[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.

[Deprecated]

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ETA: question withdrawn

Very nice!

@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!

[Sabre™]

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

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

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.

Hi mate, Im having trouble uninstalling this manually. (had a bad backup, now reinstalling everything)
I removed everything, and lost my site. Every page was a white screen.
On my second attempt, I removed each template individually, and it wasnt until I removed the 2 in the source file till I got the blank pages again.
I re inserted all again manually, and have come to ask what I missed.

For the db, I just dropped the tables, is this correct, or do I need to run a query or something?

So when the tables are dropped, and all files removed, I lose the site.

Any/all assistance is appreciated
Thanks for you time

regards

Why did you not use the uninstall feature of the mod?

Hmmm there are many possibilites why this could happen id that you could remove to much.
I would say as first step remove that what the mod install and if you do all correct than the forums should normal work. Do not remove files or tables before you not removed all changes of the .mod file.

My latest, and only backup of my site was corrupt, so this and other mods are incomplete and dont have the uninstall feature :-/
If I recall, the mod only touches the language files, and inserts 2 templates into the sources dir, and 1 into the default theme... correct?
I have tried removing the 3 templates a few times now, leaving the db untouched, and Im still getting blank pages.
As long as I leave the Subs-TimeZone template in the source dir, the site will be ok.
Any ideas why?

Thanks mate

It's because the mod change more things

Look into the TimezonesSelect1.1.x.mod there are many change for the source, too.
For example permissions, the subs file loading (a important file for the mod) .

Ahhh ok, cheers.
I will have to have another look.
Thanks mate, I'll get back to ya with my result lol

[ディン1031]

So i finally released the mod at the mod site, it will take some time until it will be shown, but if this happen than i will close the thread and the support moves to that thread . (I will also remove the package file from this thread).

Din,

When the admin sets the default timezone, then a member sets the timezone in his profile, it reverses what the set timezone is. Example:

Admin has set to New York, Eastern Time. Time is November 13, 2008, 07:51:56 AM

Member sets timezone in his profile to New York, Eastern Time. Time is November 13, 2008, 12:51:56 PM

There should be way to have it so if the member selects the same timezone as the admin has preset that it does not conflict like that.

Basically, it seems to just un-do the timesetting, and shows the UTC time to the member.
Yes, this is on a test site, not an active site.

Other than that, this mod is great, and no other problems.

Huu, normal it should irgnore the forums default.
But if you right than the bug is in the final, too (I was sure that i tested this).
But i will look into it .

(My to do list is so long know *g*, time to reduce it) :X.

This is a mistake on my installer... i add an unsigned where i should not add it... (It's since the the first beta wrong xD, and i did not test it on my finished final installer.)

To fix this use on phpMyAdmin follow command:

Code Select Expand


ALTER TABLE `{$db_prefix}portalmembers` CHANGE `timezone_offset` `timezone_offset` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL 

The {$db_prefix} must be replaced with you prefix for the database.

You can also only remove the unsigned option on the field "timezone_offset" with the edit function.

I really did only use positive values so i could not see this bug oO. (And it's so long out now xD.).
