[Bounce]

Interesting ..

*Clicks Installed*

[Nutz]

Thanks.

Wonder is there is much call for this to be a user option in the user cp? Or are you all ok forcing your members to show there TZ? ;)

[rjmjr69]

nice. There is a mod out there called World Times. I have that installed will this be a problem to install along side?

[bashy]

Cheerz Nutz, hope this 1 installs better than i did with ya other version (i was new then :o) will try it tonight when i get home :)

[Hornstar]

[Subah]

[Nutz]

Hey mike,
If you look at the screenshot you can see that this adds an image showing the users timezone, rather than just text :)

Thanks,
Mat

[abdulla1]

[HeRmAn'S]

(http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:%20vborg_doinstall%28148338,true%29)

[InfidelMatt]

Very cool, but is there any way to modify the colors of the image? Blue and green don't really match my site very well and I'd like to customize it a bit.

ETA: Nevermind, downloaded it and answered my own question. Thanks! Will install after changing colors!

[Nutz]

Hi matt,
The images used to make it can be found in the 'gmti' folder.. 32 of them, you can edit them to your hearts content :)

Thanks,
Mat

VB 3.6.7
Installed and working great :up

[Stifmeister2]

Nice! :)

[MThornback]

I got the 3.5 version working fine on 3.6, what if anything has changed?

[Mrdby]

Demo Anybody?

[rjmjr69]

Nutz any answer?

[rjmjr69]

Works fine with World Time Zones.... Thanks for the answer

How do you move it to the right side of the window like your screen shot shows? Mines on the left

[ReQueM]

Very nice... Thanx

Just the template changes.. you should be fine.

The instructions on how to replace the usergroups with the map 'move it to the right' can be found in the 'Installation.txt' under the 'PS: This is the template edit to do if you want to replace the 'usergroups' area in the profile.' hidden away at the bottom :)

What if we want it on the right below the usergroups section, instead of replacing the usergroups section?

[Nutz]

Bottom right you mean? would require something on the bottom left, unless your into big empty gaps :)

Thanks,
Mat

[Taipa]

Thanks,

Yeah, bottom right. :)
Right now I have a big empty gap (on the bottom right) because the left column is longer than the right column. On my forum, moving the timezones to the right column would even up the two sides and eliminate the big empty gap.

Thank you! :D
That's just perfect! ^_^

[bongwater]

works flawlessly on my 3.6.7

[Alibass]

Nice hack, thanks! *Installed*

[BadgerDog]

Installed on v3.6.7PL1.... :)

Works great (replaced usergroup area)... :up:

Thank you...

[deezelpope]

I did the same thing...:) Looks great!!:up:

[BadgerDog]

Ok, got a bit of a problem....

Had a user from Newfoundland.... GMT -3.30 send an email to me. He's not getting the map display, but rather the classic RED X that the file is not there. I checked his display and the RED X points to this filename, stored under directory GMTI off of the root.

http://www.milsurps.com/gmtimage.php?gmt=-3.5&localtime=11:17 AM&localdate=06-05-2007#gif.gif

I downloaded the file and check it. It appears like a normal GIF and it displays fine.

Any suggestions as to why this particular timezone would not have it's corresponding filename found? Perhaps something to do with the comma issue?

I haven't checked all of the other timezones, but the ones I have seem to be working fine.

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

[Nutz]

Hey there badger, can you shoot me a link to the user in questions profile please?

Thanks,
Mat

[BadgerDog]

I was going to do that, then I fixed the problem..... :up:

I went through all of the GIFs on the server that had a comma in the filename and changed it to a period.

ie: as originally installed: gmt_-3,5.gif

renamed it to: gmt_-3.5.gif

Problem solved and the guy from Newfoundland is happy.... :D

I have no idea why this worked, but it did and his gif pic loads and appears fine now ....

Badger

Would it be possible to get rid of the template edit? After 3.6.6 there should be a suitable jook in the UserCP somewhere ...

Hi I had the same problem, some time zone areas would not show up.
I went and made the changes and its all fine now.
Maybe the main file can be updated if not done already.
Nice hack, looks great!!!

Hi, newbie here! I have 3.6.4 and got the XML part and the ftp upload part done. I am trying to edit the MEMBERINFO but mine is a bit different from the code provided.

Mine:

Where do I put this code?

<td class="tcat" width="50%">$vbphrase[timezone_image]</td>

<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
<div class="panel">

[vnairp11]

it won't display some time zones like gmt +9:30 adelaide, darwin

[Tikibird]

I am still trying to make this one work. I have since upgraded to 3.6.8 PL2 and reinstalled this product and did everything according to the instructions and I am still not getting a time zone graphic. I checked my profile and some members as well. Do I need to add a profile field or something?

I am currently running a Christmas theme as the default and only edited THAT MEMBERINFO template. Am I supposed to edit ALL my themes? I have about 8 of them, some boards have their own themes.

[princeedward]

thanks a lot...work like a charm to my vBulletin? v3.6.8

;)

[Boofo]

I have this working like a charm in vb 3.7.0 beta 4 if anyone is interested. ;)

[towermatt]

Is there anyway to modify this so it can be a right block in 3.7?

Thanks in advance

[Reinhart]

We had the clock running well for quite some time, recently moved our db to a new server.

now have this:

Any ideas?

thanks

[gamerfu]

How would code this as an addon to the "Contact Info" Tab in 3.7.x? :confused:
