Hi,

i am not sure if this is still the way how to do it with newer LC Server versions, but at least it still works with LC 9.6.1

First copy the folder of of the time zone library to your server for example into a folder extension

Then, to use the library you'll have to put the following 2 lines before your time zone specific code.

set the revLibraryMapping["tz"] to "/home/ua829968/public_html/livecode.dermattes.de/tz-test/extensions/com.livecode.library.timezone/code/x86_64-linux/tz.so"
load extension from file "./extensions/com.livecode.library.timezone/module.lcm"
//here comes your timezone script



In the first line you define where the needed shared libraries are located. It must contain the complete path to the shared libraries. In the above example the shared library for 64bit Linux is used. The second line then loads the extension.
