Point of note here, I do have a JScript Script File that does this, and i have permission from the author to use it, but i upload it to the template, then as i did on my main website that is html of course, i put this in the overall header: <script></script>
<SCRIPT>TodayAsStarDate();</SCRIPT> and nothing. What am i doing wrong?

Hi

Where is the file Stardate.js located in your site...?

As this may not have the path correctly set up to it....with out more info it is kinda hard to see otherwise...

I place the js file in the template folder, and tried to enter the code in the overall header

This is what the js script looks like:

hi

If you have placed the js file in your template folder you need to edit the code in your overall_header.tpl file so it follows the correct path...

change

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<script></script><SCRIPT>TodayAsStarDate();</SCRIPT>

to

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<script></script><SCRIPT>TodayAsStarDate();</SCRIPT>

let me know...

Thanks i will give it ago, my forum is down at the moment because the yahoo database server is down. It has been over 24 hours since i emailed them last, they are useless. I will let you know how this works. Thanks for your help <img>

[krillmeed]

Sir you are a star, works like a dream, i have added it into the index body of each template, apart from the stardate, we also have GMT time which comes in handy for our weekly chat sessions, now no one has to convert. By the way if anyone want this little addon feel free to email me. Looks rather good <img>
