Excellent — thanks for the quick response. I’m writing up my ten favorite WordPress plugins and want the final article to reflect v2.8’s functionality. I was going to recommend Automatic Timezone… I still will, but with the caveat that it’s best with pre-2.8.

Yep. The 2.8 functionality basically duplicates this. It also is compatible, meaning that if you used this, then 2.8 will know about your setting and continue to use it.

I’ve been considering upgrading the plugin to make it self-deactivate when 2.8 is being used. It’s not necessary, exactly, but it does seem like it’d be cool.

So this plugin can be deactivated and deleted when WP 2.8 comes out?

By: Otto

Otto — Tue, 12 May 2009 11:35:18 +0000

Well, then your version of PHP is broken or missing the timezone database. Nothing I can do to fix that. The list of timezones comes from PHP directly, it’s not contained within my plugin.

thx for your reply. the time zone butten is shown but empty! no cities or locations are listed…

If you can activate the plugin, then it works. Just go to the new Settings->Timezone page and choose your zone.

plug-in is not workig correct… it doesn’t show my any “time-zones” in admin-panel

great job – awesome simple plugin. I can’t believe we need a plugin for this. Anyone using any sort of events calendar plugins or anything else like that can’t do without it. This should be part of wordpress core! Do you know we should most effectively suggest that to the wordpress development community?

Hi Otto,

1) Thanks for your plugin – it is almost essential for my plugin to handle timezone differences correctly between calendars, servers and wordpress installations!

2)HTML validation: Your “clock.png” in the admin menu:
I was testing my plugin’s validation and the admin page was not validating -it was actually a missing “alt” on your little clock icon on the admin settings menu timezone item.

Validator response:
required attribute “alt” not specified.

…lock.png” style=”margin-right:4px;” />Timezone

Thought you might like to know for next time you update the plugin. – just add an alt to the image.
Regards, anna-marie

Very nice plugin, thanks !
Actually I’ve made a similar one for my old phpbb/PHP4 board, but hadn’t enough motivation to develop a good one for WP/PHP5

NB : there is a typo in french translated labels : ‘Heuresement’ => ‘Heureusement’

Sorry, but no. The whole of WordPress is somewhat built upon the idea that the blog itself has but one time zone. This plugin makes it easier and more automatic to select that timezone, but it doesn’t add any per-user functionality. However, with some modification and adaptation, it could be used in that fashion. It’s not a minor task, however, and would take some doing.

Hello, I have a question about your excellent plugin.

I need to display dates/times to many users in different time zones, and I was wondering if I could use your plugin to allow users to select their time zone when they create an account and then adjust event times (e.g., meetings, event start times, etc.) for each user? Can your plugin be used in this manner, or is it mainly for a WP admin to manage his/her one time zone?

Thanks,
Charles

Actually, this plugin does not contain any timezone info by itself. It gets the timezones from your installation of PHP or the server, depending on what your server supports. This is because the server itself is likely to be more up-to-date than anything else.

I believe the correct timezone for India is Asia/Calcutta or Asia/Kolkata if that is available.
