User's local time in post!

A very simple hack, but I'm sure your users will like this.
With this you can display the local time for every user in their post. Look to the left to see the hack in action.

To install this hack download the attached file (localtimepost.hack.php), upload to your /admin folder and use vbHacker.

That's all I have to say... wow that was short.

Have fun that's what really matters!

Are you using $post['localtime'] or $post[localtime] to get the time?

If you mean in my postbit template, this is what i use...

PHP Code:

    Location: $post[field2]<br>
    Local time: $post[localtime]<br>
                Local date: $post[localdate]<br> 
    Posts: $post[posts]<br>

I have $post[localtime] and it works for me

[Ice Man_00]

Since this is hacken into functions.php and is output in the postbit template. Is there anywhere else it gets the info from ?? Another file ??
Maybe there is something missing, somwhere..

I've tried to install it several times on my 2.2.8 and I keep getting this error message:

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/mywebsite/forum/admin/functions.php on line 817

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /home/www/mywebsite/forum/admin/sessions.php on line 399

Any ideas as to the cause?

Thanks.

is there a way to make this work in the PM postbit as well?

[LangTuDaTinh]

thanks for a great hack

i modifed a bit since some of my user doesn't chage to their local time when register so

i added another option in

registeradult
registercoppa

by change to this

PHP Code:


        <option value="0" >(GMT) Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon</option>
        <option value="0.1" selected>Please select your local time</option> 


as u can see i changed default option to another option which value is 0.1.

so if user doesn't select their local time zone when they are registering, the value for time zone will be 0.0 instead of 0

i also modifed a bit in functions.php

PHP Code:


        } else {
            $post[signature] = "";
        }

        /* User local time in post */
if ($post[timezoneoffset] =="0.1") {
    $timetag="";
    $timetabbr="";
    $post[localtime]="";
}
else {
    global $timeoffset;
    $post['localtime'] = date($timeformat, time()+($post['timezoneoffset']-$timeoffset)*3600);
    $timetag="Local Time: ";
    $timetabbr="<br>";
} 


then instead of put $post[localtime] in postbit, i will put

PHP Code:

$timetag$post[localtime]$timetabbr 


I also use these for Location and Bookmarks's hack.

if user doesn't specify a location then their location will not display in postbit and the same for bookmarks' hack.....check out my postbit.
