Time Zone offset needed for MTG weather (behind by one day)
First, I love this app. But, the mtg weather tile is always a day behind. Today, is April 9 and the tile starts on April 8. Is there something I missed in the config.
Answer
Hi Ned,
What timezone are you in? I believe the bug is that MTG bases the "first day" on a certain timezone (likely UTC or maybe PST where the cloud center is), and will include that day as the "first day" even until 2359h UTC or PST.
I would prefer not to try to infer timezone based on the Location; so if we enhance the script, we would consider offering a timezone offset parameter so that we could attempt to shift the data scrape accordingly.
Timezone settings would be great.
I know now what is causing this, so I'm good.
Thanks
I've changed this into a Feature Request.
The MTG module is distinct from the rest of ActionTiles because it is a set of PHP scripts (vs Javascript, etc. for the app). We'll have to experiment to see if just adding a parameter and a few calculations has the desired effect. We'll keep this post updated with any progress.
Thanks,
...Terry.
