Miscellaneous Hacks - Poster's local time and date in postbit and profile

Poster's local time and date in postbit and profile for vBulletin 3.7.0 beta 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add the local time and date of posters 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.

Note: This will also show the correct time and date of the poster to guests. You do not have to be logged in to know what time it is in someone else's world.

Credits:
Thanks goes out to KirbyDE for pointing me in the right direction for the profile time and helping to verify the original code. And thanks goes out to Chen Avinadav for making the first local time hack for vB2 and allowing me to release it for vB3, vB3.5 and now vB3.7.0 beta 4. A special thanks goes out to Dismounted, a distinguished member of the vb.org Staff, for catching my newbie mistake of not checking for new hook placements.

I am using this on a board with some restrictions on mods, mostly being that we want to limit physical edits of the templates and use template hooks whenever possible. We only wanted this product for the postbit, so if you want to make this work without the template edit of the postbit legacy here is the code you add in the plugin titled "Local Date/Time in Postbit" right at the end of the plugin:

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] = "<if condition=\"$post[userid]\">
	<div>$vbphrase[bf2_local_time]: $post[localtime]</div>
	<div>$vbphrase[bf2_local_date]: $post[localdate]</div>
</if>";

Not displaying anything.

However, we migrated server over this weekend, and I have a sneaky feeling, we may have been viewing admin on old server.

Will go check now ( my humblest apologies if thats the simple error )

WIll check back.
