Time Zone/Sync Feature #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
One of the features we're working on to bring to the next release of the
epiClock is an ajax driven time synchronization and zone switcher. Every
200 seconds or so (a default granularity which can be increased or
decreased or disabled by the user) will go out to a time services, fetch an
XML document of the current time, and resync the clock.

In addition, this will allow us to present the user with a time zone option
for a given clock that can be hardcoded upon creation, and/or available to
an on-the-fly change (by the visitor to the site via a dropdown box or link
or something).

Scrapped the sync feature as I couldn't find an interface I liked to work with 
to fetch the current NTP time, but if 
you know one, let me know. It is a nice little feature I would like to get 
working, at some point.

Also, because I really hated doing time zones, and because the rules and 
exceptions to the rules are so varied, 
you can implement time zones using the new, way more robust offset system to do 
your time zone work.
