User's local time in post! · **Released**: 03-08-2002

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!

You mean it didn't show the local time before this hack??

Nice idea !
Just, I got confused reading the translated NOW time just above POST time...
It shouldn't be cleaner to put there the original poster time AT THE MOMENT he posted, instead of the poster timezone at the reader's instant ?

This issue, I could use $post[dateline] instead of time() ... What do you think about ?

Besides, I made a slight modification to display that line only when the poster's time is different than the 'official' board time, just to have a lighter postbit on the left side...
Great idea I stolen immediately, btw!

Thanks.

Yeah you can use $post['dateline'] instead of time() to get the time it was when the post was posted. But I want to know what the time IS right now, because maybe I need to PM the user or something.

Tommy Boy · #9 03-09-2002, 06:58 PM

Ahh... NOW I get it. Sorry for the confusion earlier.
