It can be added to course pages, activities, and the Moodle dashboard. Features -------- [](#features) - **Manual mode** — pick any timezones from the full IANA timezone list to display, per block instance. - **Automatic mode** — instead of a fixed list, the block displays every distinct timezone used by users enrolled in a course. On a course page this defaults to that course; anywhere else (e.g. the dashboard) you can explicitly choose the source course. - Clocks update live in the browser (no page refresh) and correctly handle daylight saving time for named timezones. - "Show date" can be restricted to "Only when different", so a timezone's date only appears when it differs from the viewing user's own date. - Per-instance display options: 24-hour vs 12-hour format, seconds, date, a sun/moon day-night icon underneath each timezone's name (day/night boundary hours configurable site-wide), and a waking-hours background colour (pink overnight, yellow at the morning/evening transition, green during the day — boundary hours also configurable site-wide). - Timezones are sorted chronologically by their current local date and time, as if every clock were read at the same instant — ascending or descending, per block instance. Clocks that currently share the same UTC offset are ordered alphabetically by name. - Optionally show each timezone's current UTC offset (e.g. "UTC+9") next to its name. - Multiple instances of the block can be added to the same page. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Copy (or check out) this plugin into `blocks/worldclock` in your Moodle installation, then visit *Site administration > Notifications* to complete the install. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Add the block to a course page or the dashboard, then use the block's *Configure* action to choose: - **Block title** — optional override of the default title. - **Timezones to display** — *Selected timezones* (manual list) or *All timezones of users enrolled in a course* (automatic). - **Course** — only used in automatic mode; the course whose enrolled users' timezones should be shown. Leave blank to use the course the block is currently displayed on. - **Timezones** — only used in manual mode; the fixed list of timezones to show. - **Sort order** — *Ascending* or *Descending* chronological order. - **Show UTC offset**, **Use 24-hour time format**, **Show seconds**, **Show date** (with an **Only when different** sub-setting), **Show day/night icon**, **Colour background by time of day** — display options. In automatic mode, the viewing user must have the `moodle/course:viewparticipants` capability in the source course or the block will show nothing. ### Site administration settings [](#site-administration-settings) Under *Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > World clock*: - The waking-hours background boundary hours (night/morning/day/evening start) apply to every block instance that has **Colour background by time of day** enabled. - **Icon day start** / **Icon night start** control the boundary hours for the sun/moon day-night icon (defaults to 6am/6pm), for every block instance that has **Show day/night icon** enabled. Continuous integration ---------------------- [](#continuous-integration) A GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) runs the [moodle-plugin-ci](https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-plugin-ci) test suite against Moodle 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, using every PHP version each branch actually supports (5.0/5.1: PHP 8.2-8.4; 5.2: PHP 8.3-8.4, since Moodle 5.2 raises its minimum PHP requirement to 8.3), crossed with both Postgres and MariaDB. Privacy ------- [](#privacy) The block only stores the configuration chosen by whoever added it (a title, a mode, and a list of timezones or a course id). In automatic mode it reads, but never stores, the timezone field of enrolled users purely to render the block for the current request. See `classes/privacy/provider.php`. Support ------- [](#support) Report issues to the plugin maintainer. ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity0 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity35 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
