Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/21343 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: system.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: crunchywelch Updated by: killes@www.drop.org Status: patch Yes, I think this patch is usefull. It makes the time zone selector better readable and improves usability. This selector is used for both the cetral system time and the user's time zone (if that is enabled). killes@www.drop.org Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 26, 2005 - 06:59 : crunchywelch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/system_6.patch (4.87 KB) This patch adds locale names to the timezone offsets provided by system.module. Currently, the function returns an array with offsets for keys and formatted 'local' times for the values. With this patch, the function will return an associative array with two keys 'times' and 'locales'. Each key has an array with the offset values for keys, and thier associated local time value, or locale name. This patch provides a standard place to retrieve timezone values when developing with them, improves useability when displaying timezone select boxes, and updates the timezone offset values. This patch will be utilized immediately by event.module, which currently uses an almost equivelant function, event_zonelist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 26, 2005 - 17:17 : Dries Does anyone thinks is worth including in core? If it is only useful for one or two modules (eg. the event module), it would be easy enough to include this table in those modules.
