Setting the times of events based on the Front-End visitors timezone

[Jason Frey]

Is there a way to have the time displayed on the site changed based on the visitors current time zone? This is different from the Event location timezone.

For example:
Mary is CST and is looking at “Basketball Game” which starts at 6pm CST.
Bob is EST and is looking at the same event “Basketball Game”, but since he’s in EST, the event shows 7pm EST, instead of 6pm CST.

Hi, Jason.

I believe you’re requesting the same thing as one of our existing feature requests: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/20016133-display-events-automatically-in-web-visitor-s-time

Please do add your vote there.

This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

Thank you.

Thank you. Based on your response I assume this is not something that is natively done with the plugin? Is there anything I can do while this is being implemented or no.

[Cliff]

Correct. We don’t have any functionality here (although I’m personally a fan of the idea!)

https://momentjs.com/ is the most popular way to accomplish this (and it’s already bundled with The Events Calendar), but I’d guess it’d need quite a bit of custom coding all around our plugins.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
