Show times on Time Zone selection

[Admin]

This is a pretty simple requested by yuma and JohnWarwick right here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26385

I already coded it like 3 months ago, but never got around to release it. That thread reminded me so here it is. :)

Basically, instead of showing the places, it shows you what the time is in that particular timezone.
Check out posts #3 and #4 if you are confused.

Here's the vbHacker version of the hack, text version will follow, and screen shots in the 3rd and 4th posts.

Have fun. :)

I'm used vb 2.2.5. And don't found
eval("\$avatarbit = \"".gettemplate("register_avatar")."\";");
}
} else {
$avatarbit = '';
}
I'm only found: eval("\$avatarbits .= \"".gettemplate("register_avatarbit")."\";");
}
eval("\$avatarbit = \"".gettemplate("register_avatar")."\";");
}
}

if ($who=="adult") {
if ($litereg) {

Installed and working perfectly :)

[The Realist]

tried to install this hack but when it comes to the bit in register.php at to replace this:

eval("\$avatarbit = \"".gettemplate("register_avatar")."\";");
}
} else {
$avatarbit = '';
}

with this:

eval("\$avatarbit = \"".gettemplate("register_avatar")."\";");
}
} else {
$avatarbit = '';
}

// ******************************************** \\
// *** Show times in timezone selection box *** \\
$times = array();
for ($i = -12; $i <= 12; $i += 0.5) {
$time = $i * 10;
if ($time < 0) {
$time = 'n' . substr($time, 1);
}
$times["$time"] = date($timeformat, time() + ($i - $timeoffset) * 3600); // 137 edit
}
// *** Show times in timezone selection box *** \\
// ******************************************** \\

I get a parse error? and I have also noticed that in my original register.php file I dont have these lines:

} else {
$avatarbit = '';
}

Any ideas?

I actually like to see the zone names, so here is what I did:

Hope this is helpful to others!

Isn't that the same code for all 3 templates? :)

[X-Fan]

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to include those timezones that have daylight savings?

For example, I'm in Adelaide, Australia and there's the regular +9:30 timezone, but how can we set it to recognize our +10:30 timezone when we're in daylight saving?

And any way to have the system automatically update the various timezones when daylight savings comes into effect and when it ends?

[Boofo]

The server your site is on should handle that, shouldn't it? At least, I think it would. :)

[X-Fan]

I'm using the World Times hack:

http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/forums/worldtimes.php?s=

And I've got $timezones[10.5] = "Adelaide DST"; added to the php file but it doesn't come up right.

[VAN]

I'm having a problem with this one. When a user changes their time zone in ther CP, the select box does not "remember" the change.

The box shows -12:00 hours GMT by default. If I change it to -5:00GMT and go back to look at my options, it is back to showing -12:00 GMT.

Is there a quick fix for this?

[poetic]

umm this doesnt work i cant find the second code edit in members.php can someone please help

[weirdpixels]

*installs, works great
