Timezone for timestamp - Githubissues

bartbutenaers commented 3 years ago

@cymplecy,

Saw that in the past you also had asked me the following on Discourse:

My one other request is to have some method of getting the local time instead of UTC At the moment I have to do something like this

Could I suggest an extra block called local timestamp or server timestamp or timezone timestamp etc Or preferably a dropdown menu in the timestamp block if such an addition wouldn't break the existing block?_

I have pushed a change to Github:

Now the existing timestamp field looks like this:
UTC is used by default
When "UTC" is selected, this code will be generated:
```
new Date().getTime();
```

When "local" is selected, this code will be generated:

new Date().getTime() - new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;

Hopefully this is what you had in mind?

Looks good-will test later-just watching euro football

Sorry for delay - works great - I don't think I'll have any JavaScript left in my nodes after this and the environment variable changes :)

And congratulations on the win tonight - best match of the tournament so far :)
