This code hack allows you to print your local time in your LINKS pages not the local time where your web server is located.


Hope this helps those LINKS users who want to print their local build time in their LINKS pages.



I submitted this code hack in the FAQ section of the Resource Center this evening.

Good job, Eliot!

However, I promised to you, that I will implement Time Zone feature into my Date Format mod (which also supports time formats) before I release it.
I don't know when will I have time to implement Time Zone feature, so it's fine you released separately.

Nice, Eliot

However, if you are on Unix and have telnet access to your server it is easier to:
% chmod 600 ~/etc/localtime
% cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London ~/etc/localtime

Where *London* is just an example - there are many more for allmost all regions of the world.

Then the timezone will be corrected for all your scripts where time and dates are used.

Thanks for the comments.

webmaster33,

I knew that you were in the process of updating the date.pm module you were working on and remember when I suggested GMT/Time Zone support. Well, I needed a solution sooner than later, so I came up with a very quick and simple code hack.

JAC,

Thank you, however, keywords here are "if you are on Unix"...I wanted to find a more universally accessible answer. And yes, I knew about doing it via UNIX, but I prefer doing it via Perl.
