That already exists, in fact Chris put that setting there just for the purpose you suggest. But since I see you're working on some script, I wanted to point out that the user's time zone is already available.

done !
i have reworked the script. thing is done, can you give it a try?.
I dont need to think of time zones or even daylight saving...
All i need is to get the date diff from server and client and apply that date diff to the date in question.
<br />
function ConvertTime(svrdate,anydate)<br />
{<br />
clientDate = new Date();<br />
serverDate = new Date(svrdate);<br />
date = new Date(anydate);<br />
<br />
datediff = (clientDate.valueOf()-serverDate.valueOf())/1000/60;
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes()+datediff);
<br />
d = date.getDate();<br />
m = date.getMonth()+1;<br />
h = date.getHours();<br />
n = date.getMinutes();<br />
sTime = h+":"+((n<10)?"0"+n:n)+" ";<br />
sDate = new String(date.toUTCString());<br />
sDate = sDate.substr(5,6); <br />
sDate+=" '"+(String(date.getFullYear()).substr(2,2));<br />
sTime+=sDate;<br />
document.write(sTime);<br />
}<br />
<br />
<script>ConvertTime("<%=Now%>","03-25-2005 17:06")</script>

The timezone is already inplace in the profile but updating the timestamp everywhere in the site where a time is displayed hasn't been done because there are other items I feel a more important.
It's far, far easier simply to calculate an offset based on the reader's timezone and the server's timezone and then do
DateTime RelativeDate = AbsoluteDate.AddHours(Offset);
return RelativeDate.ToShortTimeString();
cheers,

i started to make a script using timezons ,but a very big problem came up (lightsaving).

yes it is , but you can do it all on the client side, less for the servers to do.
and in case you did not take a look at my previus posts on this thread  here it is:
and one optimization can be made:
istead of sending the servertime to the function everytime , you can declare it inside the fuction, avoiding to much calls to "Now" on the server.
function ConvertTime(svrdate,anydate)<br />
{<br />
clientDate = new Date();<br />
serverDate = new Date(svrdate);<br />
date = new Date(anydate);<br />
<br />
datediff = (clientDate.valueOf()-serverDate.valueOf())/1000/60;
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes()+datediff);
<br />
h = date.getHours();<br />
n = date.getMinutes();<br />
sTime = h+":"+((n<10)?"0"+n:n)+" ";<br />
sDate = new String(date.toUTCString());<br />
sDate = sDate.substr(5,6); <br />
sDate+=" '"+(String(date.getFullYear()).substr(2,2));<br />
sTime+=sDate;<br />
document.write(sTime);<br />
}<br />
<br />
<script>ConvertTime("<%=Now%>","03-25-2005 17:06")</script>
it works:

Why not displaying the server clock with javascript?
There could be multiple settings, e.g. a digital clock or analog clock.

Heyas Chris and all the SiteBuilders,
Is there anyway to put the Currently Online count on the front page?
Just a thought
Thanks,

Okay CodeProject - I want:
coffee cups with the cool little alien guy (CLAG(tm)... gal? hard to
tell
I want some decent hats with the CLAG.
I want some t-shirts - quality t-shirts - with the CLAG and some
kind of catchy phrase. For example, I have a t-shirt from
Code Warrior - "Blood, Sweat, and Code."
Did I miss something on the web site?

Well, I have to say that it has been a long long time for me to experience slow webiste and very slow file download.
I was wondering IIS+ASP is just not good enough to handle the users of codeproject.com?

IIS+ASP is more then capable of running a site like this and more. ASP.Net is even more capable.

..is it just me, or do others find tihs site painfully slow? It's a shame, because otherwise it's one of the best around... I am on a fast broadband connection but usually wait 15-20 seconds for a page to load - sometimes, they don't load at all and I am left looking at a blank screen. If I then hit the STOP button in my browser I will usually see half the page appear... I am using the latest IE6 on XP all up to date etc and have no problems on other sites...
cheers

It depends on the time of day, some blind luck, and the current phase of the moon.
Normally first thing in the morning (GMT) the site is nice and fast, slowing gradually over the day till sometimes it will be unbearably slow around 10pm. It should be noted though that in recent months the speed of the site has improved dramatically.

CodeProject.com is becoming unusably slow on a more regular basis now. What the heck kind of server is the site running on? Is code optimization needed? Lets get this site fixed - its a great resource when it works!
|

|

I agree. Sometimes, when I click on an article, It takes a minute or two just waiting to get a response back. Nice site, but it's becoming too slow to use for much of a resource anymore.

when one searsh in the who's who the page count allways com aout like this
Page 2 of 179973
even if there is only one record.

I don’t know if this has been suggested, but a chat room would be nice. Either some .Net custom thing or an irc channel for the site would be fine. There is defiantly enough talent to automate administration of such a chat room.

I don't know how long a chat room would alst with all the "please do ym homework for me" questions it would attract, but I would definately like to see some more interviews with leading software companies and the development teams that build our tools, etc, maybe even some where we can submit questions beforehand.
