Re: Changing Time ZoneThere isn't Re: Changing Time ZoneGood work Santah Re: Changing Time Zone5 2005-10-28 04:51:15 (edited by h0rnytoad1 2005-10-28 05:06:23)Re: Changing Time Zonehi santah, its 11:38pm here in gmt-5, and the home page shows friday's episodes as: Today's episodes: as today's episode, and SNL in tomorrow's. ok so its a bit early to call friday, today. its an hour early, not sure if "just" 1 hour early, i didnt check until now, i'll try to remember to check tomorrow night at 10pm. Don't forget to include normal and advanced time in the timezone script. its coming up this weekend. Spring forward, fall back. edit: hmm, it said just now, last edited a 0:04, but its actually 1:04. is 0:04 my time or your time? if its my time then its off by 1 hour since its summer time still. we'll change our clocks "fall back" in a few days, so your script should have the right hour then. Re: Changing Time Zoneem, well it was 11h38pm when i started to write it, its now 00:51, i got distracted a bit there anyway, since not everyone on the planet uses advanced time, maybe there could be an option in the account to check/uncheck to include this 1 hour time diff. anyway, i'm curious about the timezone script, what formula do you use to calculate when today/tomorrow changes for the user? im not sure if the script has access to the current time on my computer or if you're using the server's clock instead. must be something like : gmttime = servertime + servertimezone // would be nice to have an actual way to get the realtime gmt time info. advance1hour = 0 or 1 or -1 depending on user option to use or disregard that advance hour. usertime = gmttime - usertimezone + advance1hour // if result is < 24, then its still today for the user. then : dow = day_of_week(usertime) // im sure php has a built in function for that atleast thats the general theoretical part. As for the practical side of coding, you seem to have that well covered ;-) 7 2005-10-28 05:10:22 (edited by h0rnytoad1 2005-10-28 05:10:51)Re: Changing Time Zonei just re-read my stuff above, i think i was rambling maybe just a bit. anyway, brings back fond memories of programming a timer/clock way back when in Borland Turbo C , thats way before javascript but still pretty much the same good luck with your time script Re: Changing Time Zonethere is now a "settings" page Re: Changing Time ZoneThanx man Re: Changing Time Zonefantastic idea about the dates in the watchlist, i updated my timezone, now i just have to wait until around 10pm/11pm tonight or midnight see if things are fixed. woho and now there's an easy way to manage the watchlist. good job on the settings Re: Changing Time ZoneNo matter which Time Zone I pick, everything is always listed in Central Time Zone. Re: Changing Time Zoneyes it is, timezone settings work only for determining today's, tomorrow's and yesterday's shows ... Re: Changing Time Zonehmm i saw earlier around 11:30pm my time (gmt-5) the the home page's today and tomorrow are still messed up. is it really only set to use central time as ddn2003 says ? i tried with another itmezone gmt-6 still wrong days. but at gmt-7 it showed me right days. santah can you please let me know if you are working on this ? Re: Changing Time Zoneyeah, you might say that I'm planning on working on this sorry for that guys Re: Changing Time Zonethanks for the reply, its no problem for me really, it only happens after 10pm at night, so it only lasts 2hours. not a big deal. laterz. 16 2005-11-07 19:56:46 (edited by BlackBox 2005-11-07 19:58:44)Re: Changing Time Zonesantah wrote:
Hmm I wish it would work for me, but it doesn't. Also the dropdown box for the timezone setting is allways empty, when i enter the settings page. Are you sure that you save the timezone setting (DB, COOKIE, both?) Since I'm GMT+1 I see a total mess Anyway nice feature! [edit]At least the Post is displayed with the correct timestamp, so DB seems correct![/edit] Posts: 16Forums - Next Episode → Site comments/suggestions → Changing Time Zone |
