XF 2.2 Get datetime in user's context

[stromb0li]

My search-fu is failing me here. How do I obtain the current time, offset with the logged in user's timezone, vs server time inside my controller? Right now \Datetime will only obtain time based on server timezone.

You mean members' local time?
I use this add-on from Ozzy47:

[OzzModz] Members' Local Time

Oct 17, 2021

Show their local time

• Add-ons [2.x]

Not trying to display the date via template; trying to get the friendly string localized programmatically in the controller class.

\XF::language()->dateTime($someDateTimeOrTimestamp);

 

[stromb0li]

\XF::language()->dateTime($someDateTimeOrTimestamp);

Perfect! Thank you!

Sorry to bubble up an older thread, but if I have two controls to try and get the day and time (dateinput for day and input type of time for time), what is the best way to calculate the dateTime for that?

Right now my current approach is to datetime the day input, and then calculate the number of seconds from the time input; adding them both together.

That approach is ok.
