[chanikya]

Hi,

please help me how to get Logged-in User Time zone

i used below script in OnSubmit -Client Script working fine Native Ui side, coming to Portal side showing Javascript Error.

var id=g_user.userID;
var d;
var gr=new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('sys_id',id);
gr.query();
if(gr.next())
{
d=gr.time_zone;
alert(d);
}

use glide ajax here, 

client callable script include 

var HelloWorld = Class.create();
HelloWorld.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
   helloWorld:function() { 

var myUserObject = gs.getUser();



return myUserObject.getTZ(); 

} ,
   _privateFunction: function() { // this function is not client callable     
    }
 });

client script

var ga = new GlideAjax('HelloWorld');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'helloWorld');

ga.getXML(HelloWorldParse);
 
function HelloWorldParse(response) {
  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
  alert(answer); 
}

when i used GlideAjax it is working good.

i have different kind of requiremenet

when user clicked on "CANCEL " button first it should check User Time Zone, if time Zone matched then it should allow for cancellation other wise should not.

function onSubmit() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var id=g_user.userID;
var d;

var ajax = new GlideAjax('CallerTimeZone');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','timezone');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_id',id);
ajax.getXML(doSomething);

function doSomething(response)
{
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

alert(answer);

if(g_form.getActionName() == 'btn_cancel_tickets'){
if (answer.indexOf('Singapore') > 0)
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert('System Detected, you are using different time zone in Computer. Please change to Singapore Time Zone');
return false;
}
}
}
}

alert coming, Bold Code Part not Working
