vB3.5 Local time and date in post and profile
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)
What does this product do?
This product will add the local time and date of users in the posts and profile. That way you will know what the time and date is where they are located. I use this on my site so I will have an idea if it is the middle of the night, where they are at, or daytime. With your users living in all corners of the globe, this hack is a nice gauge of the different time zones without having to figure out each one in your head.
Credits:
Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for pointing me in the right direction for the profile time and helping to verify the code. And everyone who chipped in at vbulletin.org to help me figure out vB3.5's new ways of doing things. A special thanks goes out to Chen Avinadav for making the first local time hack for vB2 and allowing me to release it for vB3 and vB3.5.

Is there a way.. well of course there is, but could someone do it..
It would be cool to show the local time the post is made in each post!
(Actually I was kinda hoping to get that and didn't read everything through so well but of course after installing this I realized it shows always the users current local time/date...)
The only problem with doing that would be if someone was 14 hours ahead of you or 14 hours behind you, it could get real confusing, plus it would throw everything off time-wise.
I will make a suggestion, though. I would add the local date in the postbit along with the time. The reason is that sometimes you will get someone that is a day behind you in time or a day ahead, depending on what time of the day it is. It can be confusing to members trying to figure out what day it would be for that person and if they were ahead or behind in time. Just a suggestion.
Right what you say. I omitted the L.D. coz all most all the members I'm having on my board are from the Middle East and only very few ones from America and Canada. When we grow up, I will add it back though.

Thanks for your concern. Keep the high spirit.
It was just an observation. By all means, do it the way that you want to do it. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for everyone else.
In order to make this show up for users who have no other additional info (at least at the location you said to put it at), it is necessary to add $show['extrainfo'] = true; to the member_complete plugin.
Sorry if somebody mentioned this before, but I figured you'd have fixed it if somebody had, and was too lazy to check through the whole thread.

But nice hack, nonetheless.
Well, I've never run into anyone that didn't have at least one thing showing there so yes, you are right in that respect.
