This is useful for people using Discourse with a remote and distributed team to work on projects.

Usage

:warning: This plugin relies on the timezone field of a User being set. This field is available at the moment only when using discourse-calendar, so you need to have this plugin to use this component.

[wrap=group-timezones group=project-x-team][/wrap]
  • group is mandatory
  • size is optional and accepts: small, medium, large, auto

Settings

Name Description
working day start hour When the working day starts
working day end hour When the working day ends
close to working day hours extension How many hours around start/end working hours are acceptable if urgent to get in contact with someone
working days Which days of the week are worked
Translation Default

That’s a co-incidence @joffreyjaffeux because I was playing around with a visualisation for timezone overlap recently:

Love it, thanks!

Hi there! Does this theme component still work and/or is it still supported, or fully deprecated in favor of the calendar plugin? I tried using the markup in a topic with and without the calendar plugin enabled, but got a blank rendering each time.

Trying to tell if there’s still an existing (simple) way to display this TZ slider or something close to it.

I think that is because the calendar plugin is a hard requirement?

But since that I think we moved the timezone user field to core… So it may need an update to work with that.

Yes it’s inside calendar I think now right, I should deprecate this. Forgot about it as I didnt do the move.

This theme component seems to break on 2.7.0.beta7 with

Uncaught Error: Could not find module `discourse/lib/round-time` imported from `discourse/theme-72/widgets/discourse-group-timezones`

Is this still possible using just the calendar plugin?

The README of this component says:

DEPRECATED: This component is no longer necessary; all functionality has been moved into GitHub - discourse/discourse-calendar: Adds the ability to create a dynamic calendar in the first post of a topic.

Unfortunately i can’t figure out how to set up this view:

Hmm. Good shout. It seems we may not have updated the docs on this point. Let me see what I can find out.

@eve After a small explore, it seems this is possible to add to a topic using only the Calendar plugin using the format:

[timezones group="GROUP" size="big"]timezones[/timezones]

Thanks for taking a look!

[timezones group="GROUP" size="big"]timezones[/timezones]

This doesn’t work in our instance. But somehow the format

[wrap=group-timezones group=project-x-team][/wrap]

mentioned in the first topic now works. Yesterday nothing showed up. :person_shrugging:

I’m glad it’s working :slight_smile: Though it’s odd we’re getting different results. What version of Discourse are you using?

I’m running with 3.3.0.beta3-dev ( f0539afb02 )
