Installation

Important: This app is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)

Step 1 - Install app

Make sure you are in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the latest version:

pip install aa-timezones

Step 2 - Update your AA settings

Configure your AA settings (local.py) as follows:

• Add 'timezones', to INSTALLED_APPS

Step 3 - Finalize the installation

Run migrations & copy static files

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Restart your supervisor services for AA

Once done, it's time to add all the time zone informations, so you can define your own set of panels later. To do so, simply run:

python manage.py timezones_load_tz_data

pip install -U aa-timezones

python manage.py collectstatic

python manage.py migrate

Now restart your AA supervisor services.

Configure Timezone Panels

Per default there are 10 additional time zone panels that are displayed (see first image). If you want to change those, you can create your own set of panels in your admin backend.

NOTE: "Local Time" and "EVE Time" will always be displayed as the first two panels, no matter what.

Adjusting Time

You can easiely adjust the time that is displayed for all timezones. This is useful for reinforcement timers or pre-planned fleets. To do so, click on the "Adjust Time" button below the time zone panels and you will see 2 different ways to set a new time.

The first one is meant for timers, like reinforcement timers, anchoring timers or the like. It's maximum is 7 day, 59 minutes and 59 seconds into the future. That should cover pretty much all timers you can find in Eve Online.

The second one is best suited for pre-planned fleets. Here you can set a fixed date and time based on the selected time zone. The default selected time zone is "EVE Time" but you can change it to all the available options. Keep in mind, the selected time zone is the one the time and date will be adjusted to. So if you are going to use it to plan fleets it is recommanded to keep this set to "EVE Time".

To set the adjusted time, simply click on "Set Time" in the row you altered. This will than adjust all time zone panels to the time you selected and will also alter the link in your browser, so you can share it with others directly.
