Get SharePoint Server datetime

Question

I was working on a functionality where we had to fetch list items from server using ECMA script (SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model) based on current datetime. The problem is that the datetime we were using to filter was that of the client machine which was different from that of server; the reason being, the client and the server were located in different timezones.

Please help me to find a way to get sharepoint server time using Javascript ClientObjectModel. The other restriction we have is that, we are not allowed to do any server side coding.

Answer 1

This question may help you find a solution: Getting date and time from SharePoint Server 2007 and throw it to Javascript variable

They suggest that you create a content editor web part on the page, put some JavaScript to set the date, and use inline server-side tags (if enabled) to print the server date/time.

Answer 2

We have the same question. Answer here: JavaScript SP.CamlQuery() return DateTime fields with offset (in my case +11 hours)

But we have to use server insert in our web-part.

In you case in JS function dateTimeCalculateConsideringWebRegionalSettings you have to multiplied utcOffsetMinutes by -1

Answer 3

I can imagine some workaround - I think you can update an item in some list via client object model and then check the standard "Modified" datetime column for the updated item. It doesn't give you exactly current time but close to it. :)

Answer 4

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");
</script>

By using the above JavaScript you can get the local time of your server.
