Timezones are hard. This bot sits in your server's member list (the sidebar on the right) and displays the time and date for your community. It's that simple.
-
Clone this repository
-
Run the following command
$ npm install-
Copy
config/bot.js.templatetoconfig/bot.js -
Create a New App here on the Discord Developers Dashboard
- Under the bot section, find the 'token', you'll need this in the next step
-
Insert the token you acquired in 4 to the
config/bot.jsfile. Never share this token with anyone -
Change any other configuration options in
config/bot.jsas you see fit. -
That's it! It's all configured. Now to run it
$ npm run botOnce launched, the bot can be invited to (and configured for) as many servers as you like!
-
Go back to your app here on the Discord Developers Dashboard
-
Select your app, find the client ID and copy it
-
Append the client ID from step 2 onto the very end of the following URL
- https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?scope=bot&permissions=67177536&client_id=
- This link can safely be shared with any other server admins that want to add your bot to their own server
- The permissions the bot requests are the ONLY ones that it requires (it especially needs to be able to edit its own nickname!)
- By default, the bot can only see, read, and appear in channels that @everyone has access to - meaning if you want to be able to see it in a staff/admin/moderator channel, you will have to manually add those permissions to the bot in your server
-
Copy the URL and open it in a new browser tab
-
Select the server and click 'Authorize'
-
That's the basic part done! Now go to your server and you should see your bot in the user list
-
Run the
timecommand with the prefix set in the config (default is?time) and follow the instructions -
You're all set! Now you never have to worry about having to explain what "7PM CST" is to Europeans, or vice versa
