Closed - Timezone support: looking for beta testers

Please add me to the beta. Thanks!

Sign me up as well. GMT -3 hours.

UTC+1 here. Can you add me as well? Thanks!

Yes please! Finland time zone!

Please add me to the beta. I’m from Russia, Siberia, Tomks. UTC+7

Hi! Please include me from Malaysia GMT+8. Thanks!

You can include me too. (Stockholm)

I thought timezones were now added to coda publicly?

Last time I checked, I found currentTimezone() and documentTimezone() functions (both return an object with two fields: name and offset). They might’ve not been there just a week ago, or maybe I simply overlooked them, but since a few days ago I definitely see them.

I see currentTimezone() and documentTimezone(), but… where do I set/ change the document timezone? Thanks!

I guess I can just calculate it with these two functions… I find it counterintuitive, but it works.

Dear @cblock, @Paul_Danyliuk

Pls. see the screenshot below, when you click on the settings from the right you will see the list with timezones to chose from.
Note: each doc timezones need to be set manually, if you didn’t create the doc yourselve

:bulb:
I am not sure, but assume that you have to request to be added to this feature

Yeah, I don’t see this in the menu (btw I didn’t even know there was a menu)

@cblock yeah, that’s what I did. Feel free to steal the Time settings table and formulas from here.

@Jean_Pierre_Traets Thanks for the screenshot. Yeah… I don’t even have the Setting option there.

Thanks to all. This is what I did:

nowLocal = Now() + Hours(AbsoluteValue(DocumentTimezone().CurrentOffset)+AbsoluteValue(CurrentTimezone().CurrentOffset))

@cblock Why would you use AbsoluteValue though? Offsets can be negative. If CurrentTimezone is New York (-5 or -4, I don’t remember) and DocumentTimezone is -7 (San Francisco) this will mess up your time and add 12 hours instead of 2.

Correct would be nowLocal = Now() + Hours(CurrentTimezone().CurrentOffset - DocumentTimezone().CurrentOffset)

Count me in Legends!

True! Thanks for the correction.
I think I was just happy to quickly make it work (with the Hours() function) and I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Hi all, wanted to let you know that we’ve just turned on the feature for all users. Thanks to those of you who helped test the changes and contribute feedback! See this post for more:
