I'm using this: #LSTimeFormat(Now(),"h:mm tt")#

To display the current local time on a website. I can't find any reference anywhere to setting an offset for the time zone for the display.

The HMS server is (obviously) on Eastern Time

My local site is on Mountain Time -- not practical to set the server time to MST because I have other sites which need to display current time in their local time zone. Surely there must be a simple timezone offset to set time on a site by site basis?

Any help would be appreciated - I'm not a full-time CF coder so my skills are limited currently.

You can include the a specific time zone to get the result you want ie:



Where zzz is your time zone like PST, MST, etc....

Thanks for the reply -

I added the time zone spec in this form:

#LSTimeFormat(Now(),"h:mm MST")#

This is what I have displayed on the page at 5:40pm MST: "12:40 35A"

It's consistently a 7 hour offset. I've confirmed that the date/time setting on the server is correct (I'm on a VPS)

Weird?? Any ideas??

My bad- that was for display purposes not conversion... here is something that should do the trick...
