Wondering if time stamps can shift depending upon the person's location?

We’re going to start opening up our classes to people on the east coast and was wondering if there’s any dynamic way for the time of the class to be dependent upon where the person is located? Or do people just include the (PST) after the hours when they need this?

Hi there,

In short, the only way to know the visitors timezone is to ask their browser, which can be done but isn’t all that reliable so usually isn’t done. You can do it with a user account where you have to set the timezone on your account, but that doesn’t work for EE when most users don’t require visitors to log in ๐Ÿ™‚

So…

Or do people just include the (PST) after the hours when they need this?

Yes, that’s how most people have done this so far.

Something like this: https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/fae7eb5a8869bb11b703ad72c3eb2e1f
