Pachi had a great idea for adding time / date tags. They will take a time or date in one format and display it in your local timezone. You will first need to edit your profile to select your time zone for this to work.

The input is very flexible, allowing you to input in either numbers or some textual methods.

Examples:
[time]13:05 KST[/time]

Output:
04:05 GMT (+00:00)

[time]7pm edt[/time]

Output:
23:00 GMT (+00:00)

[date]April 28 04:00 KST[/date]

Output:
Tuesday, Apr 27 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

[date]next thursday 10am GMT[/date]

Output:
Thursday, Apr 22 10:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)

Kind of funny that only just now is this function revealed, even after TL has been involved in multiple time zones for quite a few years now

Still, that'll make everything sooo convenient ^_^

Great new feature! Will calendar events continue to be given in KST, or will the new system be adopted for that as well?

Edit: Oh, and will the time be automatically set forward/back one hour for daylight savings time?

Apparently there was a new time zone planned for Pacific, but it was scrapped. It still exists in spirit though.

Excellent feature. I also second that it should update the calendar on the right side as well if it wouldn't be too much work. At least something to think about changing in the future if not now.

Would be nice to be able to write the time for my local zone, let's say like:
<time>11:43</time>
and for it to be displayed for others in their format, something similar to let's say
<time>09:43 GMT</time>

Yeah I would have liked this too, unfortunately the conversion from a timezone only accepts abbreviations (EDT, GMT, CET, etc) and the to timezone is in the tzdata-style "Continent/City" format. I may consider some workarounds, but it isn't that hard just to specify your local timezone each time and avoids any ambiguity, eg if a mod edits your post.

Yep, even New Zealand gets the time code loving. Now I don't have to do weird maths to figure out when games are. Cheers there R1CH.

I'm surprised it doesn't accept EST5EDT, CST6CDT which would deal with dst. If you wanted you could add those custom. These work in mysql and such, I would think they would work for you. Maybe there is some tzinfo you can add?

I know this is a first step, but I still can't wait for the calendar events to support this.

Anyway, if one wants to check the time of an event, just write a post with the hour and click preview

Whenever daylight savings begins, this is gonna break all the times that are shown because people will be putting est on everything and then when the clocks all change, those times will not with it.

Also when I put plain old "7:00" it interprets that as 18:00 EDT which is not only the wrong dst setting, but it is way off because the server assumes korean time for everything.

22:00 GMT (+00:00)

A better way would be to if my time zone is set, putenv("TZ=<whatever my timezone is set to>") before you call strtotime, then set it back to korean afterwards if necessary. This way, not only will the time be correct, every time the post is rendered, if daylight savings time has flipped, the time will auto correct itself. This way, people don't have to specify a time zone at all when they post a time, they just go

What are relative dates relative to?
1) Today -- changes all the time
2) the date of the post -- Fails on quote
3) date of the last edit? -- Fails on Quote and edit
I don't feel comfortable with any of them. But date of the post is probably the best bet.

Now we just need a title(mouse over hint) for KST and UTC

I agree this is less than ideal, and hopefully relative dates will be the minority use (unfortunately there is no option to disable them). Currently it uses the date of the post.

R1CH, once a user selects the timezone in their profile, the converted dates just look like normal text. Could you make it so that they are made abit more obvious like bolded or underlined automatically? would help alot

What would also be cool would be a mouse-over popup thingy that shows the time/date converted into the most important time zones (eastern, western, CET and Korean time) when hovering the mouse over a time/date.

The list isn't compiled by us, those are the built in timezones for PHP / Linux. If your city isn't there, just pick one that's in the same time zone.

R1CH delivers, yet again.

Truly standardizing the KST time zone is a good move too I think. Often I just don't have a clue exactly how many hours I have to subtract. I remember one occasion of tuning into a certain tournament and finding i'd missed almost an hour of precious broodwar action.

when someone posts a time/date for something, it automatically converts it on your end to show up as the time/date for your timezone.

Would it be possible that the time shown in "upcoming events" would be based on ones timezone. This would be really awesome as I and maybe alot of others wouldn't mess up the 1830 korean time.

This would be really awesome!

Also, cool feature already as it is.

Thanks R1ch, I was having trouble getting my time zone to work correctly -- my profile was already set for pacific, but the [local] button was still telling me to set my profile.

If anyone else has this problem, I fixed it by simply reselecting my zone, entering my current password, and updating. Works now.

Thanks for the new code! especially love the [date] next thursday ]/date[

Hey guys
The new local time/date functions are awesome, but I seem to have a weird bug in that every time I log out, I am unable to view event times, etc in my local time when I log back in unless I go back to profile -> edit location -> save changes.
My location is still listed as Europe/London when I check, but unless I actually go to the edit profile page & save every time I log in, localtime doesn't seem to work for me

this is by far the most useful forum code of all forums. More websites/forums should have this feature. First time I saw it (in a key contest post), I was like "wha? how do they know my time zone? surely, this is not a contest for new zealand only? the poster doesn't appear to be from new zealand".. yes, i'm a silly sausage.

Anyhow, many thanks for this feature. To misappropriate a quote from Lz, "it helps a TON".

BST is British Summer Time and should only be GMT + 1. I'll double check it.

Confirmed, it's GMT + 1 for me which is accurate.

Keep in mind CET is not in use currently, the time zone is CEST due to Daylight Saving Time. Are you sure you didn't mean 20:00 CEST?

dear lord these time zones between daylight saving and none just makes it confusing haha. Consider implementing it to automatically take into account CEST or CET for time of the year so etc. So then you can just use PST CST EST instead of both PDT CDT EDT etc.

Unfortunately the code that does the parsing is inside PHP, it's not my code so I have no control over how it interprets time zones.
