Title: Time difference between countries Last modified: July 24, 2023 --- # Time difference between countries * Resolved [fibbu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fibbu/) * (@fibbu) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-difference-between-countries/) * Hello; * Thank you for this nice plugin. Can we calculate the time difference between countries? The user will select the country with a dropdown menu.Example : Option 1 chose USA / AlaskaOption 2 chose France * In conclusion; It will write the USA / Alaska time 24/07/2023 14:50It will write the time of France 24/07/2023 15:50It will write the time difference as 1 hour as the result.Thanks.

You can calculate the time difference, but the solution depends on your form structure. * For example, if you have two date/time fields in the form with only time components to allow the users to enter them (fieldname1 and fieldname2). Insert a calculated field in the form, and enter an equation similar to the following one: * ```wp-block-code (function(){ var d = DATEDIFF(fieldname1, fieldname2, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:ii', 'h'); return d['hours']+' hours and '+d['minutes']+' minutes'; })() ``` * If you have only two dropdown fields with places, I recommend entering the places’ names as their choices’ texts and the time zones as their values (like France 1 and Alaska -9). The equation would be: * ```wp-block-code ABS(fieldname1-fieldname2) ``` * Best regards. * Thread Starter [fibbu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fibbu/) * (@fibbu) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-difference-between-countries/#post-16918560) * So how do we get the current time of the country? I made a dropdown menu. Argentine( A) and Brazil (B). In summary, how can we apply the time zones of all countries? Your calculation method makes sense yes. * Thread Starter [fibbu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fibbu/) * (@fibbu) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-difference-between-countries/#post-16918579) * [Sample](https://saat-farki.hesaplama.net/) * Plugin Author [codepeople](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codepeople/) * (@codepeople) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-difference-between-countries/#post-16918833) * Hello [@fibbu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fibbu/) * You must enter the time zones in the dropdown fields. * Each choice in the DropDown fields contains two input boxes for the choice’s text and value, respectively. You must enter the time zones as the choices’ values and country names as the choices’ texts. * You must determine the current time zone to calculate the date/time in the countries selected in the dropdown fields (fieldname1, fieldname2). The equation would be similar to: * ```wp-block-code (function(){ var current_timezone = new Date().getTimezoneOffset()/(-60), result = NOW(); result.setHours(result.getHours()-current_timezone+fieldname1); result.setHours(result.getHours()+fieldname2); return GETDATETIMESTRING(result, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh:ii a'); })() ``` * Please, note the plugin support does not cover the implementation of the users’ projects.

I made the clocks of the countries with the method you said. Only one minor problem remained. * jQuery(‘.criter-one’).html**(‘Saat Farkı: ‘);** * (‘Saat Farkı: ‘); How to print the selected Country name in Dropdown?

Ex. * ```wp-block-code ``` * Best regards.
