Quick question about dynamic {{dc:user:registration_time}}

[TristanP]

Hi!

I was wondering how {{dc:user:registration_time}} works. Is this local time for the user? Or is this based on the server time?

So, let’s say my server is Amsterdam based. If a user registers from New York City, local time 12:00 AM, does it return 12:00 AM for him? Or would it return 16:00?

Hey Tristan,

It’s the time in GMT or UTC the user was registered or added to the site. For example, the user registered 7:00 PM GMT +8. It will display 11:00 AM because that’s the UTC equivalent.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Is there a way to echo the local time for the user?

HI Tristan,

It might be possible by either a plugin or a custom code. Check this article please. Unfortunately, both of this option are outside the scope of our support because this is not issue with the theme. I made some google search where you can start with as guidance. Please check this: http://usefulangle.com/post/31/detect-user-browser-timezone-name-in-php. You might need to consult a developer in case you’re not familiar on coding. Thank you for understanding.

Hope this helps.
