This is sort of in "proof of concept" state right now. Users can specify a timezone (such as -8 or +4.5) in their profile. It does not include a more pleasant interface (like selecting 'PST' or 'Los Angeles, CA').
Any times filtered through bb_offset_time() (which include bb_post_time(), topic_time(), topic_start_time()) will be adjusted to
the user's timezone.
This is pretty wicked! Considering how busy you have been, this plugin is good enough for now!
It would seem that installing this particular plugin on my site screws up my registration page:
bb_get_user needs a numeric IDQuick fix I am sure, but wanted to let you know! Disabled it for now!
Trent, I believe this has been fixed in version 0.2.
have a drop down menu, also when you go to "edit" have your time selected so you don't confuse other's w/ having to re-type it in. other then that, good job.
To remove the textbox and replace it with a drop down, edit user-timezones.php, replace the function extra_profile_info with:
function extra_profile_info( $user_id ) {
$user_offset = $this->get_user_offset( $user_id );
$timezones = array(-12 => 'Baker Island Time',-11 => 'Niue Time, Samoa Standard Time',-10 => 'Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, Cook Island Time',-9.5 => 'Marquesas Islands Time',-9 => 'Alaska Standard Time, Gambier Island Time',-8 => 'Pacific Standard Time',-7 => 'Mountain Standard Time',-6 => 'Central Standard Time',-5 => 'Eastern Standard Time',-4 => 'Atlantic Standard Time',-3.5 => 'Newfoundland Standard Time',-3 => 'Amazon Standard Time, Central Greenland Time',-2 => 'Fernando de Noronha Time, South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands Time',-1 => 'Azores Standard Time, Cape Verde Time, Eastern Greenland Time',0 => 'Western European Time, Greenwich Mean Time',1 => 'Central European Time, West African Time',2 => 'Eastern European Time, Central African Time',3 => 'Moscow Standard Time, Eastern African Time',3.5 => 'Iran Standard Time',4 => 'Gulf Standard Time, Samara Standard Time',4.5 => 'Afghanistan Time',5 => 'Pakistan Standard Time, Yekaterinburg Standard Time',5.5 => 'Indian Standard Time, Sri Lanka Time',5.75 => 'Nepal Time',6 => 'Bangladesh Time, Bhutan Time, Novosibirsk Standard Time',6.5 => 'Cocos Islands Time, Myanmar Time',7 => 'Indochina Time, Krasnoyarsk Standard Time',8 => 'Chinese Standard Time, Australian Western Standard Time, Irkutsk Standard Time',8.75 => 'Southeastern Western Australia Standard Time',9 => 'Japan Standard Time, Korea Standard Time, Chita Standard Time',9.5 => 'Australian Central Standard Time',10 => 'Australian Eastern Standard Time, Vladivostok Standard Time',10.5 => 'Lord Howe Standard Time',11 => 'Solomon Island Time, Magadan Standard Time',11.5 => 'Norfolk Island Time',12 => 'New Zealand Time, Fiji Time, Kamchatka Standard Time',12.75 => 'Chatham Islands Time',13 => 'Tonga Time, Phoenix Islands Time',14 => 'Line Island Time');

}Excellent plugin, and another that should be in the core. In fact, with punkstar's addition, it really deserves to be added to the core.
Yep, punkstar's addition was a great modification for the user-timezones plug-in. It's great! My posts now have the correct time. You should implement automatic DST in this.
This plugin is great. Does it change the time for posts automatically or do you need to use bb_offset_time() ? I didn't use that and the time zone didn't change for the posts, so I was wondering if we needed it. If so, how and where would we apply it? It doesn't say under the Installation or Other notes.
