PWI Server Status

BareBear - Lost City

I noticed today that they modified the pwi-status display pretty nicely, and here .
Any chance we can get exactly the same thing for our own sites? I've got a basic one working but I gotta admit this is really nice.

That has been there for a while and it is broken b/c whoever made it obviously don't know how to force flash to display time in a particular timezone not the local time (which isn't that hard)

BareBear - Lost City

LOL, nice catch, i never even noticed that. Yep, I had to learn how to do that for our guild site.

Yes, I liked the old widget that showed all the servers. I've tried several ways of re-creating it and can't seem to.

If you noticed that take a look at this b:chuckle

It's not done in Flash, it's done in JavaScript.

I sent the fixed JavaScript to FrankieRaye, but they haven't implemented it.

Then again, the servers themselves don't seem to be doing Daylight Saving Time properly, so my fixed code which does do Daylight Saving Time properly conflicts with the servers this week. b:chuckle

a mod posted in a thread and it's not locked afterwards? b:puzzled

Anyone else thinks this should be stickied?b:question

edit: and hello der Sang havnt seen you before

Well it was originally in flash when I first saw it...

So they apparently did change something only to have it still not work

Any chance we can get the script for making widgets on our guild sites? I would love to have a server status widget for the guildies.

I dont know why, but I think I may have a problem with that server status. I'm in Brazil (GMT -3) and the status shows the west coast time as my own time and east coast +3 hours.
(Like, now its 3:37pm and the west coast shows 3:37 pm and East 6:37 pm). Thats not right, since west coast should be my time minus 4 hours (if I'm not mistaken).

Sorry about the english

GM's are already aware of this, but thanks!

Well, I suppose I can post the modified JavaScript I wrote, but you'll have to pull anything else you need from the status page's HTML and CSS.

First, remove the reference to "templates/common/js/time.js", my code modifies that code. Then replace everything after the line with that reference down to the "</script>" with this:

<script type="text/javascript">

lt = new Date();  // Local time
wct = new Date(); // West Coast time
ect = new Date(); // East Coast time
d = 0;

setTimes();
setInterval("writeTime()", 1000);

function dotime(unix, x){
				now = new Date();
				now.setTime(unix);
				hr= now.getHours();
				mn= now.getMinutes();
				se= now.getSeconds();
				yr = now.getFullYear();
				mo = now.getMonth();
				dy = now.getDate();
				var mths = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
				if(se < 10) {
					se = '0'+se;
				}
				if(mn < 10) {
					mn = '0'+mn;
				}
				if(hr >= 12) {
					hr = hr - 12;
					if(hr == 0) {
						hr = 12;
					} else if (hr < 10) {
						hr = hr;
					} else {
						hr = hr;
					}
					am = 'PM';
				} else {
					am = 'AM';
				}
				if(dy < 10) {
					dy = '0'+dy;
				}
				
				if(hr == 0){
					
					hr = 12;
					
				}
				
				//date_view_var =''+mths[mo]+' '+dy+', '+yr;
				time_view_var =hr+':'+mn+':'+se;
				
				if(x){
					
					return am;
					
				}else{
					
					return time_view_var;
				}
					
			}

function writeTime(){

	d += 1000;

	msecs = wct.getTime() + d;
	str = dotime(msecs, false);
	str2 = dotime(msecs, true);

	msecs = ect.getTime() + d;
	str3 = dotime(msecs, false);
	str4 = dotime(msecs, true);

	msecs = lt.getTime() + d;
	str5 = dotime(msecs, false);
	str6 = dotime(msecs, true);
	
	$('#pwi_stat_server_times').find('p').eq(0).find('span').eq(0).text(str + ' ');
	$('#pwi_stat_server_times').find('p').eq(0).find('em').eq(0).text(str2);

	$('#pwi_stat_server_times').find('p').eq(1).find('span').eq(0).text(str3 + ' ');
	$('#pwi_stat_server_times').find('p').eq(1).find('em').eq(0).text(str4);

	$('#my_time').text(str5 + ' ' + str6);
	
}

function setTimes(){
  var lsm = new Date;
  var lso = new Date;
  var dst = 0;

    // convert to msec since Jan 1 1970
    localTimeMsec = lt.getTime();
    // obtain local UTC offset in minutes and convert to msec
    localOffset = lt.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
    // obtain UTC time in msec
    utc = localTimeMsec + localOffset;
    lsm.setMonth(2); // March
    lsm.setDate(1);
    var day = lsm.getDay(); // day of week of 1st
    if (day == 0) { // find 2nd Sunday
        lsm.setDate(8);
      } else {
        lsm.setDate(14-day);
      }
    lso.setMonth(10); // November
    lso.setDate(1);
    day = lso.getDay();
    if (day > 0) { // find 1st Sunday
        lso.setDate(7-day);
      }
    if (lt < lsm || lt >= lso) {
        dst = 0;  //Not Daylight Saving Time
      } else {
        dst = 1;  //Daylight Saving Time
      }
    if (dst == 1) {  //Daylight Saving Time
        wct.setTime(utc + (3600000*-7));
        ect.setTime(utc + (3600000*-4));
      } else {       //Not Daylight Saving Time
        wct.setTime(utc + (3600000*-8));
        ect.setTime(utc + (3600000*-5));
      }
}

</script>

Short description of what that does, it gets the local time, figures out what GMT is from that, then gives the times for the East Coast and West Coast servers.

However, until they either fix the servers to do Daylight Saving Time properly or next week when DST ends, the above code will be off by an hour, since I assumed they were doing DST correctly. b:surrender Just modify the DST handling code if you want it to match the pre-2007 system for DST in the US if you want to match the servers.

I just noticed that I handle changing DST more or less properly, but I ignore the hour. So it sets the clock back at midnight local time, instead of 2 AM Pacific Time and 2 AM Eastern Time.

So, if the servers did do DST properly, my code would be off by an hour on the days DST start and end for some of the day in most time zones. Probably not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it.
