Plugin info here. In a nutshell, I can enter a time in GMT, wrap it in the BBCode tags, and when a user reads it, it'll be seen in their time. I know most people don't use this, but it'd be -SO- useful for things such as the Death Note Game, or organising dates and times. There is a minor glitch when after editing a post with these tags, the editor is redirected to a white page. But this is tolerable enough, as the post is still edited. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE install this.
I'm kinda confused as to how this would work... but i get it a bit, it does sound reasonable. Things like that always help:)
For example, I could type the tag, [gmt]5:04AM[/gmt]. That'd then show up to be whatever that is in your timezone (as determined by what you've entered on the forum).
I like this, it will make arranging different things so much easier, I mean, yeah we can always calculate the time differences ourselves... but this saves us the trouble.
Kind of a stupid BB code if you ask me... but I added it to the list. You must put the time in as GMT. HTML: [timezone]day,month,year,hr,minutes[/timezone] Ex. HTML: [timezone]10,3,2011,02,30[/timezone] Displays as: [timezone]10,3,2011,02,30[/timezone] Enjoy? lol
[timezone]30,11,2045,23,42[/timezone] It's a pain in the ass to type it. It's a pain in the ass to get it working lol
[timezone]1,8,11,15,30[/timezone] Sweet, it autocalculates it. This'll help a ton for the DN Game. Thanks RvR!
It's not August 1st yet. >_< It's still July 30th for some people, and for others, it's already July 31st.
I set the time as August 1st to test it out. [timezone]31,7,11,11,30[/timezone] Oh, and it doesn't show up after editing until you refresh, but that's a known bug.
It isn't about stating the current time or posting time (I'm not sure which of those two you thought it did). What it does is allows you to post a time and everyone that reads it sees it as their time zone. For example. If I wanted to host a party in the Spamzone at midnight next Friday night. Because of different timezones it won't be midnight for everyone. Since I'm in CDT (GMT-5) I need to add 5 hours to get to GMT as the code needs. So by typing in this [noparse][timezone]7,8,2011,05,00[/timezone][/noparse] it will display this [timezone]7,8,2011,05,00[/timezone] And the above line calculates itself to match the timezone of the viewer, thus removing the need for people to figure out what a time posted by someone else means to them.
