[BETA] Timezone Select 1.0 Beta 2.1

[ディン1031]

So this is the First Beta of a Timezone Select Based Time calculation for SMF.
Why Beta? Because this mod use a converted TZ Rule Database, and I'm not 100% sure if i really use everything correct... I convert the Database from this site -> http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm

What does the mod do:
This mods add 402 Timezones into SMF. The Calculation of the current time is based on a correct set server. It try to calculate the UTC time and after that it add the offset to the user time. You can also select a Timezone for the complete board, and this will be used instead of the current time. The Mod also include the Rules for Daylight Time Saving, and i hope it work correct (i tested it, but i'm not 100% sure if everthing work correct). It's possible to disable not wanted timezones, also a way to rename them is included.

So feel free to test it, and report errors here, so that i can look for fixes =).

I Attached some pictures how the mod look like and also the Package for the first beta .

1.0 Beta 1.1
! Fix the small mistake in the installer =). Thx to vbgamer45

1.0 Beta 2
+ Open the UTC fix Option... never thought that i found a so terrible set server...
! Small spelling mistake fixed (secod -> second)

1.0 Beta 2.1
! Fixes some Mistakes in the TZ Database

If you like to upgrade replace the ManageTimezones.php, ManageTimezones.template.php and Subs-TimeZone.php than you're up to date .

I'll try it. But what I see from the screen shots, just awesome.

Wow! Even before I read Sinan's reply the word that popped into my head is "awesome!"

As far as I understand it, SMF has no time zones other than the admin capability to set offset from the server and members to set offset from forum time. I was expecting I would have to just manually move the whole forum one hour when daylight savings time goes off, this helping most of my members who are in the US but screwing up international members, perhaps people whose governments don't have such silly polices as believing they can save daylight, a renewable resource anyway...

As far as I'm concerned this feature is a MUST HAVE for the next release of SMF because the absence of any daylight savings time handling makes the package less professional.

ETA: question withdrawn

@Deprecated, its not submitted ATM, its attached to its first post.

Doh! I just quit drinking coffee yesterday and my brain finds caffeine is a necessary fuel. I lost the zip link within all the jpg links. You know, forest, trees?

Well I'll download the thing right now and test it!

Damn!!
I really wanted to play with this, but after 2 attempts, I just cannot get it to install.
I lose the site, and this is whats displayed

Code Select Expand

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php template or language file.
Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\).
To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly..

Its a fresh install of smf 1.1.5, so Im guessing it maybe conflicting with one of the mods I have installed.

Im HOPING its a fixable conflict, and not just "My Bad Luck!!" lol
Your mod looks great btw mate   and I agree with Deprecated, smf should implement this feature

Cheers

P.S..
Sorry, I forgot to mention, there was something about an "unexpected "T" string"..
I forgot to copy that part over, so Im not sure on the correct text.
But if my recall is anything but loose, THATS 98% correct.

As far as I'm concerned this is a MUST HAVE modification. If I have any trouble I'll remove all mods and install this first.
