configure time difference

[cactux]

Hello,

My server is at +6 hours from most of my visitors, so the time displayed for messages is wrong.
Could it be possible to have a parameter to set up this? So a server in USA would display correct time for users in France, for example.
Or better : find a way to determine the time of the visitor, and display a correct one. Isn't there a javascript function to get the time of the client?

Thanks !

Yann

After reading my post, I realize I was not very clear, sorry.

Here is the problem:
My server is in US, although most of my visitors are in France.
When they connect to the server, the time displayed is 6 hours behind.
Example : if it is 10:30am in France, a user will see 4:30 displayed for the time.

How can I correct this ?
Could it be done automatically by detecting the time of the client?

Thanls

I think to solution is to use a user paremeters (metadata on the next 1.0 data model is a good solution) to store the time difference between the client and the server, then on the client side when parsing the message, it will be possible to adjust the time.

However this is not a priority for me now, I concentrate my efforts to the 1.0 release.

in phpglobalconfig.class

/**
* <p>Can be used to setup the chat time zone.
* It is the difference in seconds between chat clock and server clock.
* (Default value: 0)</p>( (Indonesia:25200)(Perbedaan waktu dgn GMT : 7jam : 7*60*60=25200second))-diky
*/
var $time_offset = 25200;

you can change time offset = your different time with server (in seconds)

thx
