A requirement has been issued to display the current server Date and time under the username on the right left corner of the SharePoint application. Can anyone advice on how I can do this ?

Thanks

EDIT

i added the following currentdate Div tag to my master page below the welcome div:-

<div id="suiteBarRight">
<SharePoint:AjaxDelta runat="server" id="DeltaSuiteBarRight" CssClass="ms-core-deltaSuiteBarRight" BlockElement="true">
<div id="welcomeMenuBox">
<wssuc:Welcome id="IdWelcome" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
  <div id="currentdate"></div>

Then i added a Script editor web part to my page as follow:-

<script type= "text/javascript">
document.getElementById("currentdate").innerHTML = formatAMPM();

function formatAMPM() {
var date = new Date();
var hours = date.getHours();
var days = date.getDay(); 
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
hours = hours % 12;
hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
var strTime = date ;
return strTime;
}
</script>

but the result is that the date will be shown very close to the user name on IE as follow:-

while it will be out of the layout on Firefox as follow:-

any idea how i can improve the layout for the date?

thanks

  • You do know that this will display the client date, not the server date, right?

What do you mean by Server Data? and Why would you need the time below the user's info!
