Please add support for Time Zone selection and display as this will obviously vary.

Hi there,

Perhaps it would be best if you can submit a feature request regarding this issues by creating a new ticket on the forums and set it to "Feature Request" so that everyone else could vote for it. We will prioritize this feature during the development process for the next major version of EasySocial if there are more people request on this.

Thanks @Abdul,

I wouldn't mind doing that but honestly, the feature request section doesn't seem to carry much weight. Voices (when it was around) made more sense because we could see what the team was going to do. Now we have no clue. Also, in all honesty, this doesn't seem to me to be a feature request, more of a forgotten setting because for any social network it would be important to understand the timezone in relation to the server, otherwise how does the app know if the business is actually open or not? I saw on the frontend it is using UTC so something is hardcoded somewhere for that.

totally agree, hard to cover all the user generated feature requests in the separate component subforums here.

Hi there,

Currently, it will always took servers timezone in order to detects those pages timezones. It will required us to do heavy modifications on the apps in order to achieve this By requesting them on voices, we will monitors them from time to time and see if those options are reasonable, we will consider to implement them on our systems.

By the way, we do showcase them as you can see here http://take.ms/17Tqja. Thanks for your understanding.

@Warith, can you explain this:

Honestly, I think the app should have been written according to the idea that a social network can be global therefore taking into account the fact that pages can be related to businesses near and far from the centralized business. In other words, I view Pages as a directory for businesses. Businesses are global and the app should be as well.

I would urge this to be considered for ES 3.0

With regards to voices, it was nice when we had its forums. It gave us as website creators the ability to really steer the development of EasySocial assuming the development team took interest to our ideas. Forums are easily overlooked in my opinion.

Thank you,
James

Hi James,

@Warith, can you explain this:

Once you have added those hours fields on your page workflows and saved them. You can see this options(layout) on your Page timeline. But those timezone will always based on your site's timezone. It purpose is to differentiate your current user's timezone and your page timezone.

I would urge this to be considered for ES 3.0

Would be best if you can create us a feature request for this. We eventually will do some meetings(developers) and looks all those feature request.

Hope you understand James.
