Re: Is the DateFormat read only?
I don't think it "strips" the TZ info - it simply ignores it. I think the key phrase is in the dictionary as : *Note:* The *convert* command assumes all dates / times are in local time except for 'the seconds', which is taken to be universal time. So it assume syou date is in local time (regardless of the +0300), and therefore your example returns + for you (I assume you're in the UK, or equivalent, now). It does the same for me, and returns the date with "+". However, the same code run on my LC server (wherever on-rev is these days), changes the +0300 to -0500 - i.e. it's taken as local time where the server is. I assume you should be able to do something with the TimeZone library - but I'm struggling to figure that out. local tNow put the seconds into tNow put FromUniversalTime(tNow,"US/Central") into tt put tNow && tt put FromUniversalTime(tNow,"US/Alaska") into tt put CR & tt after msg gives me 1604709030 1604709030 1604709030 so I don't have a clue what it was trying to do !?!

Re: Basic question: Time Zone Library
Hi, i am not sure if this is still the way how to do it with newer LC Server versions, but at least it still works with LC 9.6.1 First copy the folder of of the time zone library to your server for example into a folder extension Then, to use the library you'll have to put the following 2 lines before your time zone specific code. set the revLibraryMapping["tz"] to "/home/ua829968/public_html/livecode.dermattes.de/tz-test/extensions/com.livecode.library.timezone/code/x86_64-linux/tz.so" load extension from file "./extensions/com.livecode.library.timezone/module.lcm" //here comes your timezone script In the first line you define where the needed shared libraries are located. It must contain the complete path to the shared libraries. In the above example the shared library for 64bit Linux is used. The second line then loads the extension.

Basic question: Time Zone Library
Just created a handler that I want to use in a Livecode server that uses the Time Zone Library handler TimeZones(). So: 1. How do I find where the library is? 2. How do I add it so the server code can use it?

Re: Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?
Hi Matthias, Hmm, I should never do things when I’m tired. I do the following all the time with LC session variables and they do use the quotes. put $_SESSION["userid"] into Varuserid Yet the following works nicely and no array is needed: var amount1 = 23; var amount2 = 56; var total = amount1 + amount2; document.cookie = "AdditionResult=" + total + ";" " put "VarAdditionResult = " & VarAdditionResult put "" ?> So $_cookie[AdditionResult] and $_cookie[“AdditionResult”] are different variables? I will have to play around some more. I’m happy that at least something is working now. I just need to know why.

Re: Segmented Control Widget
I can see the advantages of doing it yourself and intend trying both methods as suggested by yourself and Jaqueline. I have noted when trying some of the widgets that they do seem to be rather incomplete.

Re: Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?
I doubt that the qoutes were the problem. ;) Your put $_cookie[username] will replace the content of the var username. In your case, if the value of variable username for example is Peter then LC would replace $_cookie[username] with $_cookie["Peter"] If username wasn't used before then LC uses username as the value of username In this case LC would replace $_cookie[username] with $_cookie["username"]. So for example put "hallo" into tArray["mytext"] put tArray["mytext"]--returns hallo put tArray[mytext] -- returns hallo put "test" into mytext put tArray[mytext] -- returns nothing So i am not sure, what the problem was, but definitely not the quotes. ;) Regards, Matthias - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 06.11.2020 um 03:54 schrieb Rick Harrison via use-livecode > : > > Hi Matthias, > > I found the problem. > > You had: put $_Cookie["username”] > > It shouldn’t have the quotes. > > put $_Cookie[username] > > works fine. > > I think I made the same mistake sometime!
