It is not practical for you to hard code 'CST' into your template unless you are the only one that sees the template (by injecting it into some of your pages with custom Javascript for example), because the CURRENTTIME will differ for each user depending upon how they have specified their offset from UTC on their Special:Preferences page. LOCALTIME returns the server time, which is not terribly helpful in an international project, and even less so here since it follows the German daylight savings rules. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
