function initDynamicCurrentTime() {
const defaultTimezone = "Europe/Amsterdam";
// Helper function to format numbers with leading zero
const formatNumber = (number) => number.toString().padStart(2, '0');
// Function to create a time formatter with the correct timezone
const createFormatter = (timezone) => {
return new Intl.DateTimeFormat([], {
timeZone: timezone,
timeZoneName: 'short',
hour: '2-digit',
minute: '2-digit',
second: '2-digit',
hour12: false, // Optional: Remove to match your simpler script
});
};
// Function to parse the formatted string into parts
const parseFormattedTime = (formattedDateTime) => {
const match = formattedDateTime.match(/(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)\s*([\w+]+)/);
if (match) {
return {
hours: match[1],
minutes: match[2],
seconds: match[3],
timezone: match[4], // Handles both GMT+X and CET cases
};
}
return null;
};
// Function to update the time for all elements
const updateTime = () => {
document.querySelectorAll('[data-current-time]').forEach((element) => {
const timezone = element.getAttribute('data-current-time') || defaultTimezone;
const formatter = createFormatter(timezone);
const now = new Date();
const formattedDateTime = formatter.format(now);
const timeParts = parseFormattedTime(formattedDateTime);
if (timeParts) {
const {
hours,
minutes,
seconds,
timezone
} = timeParts;
// Update child elements if they exist
const hoursElem = element.querySelector('[data-current-time-hours]');
const minutesElem = element.querySelector('[data-current-time-minutes]');
const secondsElem = element.querySelector('[data-current-time-seconds]');
const timezoneElem = element.querySelector('[data-current-time-timezone]');
if (hoursElem) hoursElem.textContent = hours;
if (minutesElem) minutesElem.textContent = minutes;
if (secondsElem) secondsElem.textContent = seconds;
if (timezoneElem) timezoneElem.textContent = timezone;
}
});
};
// Initial update and interval for subsequent updates
updateTime();
setInterval(updateTime, 1000);
}
// Initialize Dynamic Current Time
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
initDynamicCurrentTime();

Custom CSS in Adlis Smart
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Adlis Smart? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
Implementation
Default
When no timezone is added to the [data-current-time] data attribute it will get the timezone defined in the script, as defaut: Europe/Amsterdam
Adding Timezone
You can add a timezone by hand by passing it in the [data-current-time="Europe/Amsterdam"] attribute
Show less information
It's possible to remove the seconds or timezone dindication. The script will still work fine.
List with timezones
You can find a full list with timezone (TZ Identifier) options on Wikipedia
Examples:
- Africa/Lagos
- America/New_York
- Asia/Tel_Aviv
- Australia/West
