User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone/doc

With this userbox you let everyone know what time it is at your place, simply by providing your time zone.

It makes use of the {{Current hour in time zone}} and {{Current minute in time zone}} templates, which automatically adjust the time according to daylight saving time (DST). Please refer to the documentation of those templates to see which time zones are supported. Instead of giving a time zone, an offset can also be given (see below).

Clicking the refresh icon will refresh the time by purging your user page.

Usage

See below for examples.

{{User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone |replace with time zone abbreviation or hour offset |replace with minute offset (only works if hour offset is used) |12h=no |24h=yes |dst=yes |place= |text=where this user lives |bg-c=#e2f2ff |border-c=#2475cd |text-c=#444444 |icon=File:Crystal Clear app clock.svg}}

Parameter			Default value	Possible values	Description	Required
Name		Meaning
(1)		time zone abbreviation	none	any abbreviation supported by both {{Current hour in time zone}} and {{Current minute in time zone}} (e.g. EST)	The abbreviation of your time zone. If dst=no, different types of abbreviations of the same time zone (e.g. CET and CEST) will produce different results. Otherwise (i.e. automatic daylight saving time adjustment is enabled, which is the default), the results will be the same and the abbreviations can be used interchangeably.	yes
or	(1)	hour offset	none	any positive or negative whole number (e.g. -3, 1, 5)	The hour offset from UTC time, given instead of a time zone abbreviation. Note that the time will not be automatically adjusted according to daylight saving time when using this option.
	(2)	minute offset	0	any positive or negative whole number (e.g. -30, 45)	The minute offset from UTC+(hour offset) time. Has only effect when an hour offset is being used.	no
12h		12-hour clock	no	yes or no	Either parameter can be used to get a 12-hour clock instead of a 24-hour clock.	no
24h		24-hour clock	yes	yes or no		no
dst		auto daylight saving time	yes	yes or no	Automatic daylight saving time adjustment toggle. Use dst=no to disable the automatic adjustment; this affects the chosen time zone abbreviation type (as discussed above). Has only effect when a time zone abbreviation is being used and when DST is usually being observed in (part of) that time zone.	no
place		geographic place name	none	any place name, possibly wikilinked	The name of the place where you live, for example, which will be added between parentheses behind the text. This also adds [[Category:Wikipedians in <place>]] to your user page if that category exists (but only if the place is not wikilinked).	no
text		alternative prose	where this user lives	any line of text	Use to insert your own text.	no
bg-c		userbox background color	#e2f2ff	any web color	Use to set a different background color.	no
border-c		userbox border color	#2475cd	any web color	Use to set a different border color.	no
text-c		userbox text color	#444444	any web color	Use to set a different text color.	no
icon		clock icon	File:Crystal Clear app clock.svg	any image	Use to set a different icon.	no
