AEDC_WorldTimeStyle" value="font:12pt Segoe UI;color:white" />

Please note that we just recently added the AEDC_WorldTimeStyle setting, so you need to re-download the Zip file and replace the DLL. |

Abbas
6/28/2011 17:57 | Hi Juerg,
1- Is it possible to change the size of the "Analog clock"?
2- Is it possible that this web part shows the time of the sharepoint server? (not the client time or world time) |
|
Juerg
7/5/2011 12:04 | Abbas, Yes, you can use the „Time display font size“ setting to set the size of the analog clock. No, it is currently not possible to display the time of the Sahrepoint server. |
|

Drew
9/16/2011 23:19 | I'm also inquiring about the DST option. I don't mind writing an update job to refresh the clocklist parameter to manually update the timezones, but now what I'm trying to find out is how Flash is used.
Does this webpart load the Flash resource from Amrein's webserver or is it embedded within the assembly? We were hoping to find a solution that required as little external connectivity as possible and remote-linking a Flash application on a server that we don't control is not going to work for us. |
|
Juerg
9/19/2011 10:38 | Drew,
the Flash SWF file is embedded as a resource within the Web Part assembly. |
|
Drew
10/11/2011 17:07 | Is there any CSS available for the analog world clocks?
What I'm trying to accomplish is to get a series of world clocks that match the styling or design of the primary analog clock. When I saw the CSS properties were available, I was hopeful that I could just create a background image and insert it behind the animated control, but now I see that the AEDC_ style keys appear to only affect the digital clock parts.
So, two-fold, is there any way to get the Clock1-Clock7 designs available for the world clocks, or will there be a way for us to use CSS and adjusted clock sizing to make this work? |
|
Juerg
10/12/2011 18:33 | Drew,
the analog world clock is based on Flash and you only can control the clock size and its background color. There is currently only one design available for the analog world clock. |
|
Drew
10/12/2011 22:06 | Is the Flash source included in the source code package? |
|
Juerg
10/13/2011 14:17 | Drew,
no, it is not. |

"Assemblies that implements ASP.NET Web Parts and are installed into a partially trusted location, such as the bin directory, must be compiled with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute set for import to secceed"
What am I doing wrong? I have tried to drop the dll into the assemby directory, but it seems that the S.O. (Windows 2008 R2) do not permit it.
I am trying to install the freeware version.
Thank you in advance.

We purchased the web part a while ago for our corporate intranet.
We've had a couple of requests to see if we could add a drop down selection where the user can choose which timezone they are interested in. As we have around 14 countries it's not practical to display every one in there as it is. If we could display the 4 main timezones and then have a dropdown where they can select one of the other time zones not being displayed?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks |

we actually plan to add a "personalization" feature to the web part which allows each authenticated user to choose his/her favorite timezones. Please note that this feature will be made available for SP 2010 only. |

Beau
5/9/2012 10:54 | Excellent, any ideas on when the new functionality would be available?
Thanks |

9/10/2012 14:23 | With 3 digital world clocks selected, i cannot get the date display font size to change no matter what i set it to. Does this not work with digital clocks? |
|
Juerg
9/10/2012 15:43 | T,
if you only show the 2 world clocks (by checking the "Show World Clocks only" web part option), then you can control the size of the world clock time font via the web part's "Time display font size" setting.
If you want to contrl the style of the date for the digital world clocks, please add the following line to the appSettings section of your Sharepoint application’s web.config file:
<appSettings>
.
.
<add key="AEDC_WorldClockDateStyle" value="font:10pt arial" />
</appSettings>
and set the font size as needed. |

|
Thomas
9/26/2012 15:04 | Greg,
here is an example for the configuration field "World Clock Locations". This feature is only available in the licensed version:

10/4/2012 13:39 | Hi,I am Trying to install this web part in Sharepoint 2007 and I am unable to do as I am getting an error message:'Unable to add AE Digital Clock Web part"
Please could you help me on this |
|
Alex
10/4/2012 15:58 | Vijay,
did you place the web part DLL manually into the Sharepoint application's BIN folder ?
If yes, can you check if the trust level in your web.config file is set to “WSS_Minimal” ? If so, you will have to set it to “medium” as follows:
<trust level="WSS_Medium" originUrl="" /> |
|
James
10/10/2012 14:11 | How can i get it to display the time for a remote location only.
i.e i want to add the web part to multiple site pages for different site locations and display the local time at that location... or do i need the world clock edition and then pick the country i want |
|
Thomas
10/10/2012 17:39 | James,
yes, you need the world clock edition and then pick the country you want. |
|
Mel
11/5/2012 23:03 | Support for Daylight Savings would be great so that the admin doesn't have to manually make changes to the properties each time the clocks change. Perhaps you could just add another parameter or two for each item in the Work Clock Locations property? |
|
Thomas
11/6/2012 17:07 | Mel,
we added Support for Automatic Daylight Savings Time. Look for "World Clock Locations" configuration at the top of this page. |
|
Rob
11/16/2012 01:19 | I tried the Location/Windows Time Zone Name but I am getting "Expected ')'" error. The string used on 'World Clock Locations' is "New York/Eastern Standard Time" (entered without the quotes) |
|
Thomas
11/16/2012 09:25 | Rob,
you need at least Version 1.1.32 to use this feature. Download it at the top of this page. |
|
Rob
12/12/2012 05:00 | Thanks Thomas, we downloaded the latest version. Some users can see the clock OK with the daylight saving but others cannot see it. Is it because the local setting on their PC? The config used was Denver/Mountain Standard Time; |
|
Thomas
12/12/2012 09:44 | Rob,
the actual time offset for the configured time zone is calculated on the server when you open the page. Then this offset is passed to the client where the clock runs. What exactly some users don't see? |
|
Rob
12/13/2012 04:46 | Thanks Thomas for the reply. I should have mentioned some users see the clock without the daylight saving. E.g. from location the clock shows 10:00 PM Denver, whilst from other location it shows 09:00 PM Denver. |
|
Thomas
12/13/2012 14:49 | Rob,
please enter "trace" into the miscellaneous web part configuration field "Header Text" and send me the outcome from the user which gets the wrong time. And send also a screen shot of the miscellaneous web part configuration to [email protected]. |

Sharepoint 2013

|
Juerg
12/18/2012 10:42 | Sharepoint 2013,
the Digital Clock web part is actually compatible with SP 2013.
We have now added the install2013.bat file to let you install the web part on Sharepoint 2013 |
|
Martin
1/3/2013 20:43 | Hi. We are using the licensed version of the Digital Clock. Are there any options to change the style of the clock containers? Specifically, we would like to do things like round the corners and add a border color. Thank you. |
|
Juerg
1/4/2013 13:47 | Martin,
we have now added the new .AEDCWorldClocks (table containing the world clocks) and .AEDCWorldClock (table cells containing the world clocks) CSS classes to easy styling of the world clock cells.
Example:
.AEDCWorldClocks {border-collapse:separate !important;border-spacing:3px}
.AEDCWorldClock {border:1px solid white !important}
You can either add the styles to your Sharepoint stylesheet or directly inject it via the web part’s “Header Text” setting as follows:
<style>
.AEDCWorldClocks {border-collapse:separate !important;border-spacing:3px}
.AEDCWorldClock {border:1px solid white !important}
</style>
Please re-download the updated Zip file, extract the WSP file and then update the web part solution. |

Yury
1/25/2013 20:11 | We'v got your web part "World Clock" and I am just wondering if the space between the city zones and height around the World Clock box can be adjusted? At the moment, the cities are too close to the box boarders and the height is not aligned with the other web part that we have on the page... Please, advice if this is possible.. |
|
Juerg
1/26/2013 14:22 | Yury,
to adjust the overall height of the clock, please add the following to the web part’s “Clock Background Color” setting:
#ffffff;padding-top:30px;padding-bottom:30px
(adjust the top and bottom padding accordingly)
To adjust the space around the city zones, please insert the following into the web part’s “Header Text” setting:
<style>.AEDCWorldClock {padding:5px}</style> |

5/14/2013 14:53 | We have the licensed clock web part v1.1.30 but Automatic Daylight Savings Time does not work with World Clock Locations set to London/Greenwich Standard Time
I'm having to manually change it to London/1 for British Summer Time
Am I doing something wrong?

Juerg
5/14/2013 14:54 | John,
please download the most recent version from our web site and then update the web part (we added the daylight savings feature with version 1.1.31). |

John
5/21/2013 12:38 | What's the recommended way of upgrading the Web Clock Part? (v 1.1.30 to 1.1.35) Do I just repeat the install process or do I have to retract the existing solution before running the install process again? |

6/11/2013 15:47 | How do you get the world clock locations centered? |
|
Juerg
6/11/2013 16:40 | Kathy,
the left-align seems to be caused by your custom CSS stylesheet.
You also can force the centering by adding the following line to your CSS file to override your default setting for table cells:
.AEDCWorldClock {text-align:center !important} |
|
MikeZz
8/8/2013 19:06 | Is there a way to compress the Date on the world clock view?
We have cases where we have 4-8 global clocks side by side and want to show dates, but the full length date makes it to wide to fit on one row.
I was hoping there are options besides font such as:
"Aug 1" or "Sunday" or even "Today" or "Tomorrow" (but that might be to complex of coding).
Having the first to options would be really helpful!
Best Regards, |
|
Juerg
8/9/2013 20:01 | MikeZz,
you actually can uncheck the web part's "Show World Clock Day of Week" setting to only display the date in compressed format:

Sydney/+10 and Sydney/AUS Eastern Standard Time.
Thanks,

We have version 1.1.35 installed and I am trying to get the look you have under Show World Day of Week.
However, when I hit Apply or Ok, I see the correct Date flash for a second, then it disappears.
Any Suggestions?
Here are my settings:
I've "checked" the following options:
"Use AM/PM Time"
Time Font = 15 in Blue
Date Font = 46 in Gray
World Clock Locations: Shanghai/China Standard Time;Detroit/Eastern Standard Time;ASG/Central Europe Standard Time

1/21/2014 11:06 | Michal,
can you quickly check the web part’s version number by opening the web part’s tool pane and looking it up at the top ?
If your version is 1.1.31 or lower, please update to the current version (1.1.36) since versions older than 1.1.31 do not yet support the literal time zone option. |

please download the „Office365/Sandboxed solution, extract the WSP file and then go to “Site Settings/Web Designer Galleries/Solutions” in your Sharepoint Online site, upload the file to the Solution Gallery and then activate the solution.
You now can start using the web part. |

MikeZz
1/28/2014 15:22 | Hi Juerg,
First, this part is the most popular one of your we use, people love it!
My question is more sharepoint in general and not directly related to your part functioning... but I can't find the right thing to google to get the answer. Any help is greatly appreciated if you know the answer.
We have a lot of global sites so Time reference is pretty important. For instance a big question is always "Why is the time on the file modifications different than the real local time" - when the server farm is located in a different time zone.
Do you know of a good article or reference that can explain how time is shown and what site, collection and browser settings change the displayed time?
Just curious, Thanks! |
|
Mike
3/17/2014 14:43 | Hi Juerg
Do you have a list of all possible 'add key' entries that can be added to the web.config?
The one in particular I'm looking for is the ability to globally set things like the world clock timezones. The more things we can set centrally would save allot of work configuring each clock (-; |
|
Rob Pawlikowski
3/17/2014 22:17 | I have a collection of pages for specific locations in the world. I would like to have the ability to define the time zone for the primary clock display (as opposed to the world clocks). Is this possible? |
|
Juerg
3/18/2014 10:35 | Mike,
it is currently not possible to set the web part’s properties „globally“ via an appSetting key in the web.config file.
However, you can place a web part on a page, configure it as needed and the export it. You then can re-upload the .webpart file into the Sharepoint web part gallery. When users now insert the web part, it already will be pre-configured. |
|
Juerg
3/18/2014 10:55 | Rob,
to use the primary clock as a world clock, you will need to manually set the web part’s “Digital Clock Offset” setting (in minutes) to adjust the time displayed.
However, this offset is not an offset relative to UTC, but relative to the user’s local time, so this would only work if all users are located in the same time zone. |

5/14/2014 14:49 | How I can use the Analog Clock Designs for the world clock?!
Also,how I can change the analog clock size?it seems it has a fixed width of 120*120? |
|
Juerg
5/14/2014 16:23 | Ammar,
you can set the size of the analog world clocks via the web part’s “Analog World Clock Size” setting (to be set in pixels).
There is one more analog world clock design available (besides the default one and the Silverlight based design):
Please send us a note if you would like to use the „custom“ design and then also indicate if you are using Sharepoint 2007, 2010 or 2013. |

assuming that you are on either SP2010 or SP2013, please download the "Deployment Instructions for SP2010/2013" at the top of this page.
Navigate to "System Settings/Manage farm solutions" (as opposed to "Operations/Solutin Management" which refers to SP2007). |

Thanks for any help |
|
Juerg
7/29/2014 18:20 | MikeZz,
only the „Silverlight“ world clock does not have a seconds hand:
However, this option requires Microsoft Silverlight to be installed on the client (the web part prompts the user to install it if not present). |

But when I select "analog Clock Design" eg. Clock3 or Clock 6
I dont see any effect, it looks same for all design.
Waiting for your help. Thanks |
|
Juerg
2/11/2015 12:04 | PK,
please note that the clock designs can only be applied to the main clock, but not the world clocks.
However, there is one alternate world clock design available (see my post dating from May 14, 2014) |

9/10/2015 15:21 | I don't see this anywhere so I will ask. Does this webpart have or are there plans to add a search feature where someone could search for the time in a location that is not already displayed? |
|
Juerg
9/12/2015 15:09 | Juli,
the web part actually does not allow the user to enter a location.
However, it can be connected to a Filter web part which allows it to receive the location via the web part connection.
The problem is that we currently do not have a Filter web part which would automatically convert a location (as eg. “Los Angeles”) to a time zone.
A workaround would be to use a Sharepoint list to store a selection of cities as shown below:
You could then either directly connect the list to the clock or use our Filter web part to present the locations in the form of a dropdown box.
We also could create a Filter web part which would automatically convert a location to a time zone. |

Jhun
9/22/2015 03:04 | How do I make the clock side by side and not on top of each other. I got two clocks for now, Manila and California. I want CA then MNL on the right.
See that part in Amrein where it says Show World Clocks only then there is a green clock shown, I wish to have something like that with two timezones only. Also, is there a way to remove the border? right now, I see the gray border, I can't seem to remove even if it set the webpart to Title Only or None. need advice please. |
|
Juerg
9/24/2015 15:00 | Jhun,
to place the world clocks side by side, please make sure not to enter any "*" characters in the "World Clock Locations" setting (the "*" character is used to insert line breaks).
To get rid of the gray border, please enter a color into the web part's "Clock Background Color" setting, as for example white |

to style the world clock cities, please add the below CSS to the web part's "Options" setting:
wclockdatestyle=font-size:15pt;color:dodgerblue
PLease note that there are currently only two analog world clock designs ("Analog" and "Silverlight"). |

11/20/2015 21:26 | Juerg, I was wondering what your settings were for the screenshot on Oct 13, 2015?
It seems like when I put a font size in Time display font size, it controls both Time and Date. Also, I am getting the Date below the Time.
Note I also have multiple clocks so the City shows up in a very small font at the top of the box. |

Juerg
11/23/2015 11:52 | Mike,
please use the below settings:
Clock Background Color:
Cornflowerblue
Options:
dateformat=D|datestyle=font-size:8pt;color:yellow|timestyle=text-align:center;font:27pt Segoe UI Semilight;color:white;line-height:25pt|seconds=0 |

11/23/2015 14:16 | Hi,
is there a way to separte the Background Colors on the actual time? We use the Webpart to Show the diffrent times for diffrent Offices around the world. Now we want to use a "dark" Background for the night and a light Background for the day.
Thanks |
|
Juerg
11/23/2015 19:25 | Denis,
you can use the „daytime“ and „nightcolors“ options (to be entered into the web part’s “Options” setting) to set the daytime range and the background and foreground colors for the locations that currently are in the night period:
Example:
daytime=6-18|nightcolors=gold,gray |

|
Juerg
3/7/2016 11:08 | kapil,
the web part license is a one-time (non-recurring) license (eg. “life time”).
BTW, does your non-delivery message indicate the reason why the mail is bouncing back ? |

kapil
3/7/2016 11:18 | One more Question,
Can I show time of South Africa(Cape Town), United States(Santa Clara),United States(New York City) in a single web part.
Secondly if I have to use this webpart twice in my sharepoint page can I do it with single licensee.
I am even not able to reply to your email .. this is the message i am getting

yes, you can configure the web part to display multiple locations by entering the below into the web part’s “World Clock Locations” setting:
Cape Town/South Africa Standard Time;Santa Clara/Pacific Standard Time;New York/Eastern Standard Time
You can actually place the web part on as many pages as needed (so you do not need a license for each instance). |

4/26/2016 22:39 | Is it possible to transpose the digital clock over a background image? I'd love to create a Work Clock that is transposed over a map of the world. Thanks!

Juerg
4/27/2016 11:08 | Gregg,
to add a background image, please apply the below CSS style (by entering it into the web part’s “Options” setting):

5/13/2016 09:41 | Hi,
I have the licenced version of Amrein clock. I need an help.. I am only showing the world clock ( analog). I have few questions
1) Can I change the clock display if I don’t want to use Silverlight.
2) How can I change background color.
3) How can I increase font of date.
|
|
Juerg
5/24/2016 19:42 | Kapil,
1. No, this is currently not possible
2. You can change the analog world clock background color by entering a color into the web part’ s ”Clock background color” setting.
3. Only when you increase the overall size of the analog clocks via the “Analog World Clock Size” setting.
However, we will soon add support for HTML 5 analog clocks in the web part’s next major release (although this will require a modern browser with HTML 5 support). |

8/12/2016 07:20 | Hi, my customers appreciates this web part very much and installed this sandbox solution in 100 site collections of his O365 tenant. Unfortunately it consists of a web part and coded sandbox solutions will be disabled by the end of August. Are you working on a new version of this web part?
Kind regards,

8/12/2016 11:29 | Karine,
As you already know, Microsoft just announced to stop supporting “sandboxed” web parts for Office365 by the end of this month (which will render all our “Office365” web parts useless).
We are currently in the process of re-creating our Office365 web parts using the new “client web part” model. However, this process will take several weeks, so the web parts will become available one by one over the course of the coming weeks. This includes the Digital Clock web part.
Please also note that the current web part instances will be lost, so you will have to either manually replace each web part instance by the corresponding Add-In (or come up with a suitable PowerShell script to automate the provisioning). |

10/13/2016 14:19 | The Time Zone list that is referenced in the instruction portion of this webpart is no longer an active page. It states that it is no longer being maintained and is only there for Archival purposes. If there are other time zones or ones are modified or added, this page will not provide that information.
You might want to find a page reference that is actively being maintained such as this page here: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/

1/21/2017 02:39 | Hello Juerg - I'm not getting the "ellipses" on the Office365 version of AE Digital Clock. I have been successfully using AEListView365, and that works fine, but no matter how many times I refresh the page, AEDigitalClock365 will not show the ellipses. |
|
Raphael
1/23/2017 10:55 | Hello Jeff,
Which version of the AE Digital Clock do you have?
You can verify it in "Site Settings, Site collection features, AE Digital Clock Web Part". The description should end with [v3.0.3]. This is the actual verison.
Depending on migrating to cloudflare, it could be that the scripts where not available during the Weekend. Please just press "ctrl + F5" to force getting the new scripts loaded. |

Jeff
1/25/2017 18:32 | Raphael: I think you must be correct, because it is now working, and I didn't change anything! Yay!

3/29/2017 06:49 | I have the "use local date" option checked, and it works fine. if I then want to show the date on a single line, using the dateformat=D|seconds=0|wclockdatestyle=font-size:6pt Options setting, the "Use local date" setting is ignored, and it reverts to showing site date. Is there a setting that allows it to respect local time setting when using date format=D? |
|
Juerg
4/4/2017 20:00 | Frank,
the combination of the “dateformat” option with the “Use local date” setting was actually added with version 1.1.52 in April 2016, so please update the web part. |

Mike
4/13/2017 17:02 | Is there a way to hide the preceding zero on the AM times when using a 12 hour clock? It appears to hide the zero on PM times but not on AM times. |
|
Juerg
4/19/2017 11:24 | Mike,
we have now added the new „leadingzero“ option (to be added to the web part’s “Options” setting) to suppress the leading zero when using the AM/PM format:
leadingzero=0
Please re-download the updated Zip file, extract the WSP file and then update the web part solution. |

5/2/2017 17:31 | I added a Digital Clock Web Part for Office365 Sharepoint Online/Office365. While the clock is working smoothly, it does not size with the page and wording overlaps on smaller screens. I attempted to add the asterisk (*) to create line breaks, but it does not work as mentioned in the comments. When adding the asterisk (*) it just adds an asterisk (*) to the nearest time zone name. Welcome guidance on how to modify.
Thanks,
Adam |

10/12/2017 18:24 | Hi Guys,
I have a customer using the clock on O365, at some point the display of the additional world clocks stopped working, the locations are set to:
Mexico|America/Mexico_City;California|America/Tijuana; Slovakia|Europe/Bratislava;Houston|CST6CDT
I can see that the containers for the clocks are being rendered but they are unpopulated.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks

10/13/2017 14:23 | I tried responding by email to Raphael and the support address but both were rejected as spam...
It looks like the issue is occurring because we are loading the moment library elsewhere without the additional timezone JS includes. I can see that your code is catching the lack of moment().tz and trying to load the scripts but it doesn't resolve it.
Have you experienced this scenario before? And if so, could you recommend an approach to resolve?
Many Thanks
Adrian |

Raphael
10/13/2017 16:06 | Adrian,
yes we also had this issue with the Script Editor WebPart.
This should be resolved with the new Version.
Are you using the SPFx version as well?
http://amrein.com/office365/home/digital-clock/

Adrian
10/13/2017 18:45 | Raphael - whoops! Removing the old script editor version and replacing with the SPFx version resolved the issue - many thanks for your help!

the TimeZone lookup page maintained by Microsoft seems to be the only page in their online documentation that lists all the time zones supported by Windows. In case anyone finds a more recent document, please send us a note. |

Juerg
7/5/2019 12:19 | Renate,
you seem to have purchased the „on-premise“ version of the web part but actually are on Office 365.
Please thus rather use the license key we now sent you by e-mail.
Please note that the Office 365 version does not support analog clocks.
We’ll check if we add this option to the web part’s next major release. |

are you referring to the Office 365 version or the „on-premise” version ?
Also, do you want to display the world clocks to the left of the main (local) clock ? |

11/20/2019 14:22 | Hi Juerg
We use the Analog "Clock 1" and "Digital Wordclocks" like:
NYC/Eastern Standard Time; LDN/GMT Standard Time; HKG/China Standard Time; TYO/Tokyo Standard Time
Since Flash is gone and Silverlight isn't supported in Chrome, we would like to have a Javascript Clock. Do you have this already implemented? Do we need a new Version and License? |
|
Juerg
11/25/2019 15:56 | Phil,
the current version does not yet support HTML 5 based clocks, but we’ll add this feature to the web part’s next release (due in January 2020). |

Iran
1/19/2024 13:13 | Is it possible for the clock to show date according to the Site Settings > Regional Settings > Locale that is selected? For example, if the locale is different, SharePoint will normally use the locale's month names and days of week. |
|
Juerg
1/19/2024 14:28 | Iran,
this also depends on the "Site Settings/Language Settings".
If you for example use "Arab" as the default language but also specify say "English" as your alternate language, then the month and day names are displayed in English. |
|
Ira
1/19/2024 18:31 | Thanks. I tried all combinations in the Regional Settings.
The locale as Persian, the calendar as Gregorian, alternate calendar none. Didn't change.
The locale as Persian, the calendar as Hijri, alternate calendar none. Didn't change.
The locale as Persian, the calendar as Gregorian, alternate calendar Hijri. Didn't change.
Also, in the Event Manager webpart, when locale is Persian, calendar is Gregorian, it shows the month correctly as the Perisan calendar should and also the weekdays are in Persian. Which is good.
Just wondering, how this could apply to the Digital Clock webpart. |
