DST token/UTC time

[Pfeil]

Currently, there is no built-in method of checking whether the current time is DST or not, which is necessary for determining UTC.

With the "{DST}" Token, one could calculate UTC using the existing tokens:

Code: [Select]

{EXP:{TIMEHOUR} - ({DST} + 5)} {TIMEMINUTE}
The alternative to this one new Token would be 4 new Tokens: "{timeUTC}", "{TIMEUTC}", "{HOURUTC}", and "{HOURUTC24}".

On the todo list.  I think instead of all the tokens, I might just add an option to the Set DateTime screen (after 'current date/time').

[Gary]

This has been added as an option on the set date screen (last beta).  Hope you guys have found it

Thanks Gary, this should work nicely.


As an example, because it's not yet in the documentation from what I can see:

Code: [Select]

Set date [TIMEUTC] value to the current date/time (UTC)
Say, 'Current UTC time is {time:TIMEUTC}'

Any of the time related tokens take a "Date/Time" variable as an argument in this way(E.G. {DATEMONTHNUMERIC:DateVariable}).
