or if you know the UTC / GMT time difference of your doctors,
you can use the DateConvert CF function with the local2utc attrib.
e.g.
...
// Get current UTC time and add the time difference
VARIABLES.currUTCdateTime = DateConvert("local2utc", now());
VARIABLES.regionDateTime = DateAdd("h", VARIABLES.timeDiffSign &
VARIABLES.timeDiffHours, VARIABLES.currUTCdateTime);
VARIABLES.regionDateTime = DateAdd("n", VARIABLES.timeDiffSign &
VARIABLES.timeDiffMins, VARIABLES.regionDateTime);
...
where:
- regionDateTime is the current client datetime
- timeDiffSign takes values + or - (representing time ahead or behind)
- timeDiffHours => hours value of the client <=> UTC time difference
- timeDiffMins => mins value of the client <=> UTC time difference
this sol'n would work internationally.
the only thing is you might have to take into account daylight savings
during summer.
