Bob i got another idea for you. Guess it should be fairly simple to make and i have been walking around with the idea a long time, but just never cam to making it. What about the posters local time in the postbit (the time he made the post, next to the time the post was made).

Getting close yes :D

Maybe both the local time of the poster now, and when he made the post.

My forum is set for GMT+10 (Australian Eastern Standard Time). All is good, except for the fact that all times are 12 hours ahead of the current time.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

EDIT: Also, I don't this plugin can tell whether Daylight Savings Time (DST) is active in a particular timezone or not. Currently, it is winter in Australia, and DST isnt 'active' in southern states, however, the times for Sydney, Melbourne & Canberra are all 1 hour ahead of Brisbane (AEST) time.

Thanks,

Boofo

This line:

$servertime = ($timeoffset - ($timediff+2)); //Server is on GMT time

is GMT time. We need to change the 2 to match whatever your server time is set to, not the vb setting, but the actual server time. Does that make any sense? ;)

Try -10 instead of +2 and let me know what you get.

Work like a charm! Thanks for your help Bob!

Just a few suggestions:

Your timezone arrangements for 10 and 11 are wrong. Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra are +10, not +11. They go to +11 for DST, but that should not affect their normal +10 offset.

I believe that they should always remain in the +10, but also highlight them to indicate they are in DST.

--

There should be a PHP method to determin if a certain timezone is in DST. I would use that instead of using a user's DST determination.

--

There is a better (less templates) way to show the local users timezone.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($timediff == $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'])
{
//blah
}
else
{
//blah
}

Can Become:

PHP Code:


		
			
 
$show['localtimezone'] = false;
if ($timediff == $vbulletin->userinfo['timezoneoffset'])
{
$show['localtimezone'] = true;
}

And using conditionals in the single template instead.

--

There are also functions available in the vbulletin options array for server time.

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->options['timeoffset'] is server offset

--

Finally, you should use UTC, not GMT, because GMT changes forward 1 hour for dst. UTC doesnt :)

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:16 AM.
