XF 1.3 How to display timezone in user's Account -> Information ?

[DistortedDorian]

Hey there,

I'm wondering how I can display timezone in user's Account -> Information, which template do I need to edit?

You can create a custom profile field for this where users can input their time zone.

Hey,
timezone field already exists in /account/preference and I want it to be displayed in user's Account -> Information (look at the screenshot)

How would I use custom user field for that?
I would have to add every timezone manually then, would I? And a option to change timezone already exists in /account/preference but it's not displayed in user's Account -> Information.

No, allow the members to input their own.

I've already told you how you can accomplish this.

Most likely will require a add-on to automatically display a users time zone as the information is not available to the member_view template.

That would work but is not the results the OP is looking for I assume.

Sorry, but it's not the right solution that i'm looking for.

I think that would actually require only template modification because I was able to add the Time Zone: question in Registration template.
But I can't find the right code for adding that to member_view.

<xen:if is="{$user.timezone}">
<dl><dt>{xen:phrase time_zone}:</dt><dd>{$user.timezone}</dd></dl>
</xen:if>

Added it somewhere after the other fields (gender, birthday, etc.). Produces this:


Haven't figured out how to show the full value although.

Thank you!
It's best so far, any other suggestions?

Hmm, I tried your code but it's not working for me, I pasted it under <xen:if is="{$user.occupation}"> and I fixed all the spaces (tabs)

 

[Andrej]

Did you edit the template corresponding to the correct style? There is no reason this code shouldn't work. Make sure it is a separate entity as well.

Hmmm, can you perhaps do a screenshot of your member_view or paste it on pastebin?

I'm not sure what is mine looks like this:

this code pretty much is broken because it's copy & pasted so here is a pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/RxxBdTXD
I did this in member_view, is that right template and do I need to edit something else?
I have Xenforo 1.3.1.

 

[Andrej]

Its the correct template. Not sure why you have duplicate code in line 30 and 35? If you still not manage to get it to work, and if you are comfortable providing Admin CP access, start a conversation with me. Not sure why you would have problems with such simple edit.
