World Timezones on indexpage

This hack puts a list of the worldtimezones on your index page, instructions and needed files are in the attached zipfile..

Currently there's no demo so if someone has installed it, plz add a link to it...

I've not tested it thoroughly but it seems to be working well..

enjoy

There's a little bug I just found out.

The template timezonelist contains

PHP Code:

<img src="{images}/$lightbulb.gif" alt=""> 


The problem is when you are not logged in, the image is broken ($lightbulb is not defined).

So what I did is just changed it to

PHP Code:

<img src="{images}/clock.gif" alt=""> 


(When clock.gif is a little image I did with a world and a clock)

I'm using v2.0.3, so I'm not sure if this is also a problem on earlier versions.

EDIT: Just saw that this is mentioned before. Sorry.

Ah the Lightbulb bug, this one had me stumped for a while he he

<img src="{imagesfolder}/on.gif" alt=""></td>

This is what I did, )always on (as the calculation of the time is)

This hack looks great [saw it on another site]. I think though it doesn't account for daylight savings time [like the US Pacific Time] May need to manually adjust for that???. Also, has anyone been able to put it somewhere else on a page outside of the forum tables???

I would just like to add a tiny table with 6 or so timezones in it at another spot on my page.

Thanks.

I'm going to try this but instead of putting the times in the main table I am going to try to stick it in the footer instead by sticking $timezonelist down there. Will see what happens...

Doesn't work in the footer. Nothing came up.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home/moneytec/public_html/forums/timezone.php on line 39

I get that...anyone know why?

I still have this question..........

<?php

$dateformat = "l H:i";
$percol = 13;

$timezones[-12] = "Eniwetok, Kwajalein";
$timezones[-11] = "Midway Island, Samoa";
$timezones[-10] = "Hawaii";
$timezones[-9] = "Alaska";
$timezones[-8] = "Pacific Time (US & Canada)";
$timezones[-7] = "Mountain Time (US & Canada)";
$timezones[-6] = "Central Time (US & Canada), Mexico City";
$timezones[-5] = "Eastern Time (US & Canada)";
$timezones[-4] = "Atlantic Time (Canada)";
$timezones[-3] = "Brazil, Buenos Aires, Georgetown";
$timezones[-2] = "Mid-Atlantic";
$timezones[-1] = "Azores, Cape Verde Islands";
$timezones[0] = "London, UK";
$timezones[1] = "Amsterdam, Netherlands";
$timezones[2] = "Kaliningrad, South Africa";
$timezones[3] = "Baghdad, Kuwait";
$timezones[4] = "Tehran";
$timezones[5] = "Ekaterinburg, Islamabad";
$timezones[6] = "Almaty, Dhaka";
$timezones[7] = "Bangkok, Hanoi";
$timezones[8] = "Beijing, Perth, Singapore, Hongkong";
$timezones[9] = "Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka";
$timezones[10] = "Guam, Papua New Guinea";
$timezones[11] = "Magadan, Solomon Islands";
$timezones[12] = "Auckland, Wellington, Fiji";

$i=0;

while(list($timediff, $cities)=each($timezones))
{ $i++;
$servertime = $timeoffset - $timediff;
$timestamp = mktime (date("H")-$servertime, date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y"));
$datetime = date($dateformat, $timestamp);
eval("\$citycol .= \"".gettemplate('timezone_city')."\";");
if($i % $percol == 0)
{ eval("\$cityzones .= \"".gettemplate('timezone_city_col')."\";");
unset($citycol);
}
}

if($i % $percol != 0)
eval("\$cityzones .= \"".gettemplate('timezone_city_col')."\";");

eval("\$timezonelist .= \"".gettemplate('timezonelist')."\";");

?>

That is the code in the part

$dateformat = "l H:i";
$percol = 13;

Can I change the Colums to 3 Colums instead of only 2 of them. Thansk if you can help me with that one.

TO change those 2 Colums to 3 Colums I just have to do some Math. LOL your colums are 13 in each, so there were 2 colums that ADD to 26, my aproximation was 26/3 give me a uneven number. I just put 9 It looks just the way I want it and now I have 3 Colums. Again Awesome hack. If you want to have 3 colums intead of 2 just change this


in timezone.php


Find:

$dateformat = "l H:i";
$percol = 13;

Change it to this

$dateformat = "l H:i";
$percol = 9;

Thanks very much For this Hack, now it looks just the way I wanted. You the Man!!!!!!!!!!

In vbb2final Look for this

PHP Code:

$templatesused='forumhome_birthdaybit,error_nopermission,forumhome_pmloggedin,forumhome_welcometext,forumhome_logoutcode,forumhome_newposts,forumhome_todayposts,forumhome_logincode,forumhome_loggedinuser,forumhome_loggedinusers,forumhome_lastpostby,forumhome_moderator,forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost,forumhome_forumbit_level1_post,forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost,forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,forumhome,forumhome_unregmessage'; 


Replace it with this:

PHP Code:

$templatesused='error_nopermission,forumhome_pmloggedin,forumhome_welcometext,forumhome_logoutcode,forumhome_newposts,forumhome_todayposts,forumhome_logincode,forumhome_loggedinuser,forumhome_loggedinusers,forumhome_lastpostby,forumhome_moderator,forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost,forumhome_forumbit_level1_post,forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost,forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,forumhome,forumhome_unregmessage,timezonelist,timezone_city,timezone_city_col';
