Has anyone figured out how to detect time zones of users without asking for their current location?
I want to store that info in our DB and also change some time fields to reflect the current user’s time zone.
I figure this will be helpful for anyone.

You can determine the timezone by getting the current Date/Time and formatting as: Z

Search the forums, but there is timezone handling built in, less chance of messing things up than manually manipulating!

Just keep in mind that current time is taken from users browser. If you want to validate time then you need to get the IP or the current location.

Is there any way of Doing A Search For Timezone based on Latitute/Long/Google Maps address?
SOLVED: Change Thing to Address type and use Timezone ID display in a text element.
