Time read script
Quick win. Add an optional time read script to Playit Cartwall to a presenter can read the time off screen. Top 3/4 of the screen is tiles. 1/4 full width at the bottom is the time read script. Enable or disable in settings. Also include an offset value. Currently we have PlayIt Cartwall window sized to the 3/4 and a web browser window sized to the bottom 1/4 of screen. It runs on a touchscreen. The code for the time read is: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <style> body { background-color: #20292F; } #time { color: #ffffff; text-align: center; font-size: 20pt; font-family: Arial; margin-top: 0px; } #label { color: #ffffff; text-align: center; font-size: 42pt; font-family: Arial; margin-top: 0px; } </style> <script> function startTime() { var today = new Date(); var delay = new Date(); delay.setSeconds(delay.getSeconds() + 30) var h = delay.getHours(); var m = delay.getMinutes(); var s = delay.getSeconds(); document.getElementById('time').innerHTML = formatAMPM(today); document.getElementById('label').innerHTML = convertNumberToName(h,m); setTimeout(startTime,100); } function checkTime(i) { if (i < 10) { i = "0" + i; } return i; } function formatAMPM(date) { var hours = date.getHours(); var minutes = date.getMinutes(); var seconds = date.getSeconds(); var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM'; hours = hours % 12; hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12' hours = hours < 10 ? '0'+hours : hours; minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes; seconds = seconds < 10 ? '0'+seconds : seconds; var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds + ' ' + ampm; return strTime; } function convertHourToName(num) { if (num > 12) { num -= 12; } return convertNumberToName(num); } function convertNumberToName(hh,mm) { var h, result; var labels = ["Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen","Fourteen","Fifteen","Sixteen", "Seventeen","Eighteen","Nineteen","Twenty", "Twenty-One", "Twenty-Two","Twenty-Three", "Twenty-Four","Twenty-Five","Twenty-Six","Twenty-Seven","Twenty-Eight","Twenty-Nine"]; h = hh; n = hh + 1; result = ""; if (h > 12) { h = h - 12; } if (n > 12) { n = n - 12; } if (hh==0 && mm==0){ return "Midnight"; } if (hh==12 && mm==0){ return "Midday"; } if (mm == 15){ return "Quarter past " + labels[h]; } if (mm == 45){ return "Quarter to " + labels[h]; } if (mm == 0) { return labels[h] + " O'Clock"; } if (mm == 30){ return "Half past " + labels[h]; } if (mm == 1){ return labels[mm] + " past " + labels[h]; } if (mm > 1 && mm < 30){ return labels[mm] + " past " + labels[h]; } if (mm == 59){ return labels[60 - mm] + " to " + labels[n]; } if (mm > 30){ return labels[60 - mm] + " to " + labels[n]; } return result; } </script> </head> <body onload="startTime()"> <div id="time"></div> <div id="label"></div> </body> </html>

Another suggestion on the forums was to simply embed a HTML area that can load any web page configured in the settings, either from local disk C:\myfile.html or from a remote web page example.org/myfile.php then the user can display any content they want into this area.
