I did this

{
  module: "clock",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    timezone: 'Etc/GMT+5.30'
  }
}

As my time zone is GMT+5.30
but it returned error

sdetweil

{
module: “clock”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
timezone: ‘Etc/GMT+5.30’
}
}

is that the LAST module in the list, or ???

maybe u need a comma after the last }

also, watch out on single quotes… sometimes you get the MS WORD format of the quote, which is NOT the right one…

change those to double quotes

sdetweil

you can also use https://www.jslint.com/
to check the syntax of the config file…

copy/paste it in and at the bottom check boxes for
long lines
single quotes
whitepsace mess

the press jslint

u may have to remove the last ‘,’ (comma), before ]

@sdetweil is correct. You need the comma after the closing bracket, as such }, With that correction, the config syntax is satisfied and the module will run. However, it does generate this error in the dev console.

Moment Timezone has no data for Etc/GMT+5.30.

Please see this for for information.
https://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/data-formats/packed-format/

And this list. Perhaps you can find an appropriate timezone within this list.

I can tell you that those screenshots are impossible for me to read. Please post your code in a code block, instead of a screenshot, so that it can be easily read by everyone.
