| :discourse2: | **Summary** | **Group Timezones** can help you display people of a group in a timezone ordered list. It will also show who is on holiday/week-end/out of working hours. |

### Features
This is useful for people using Discourse with a remote and distributed team to work on projects.
### Usage
⚠ This plugin relies on the `timezone` field of a User being set. This field is available at the moment only when using [discourse-calendar](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar), so you need to have this plugin to use this component.
```plaintext
[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 @j.jaffeux 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
```plaintext
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. · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar)
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:
```plaintext
[timezones group="GROUP" size="big"]timezones[/timezones]
```

Thanks for taking a look!
```plaintext
[timezones group="GROUP" size="big"]timezones[/timezones]
```
This doesn’t work in our instance. But somehow the format
```plaintext
[wrap=group-timezones group=project-x-team][/wrap]
```
mentioned in the first topic now works. Yesterday nothing showed up. 🤷

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