Time offset tamper

It's interesting as we just had a related discussion in the ECA issue queue about a time zone topic here: 🌱 Example model for working with Dates, Timezones and Daylight Savings Time Fixed

Looking into the patch and reading the comment from @mmaranao I wonder if this could be done as a tamper plugin that extends the existing timestamp-to-date plugin with the enhancements, that a time zone can be selected, and the tamper plugin would then do all the necessary math to format the given timestamp for the selected time zone. That could be done by using the DateTime class from PHP and would then also allow all the "strange" timezones like "+4:30" and others too.

I worked out an updated patch that may allow for better functionality, This patch adds a Timezone select list.

The last submitted patch, 6: 0001-Issue-3268276-Reworking-timezones.patch, failed testing. View results →

This looks great to me, I guess you only need to add this new plugin to the schema file to fix the tests. And maybe the timezone field should be declared required in the config form. Other than that, it is really helpful and much appreciated.

Thanks for the patch! In order for this to be merged, automated tests are needed as well. And I see some coding standard violations.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll work on these items to move things forward.
- clean up for coding standards
- declared timezone field as required in the config form
- add tests

Patch works for offsetting time only, could it be extended to handle date offset so one can get a date with a '-3 months' offset?

Hi, i have created a simple Dateoffset plugin according to TimeOffset.

Base data is timestamp too, and you can use tokens in the offset field like: "+[token] month".

Please review the code, i didn’t had much time, just needed the function.

@nitrocad your patch failed for me.

@nitrocad @eswiderski that's not a patch, that's a PHP source file renamed to .txt
It appears to also have some issues such as missing definition for config name and mixing of tab and space indentation.
I have corrected these issues in a new patch file.

Thanks for your contribution! Can you put your changes in a MR? The testbot on drupal.org no longer looks at patches, so changes need to be in a MR now if you want that the code eventually gets added to the module.
