[RD] TZ time in MP?

[Crackoala]

I don't know if this would be breaking the whole 'privacy' thingy, but I thought I'd request the code anyway, since it would be kind of cool.

So basically I'm wondering if it's possible to put the current time of a member in their MP? [Mini Profile]

Let's just have an example, since it's kinda hard to explain

---
So let's say I'm going around my site, and I am scrolling through a thread, and I look at the MP of the other person who is posting in the thread. Instead of doing math trying to figure out her current time, I can just look at her Mini Profile and see what time it is there - meaning the time zone she set under her account when she clicked "Modify Profile" so the time displayed on the site would be accurate for her >.> or him
---
Hope that made it clearer
Maybe have it not appear under the MP of the account you're in?

I hope that was explained well enough
I just have a lot of people from strange Time Zones on my site, and I just want to be able to see what time it is there without having to google stuff and do math, and I've had a majority of the members ask the same thing ;D

Thank you in advanced ~ and if this is possible, you have God-status in my book

Bump o.o
Wow...it's like EXACTLY 24 hours later!

Please and thank you again <3

Forgot to mention that it's implemented as an opt-in feature to get around the privacy issue. User has to modify their profile and set the show local time option to yes. That option should be found under the date/time section (where you select daylight saving time, etc.)

[Crackoala]

Brilliant! Thank you!
Though...it says, "Local Time: Tue undefined" when I ask it to show the local time
I tried removing the one code I have that affects mini profiles, just to see if that was messing with it...but it still says, "Tue undefined"
Plusss...I didn't edit anything. I looked at the code and didn't feel like messing with anything, in fear something would explode [it has happened in the past ]

Could you link me to a profile where this "undefined" is showing?

[Crackoala]

Now it's just showing the TZ code
I'm not sure if that's what your code was supposed to do, but if so it's working now
Les Profile
I was actually hoping it would have the local time instead of the TZ code


Thanks for helping me by the way ;D
*hands cookie*

[Chris]

I don't see the code in your footer. Could you put it back in and make sure it is above the profile remodel code (http://davmax.100webspace.net/PBminipro.js)?

[Crackoala]

Hey it's working now
But...I do have one last question o.o
I set it to "999" and it's below the custom title...is there any way I could get it below the avatar, and maybe so it's one line? Like a smaller font o.O
*feels like I'm being a pain*
I'm sorry if I am

Thank you againx10 for helping me ;D

[Chris]

The reason it's up there is because the profile remodel put it there. If you temporarily disable the profile remodel code you'll see it is actually inserted below the location field.

As for affecting the size of the text you could probably use the css classes added by the profile remodel. Something like:
<style> center+.miniprofile .minifont {font-size:9px;}</style>

in the global header should affect the size.

Thank ya <3

you're welcome
