Forum server time?

**TC_Halogen** · 11-25-2010, 01:13 AM

Not a real major thing, was just wondering if it was possible to create a time-stamp script below the currently online users and total member count.

I figure a script like this shouldn't be too hard to add. It adds convenience for hosts/players in tournaments because they don't have to try and calculate the difference, they could just have a unified server time to look at.

The only thing I wonder, is if it's even possible to make the script without affecting vBulletin forum settings. But hey, it was worth a shot.

Funny you should ask, I was thinking about it today. I'll see what i can do.

**TC_Halogen** · 11-25-2010, 01:21 AM

Dumb thing I did in the picture - you should probably have the date display the full month rather than the number itself (i.e. November rather than "11" - a little more friendly to foreign users this way).

**Zageron** · 11-25-2010, 01:29 AM

This is a very good idea. I like it.
Why not take advantage of the new abilities of the internet and make it a real time status. (Updates every second without refreshing, and do this for the online and total as well)

**ic0slay3r** · 11-25-2010, 01:38 AM

wow you guys are fast. btw the hour in the profile page shows a different hour than the one on the main page.

**aperson** · 11-25-2010, 01:41 AM

Yep had to adjust for GMT to CST, should be working now. Doesn't load on forums but forums don't need the time. I'll add it to the forums too if people want it.

**TC_Halogen** · 11-25-2010, 01:42 AM

That was damn fast, haha.

EDIT: Forum addition would be nice too considering most people will use a screenshot on the main page of a tournament they are signed up in.

Also, random question - is it possible to go down to the second on these times and make it live?

**ic0slay3r** · 11-25-2010, 01:44 AM

Adding it to the forums would be nice to.
Still showing different hours on diferent pages.

**TC_Halogen** · 11-25-2010, 01:47 AM

Hours are showing properly for me.

**aperson** · 11-25-2010, 01:49 AM

wow changes between home page or profiles what the F*ck that is dumb this code........................

w/e gonna smoke and then fix it. I'll make it give seconds but I give no guarantees on real time update.

**psychoangel691** · 11-25-2010, 01:50 AM

Yea it was showing up wrong for me at first but then when I went to my profile and back to the main page it was correct.

**TC_Halogen** · 11-25-2010, 01:50 AM

Hey, I'm just glad to see it display the time - I don't mind about the specifics, haha.

Thanks for the addition (you guys going to add this to the changelog?).

**ic0slay3r** · 11-25-2010, 01:53 AM

Now I can only see.

The current time is: Thursday 25th of November

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 11-25-2010, 02:29 AM

Brilliant suggestion, AJ. And yeah, I'm surprised that the mods got around to implementing this feature so quickly..

Now we wait for them to fix the bug that doesn't allow us to purchase songs...

cough

Workin on setting it up w/ the next engine release. The purchase bug is a little bit more than just a surface fix.

Date stamp is working properly now. GG WordPress for hardcoding a timezone setting in its settings that isn't even editable from the admin dashboard.

We have nothing better to do, also it's finished with times the same throughout the site.

About the shop, I have no idea whats wrong. I've never had any issue with it.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 11-25-2010, 02:42 AM

Gah, nevermind. I can purchase songs. I didn't even bother seeing if it were possible to purchase songs on the velocity engine. Apparently it is.

I'm dumb hah.
