Hi,
Perhaps this is the wrong group for this, but as here is a lot of SharePoint knowledge I try it.
I have the following problem:
I created a site, which highly uses SPServices for all kind of tasks. The site is critical regarding the used timezones when records are created and updated.
So it is important, that the users set their timezone in the regional settings. I also added a big info on the start page, that the users have to check their regional settings.
But, as always, users are lazy ;-)
What I would like to do is, to update the users regional settings (primary the timezone) automatically, when he/she is visiting the page.
I googled a lot, but only found a solution which involves "real" programming, but I only have "normal" access to the site.
I know how to read the users regional settings and how to get the users local settings but have several problems:
- The timezone in SharePoint is only a string and doesn't includes daylight savings time. How can this securely be matched to the Javascript timezone info?
- How can I update the regional setting of a user only with Javascript?
I really appreciate all possible hints and/or tips.
Joerg
