BLOCK WITH TIME AND DATE STAMP?

Post by WatsonGill »

Is there an existing block displaying a continuously visible time and date stamp ?
If not, any pointers / outline suggestions as to how to create one would be welcome
Thank you

There is not a pre-built date/time block yet, but it's something we want to build out.

A somewhat convoluted process would be that you could setup a time service, save it to a feed, and then use that feed to display the time with a text block.

Time service setup here:
