I don't know. It should work though.

I just installed the timezone hack. And I want to lock my forums down GOOD! I could care less about any timezone outside the US or Canada, so my question is....... Will entering these as you see them work fine? All the example gives in the software is,

Quote:

Example: 1,3,-2

-12, -11, -4:30, -3, 12, -1, +1, +2, +3, +3:30, +4, +4:30, +5, +5:30, +5:45, +6, +6:30, +7, +8, +9, +9:30, +10, +11, +12

Thanks!

I didn't seem to handle half hour zones correctly. For a fix, in the file, find and remove:

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach (explode(',', $data) AS $timezone)
{
    if (intval($timezone) == 0)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

And use -12.5, -4.5, etc.

I'm going to give this a try on one of my sites.

Dismounted, is this how I would list the unwanted timezones in that space?

Quote:

-12,-11,-10,-9,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6,+7,+8,+9,+10,+11,+12

Also, I don't know how to list that Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon, Casablanca.

Do you really think this will have any effect? A quick scrap of the forums will give the time zone and they can supply the correct time zone.

Then what about real users that don't want the time zone you limit them too?

This is a new members nightmare. This is worse than making them do capture and recapture.

How does a person with an international forum continue to grow?

I applaud your efforts, but this is just silly. There are better solutions by several people that are transparent to the new member and actually work without creating more work for the new member or limiting them.

This is something that I'd add only to TalkOhio, of course, certainly not to Themes by Design. I don't know if it will work or not. Nothing else is, so we'll see.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:45 AM.
