Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 29, 20214 yr Hello, I was wondering if there was any simple way to place times within content (page content blocks, announcements, posts, etc.) that would use the user's time instead of a hard typed time. Essentially instead of me having to place "5pm EST", I could just use a tag or something to place 5PM and it will factor in the user's defined timezone or simply use the forum default time for guests and display the correct time? I mostly need this for the Pages app, so a coded solution is fine, but I am very curious if there is any sort of built in feature that I am missing. Even for a coded solution, I am not sure how to push a time based on their account time setting vs their IP timezone. Thank-you in advance.

In the actual content of the site? E.g. if I add "I posted this at 6:21 EST today", I do not believe it will update to PST for west coast viewers looking at this post. I know it will do it for system items and calendar events, but I am looking for a way to add that function into blocks on the Pages App.
April 14, 20214 yr By all means when you use a date it is in "locale" not server time. Are you using Date fields? Or are you trying to do this in a post?
