# Time Zone Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Time Zone plugin allows users to search a time zone.
|
|
|
|
## Special functions (differ from the regular functions)
|
|
|
|
* Search for a country, like Kamchatka, Prince Edward Island, France
|
|
* Search for a shortcuts, like WEST, UTC, PST
|
|
* Search for a offset, like -12:00, -7, 5, 9:30
|
|
* Search for a military time zone name (must activate in plugin settings)
|
|
|
|
## How to add a new time zone or change one
|
|
|
|
All time zones are located in `TimeZone.json` in root folder of the project.
|
|
The `TimeZone.json` use a JSON schema file that make it easier to edit it.
|
|
|
|
| Key | Optional | Value type |
|
|
| ------------------- | -------- | ----------------- |
|
|
| `Offset` | **No** | String |
|
|
| `Name` | Yes | String |
|
|
| `MilitaryName` | Yes | String |
|
|
| `Shortcut` | Yes | String |
|
|
| `TimeNamesStandard` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
| `TimeNamesDaylight` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
| `ShortcutsStandard` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
| `ShortcutsDaylight` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
| `CountriesStandard` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
| `CountriesDaylight` | Yes | List with strings |
|
|
|
|
A minimum entry for the `TimeZone.json` looks like:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Offset": "11:55",
|
|
"Name": "My crazy time zone",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A full entry for the `TimeZone.json` looks like:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Offset": "11:55",
|
|
"Name": "My crazy time zone",
|
|
"Shortcut" : "MYTZ",
|
|
"MilitaryName" : "Order Time Zone",
|
|
"TimeNamesStandard": [
|
|
"My crazy standard time"
|
|
],
|

"ShortcutsStandard": [

|
|
],
|
|
"ShortcutsDaylight": [
|

"MCDT"
|
|
],
|
|
"CountriesStandard": [
|
|
"Crazy Land East"
|
|
],
|
|
"CountriesDaylight": [
|
|
"Crazy Land West"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```

|
Because the JSON file must have a object as root type, instead of a array.
