Hooking TimeManagerClockButton

[sacrife]

Is there a way for me to hook the TimeManagerClockButton and add some text to it? I'm trying to add the date aswell as the time with seconds.

date("%d/%m - %H:%M:%S")

[p3lim]

local addon = CreateFrame('Frame')
addon:RegisterEvent('ADDON_LOADED')
addon:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event, name)
    if(name ~= 'Blizzard_TimeManager') then return end

    TimeManager_UpdateTimeTicker = function()
        TimeManagerFrameTicker:SetText(date('%d/%m - %H:%M:%S'))
    end
end)

Nothing happens so far. What am I misunderstanding?

----------------------------------
-- Time
----------------------------------
if(not IsAddOnLoaded('Blizzard_TimeManager')) then
  LoadAddOn('Blizzard_TimeManager')
end

local clockFrame, clockTime = TimeManagerClockButton:GetRegions()
clockFrame:Hide()
clockTime:SetFontObject(SystemFont_Tiny)
    if(CalendarGetNumPendingInvites() > 0) then
		clockTime:SetTextColor(0, 1, 0)
	else
		clockTime:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
    end
TimeManagerClockButton:SetPoint("BOTTOM", Minimap, 0, 16)
TimeManagerClockButton:SetHeight(8)
TimeManagerClockButton:SetWidth(30)

local addon = CreateFrame('Frame')
addon:RegisterEvent('ADDON_LOADED')
addon:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event, name)
    if(name ~= 'Blizzard_TimeManager') then return end
        TimeManager_UpdateTimeTicker = function()
        TimeManagerFrameTicker:SetText(date('%d/%m - %H:%M:%S'))
    end
end)

Well, you load the 'Blizzard_TimeManager at the beginning of your file, so there is no chance an ADDON_LOADED could fire for it after that code.

Either:
1. place your "addon"-part with the event-function before you call LoadAddOn()
2. remove the event-part and just hook the TimeManager_UpdateTimeTicker func
3. move all your code for the timeManager in the event-function and remove LoadAddOn(), so it gets called when the timeManager is loaded by Blizz.

I tried all your suggestion, still nothing happens.

Suggestion 3:

----------------------------------
-- Time
----------------------------------

local addon = CreateFrame('Frame')
addon:RegisterEvent('ADDON_LOADED')
addon:SetScript('OnEvent', function(self, event, name)
    if(name ~= 'Blizzard_TimeManager') then return end
        local clockFrame, clockTime = TimeManagerClockButton:GetRegions()
        clockFrame:Hide()
        clockTime:SetFontObject(SystemFont_Tiny)
            if(CalendarGetNumPendingInvites() > 0) then
                clockTime:SetTextColor(0, 1, 0)
            else
                clockTime:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)
            end
        TimeManagerClockButton:SetPoint("BOTTOM", Minimap, 0, 16)
        TimeManagerClockButton:SetHeight(8)
        TimeManagerClockButton:SetWidth(30)
        TimeManager_UpdateTimeTicker = function()
        TimeManagerFrameTicker:SetText(date('%d/%m - %H:%M:%S'))
    end
end)

I don't know anything about the timeManager-frame, so I can't say if the code is working correctly, apart from syntax errors. (but I trust p3lim on that one )

Does the code in the event-function is called at all? Please check with a print() inside of it - or report whether your clock-modifications are working.
If not, maybe the timeManager-frame is already loaded, but then solution 2) should work.
