Hi,
I set my machine to local time, so $current.dateTime gives me 18.09.2021 10:13.
Is there a tag to get the UTC time (like $current.dateTime .UTC) ?
I want to display both times as I added some sat pictures which includes the UTC time on the picture. To get a better overview I want the UTC time additional in my skin printed out..
Thanks in advance,
Christian

There is no tag to display the current dateTime value in UTC/GMT. You will need to manually construct a tag with a little in-template python code. A simple approach is to add something like the following (untested) to your template:
#import time
#set $utc = $time.strftime(‘%d %B %Y %H:%M:%S’, $time.gmtime($current.dateTime.raw))
should allow you to use the tag $utc later in your template to display the current dateTime as UTC. The formatting is controlled by the format string in the $time.gmtime() call. The available format codes can be found here.
There are other more complex approaches depending on your need.

Gary,
thanks for this code snippet! It would satisfy my needs, but I can't get it to run and didn't see the problem as my skills are limited regarding cheetha and python.
You lines raises this error:

The formatting seems somehow not to work I think:
$time.strftime(‘%d %B %Y %H:%M:%S’...
If I place this
#set $utc = $time.gmtime($current.dateTime.raw)
in my code I get this output on my html site for $utc:
time.struct_time(tm_year=2021, tm_mon=9, tm_mday=19, tm_hour=6, tm_min=19, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=262, tm_isdst=0)
Any hint or idea what could be wrong?

Christian,
Check the quotation marks around the format string. If you copied and pasted from the post chances are you have something other than single/double quotes, python is picky about how you terminate a string, somewhat more so than Google. Unfortunately the new and improved Google groups took away the code blocks.

Gary,
thanks, ok, changing the single quotes solves the issue and I could add the UTC to my time output additional..
#import time
#set $utc = $time.strftime('%H:%M', $time.gmtime($current.dateTime.raw))
#set $utc = $time.strftime('%H:%M', $time.gmtime($current.dateTime.raw))
Really odd Google removes code blocks in groups....!? :-O
Now I get the output I want:
19.09.2021 10:31 (08:31 UTC)
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Christian
