Bugzilla::WebService::Bugzilla - Global functions for the webservice interface.
This provides functions that tell you about Bugzilla in general.
See Bugzilla::WebService for a description of how parameters are passed, and what STABLE, UNSTABLE, and EXPERIMENTAL mean.
versionSTABLE
Returns the current version of Bugzilla.
A hash with a single item,
version,
that is the version as a string.
extensionsEXPERIMENTAL
Gets information about the extensions that are currently installed and enabled in this Bugzilla.
A hash with a single item,
extensions.
This points to a hash.
That hash contains the names of extensions as keys,
and the values are a hash.
That hash contains a single key version,
which is the version of the extension,
or 0 if the extension hasn't defined a version.
The return value looks something like this:
extensions => {
Example => {
version => '3.6',
},
BmpConvert => {
version => '1.0',
},
}
timezoneDEPRECATED This method may be removed in a future version of Bugzilla. Use "time" instead.
Returns the timezone that Bugzilla expects dates and times in.
A hash with a single item, timezone, that is the timezone offset as a string in (+/-)XXXX (RFC 2822) format.
+0000 (the UTC timezone).timeSTABLE
Gets information about what time the Bugzilla server thinks it is, and what timezone it's running in.
A struct with the following items:
db_timedateTime The current time in UTC, according to the Bugzilla database server.
Note that Bugzilla assumes that the database and the webserver are running in the same time zone. However, if the web server and the database server aren't synchronized for some reason, this is the time that you should rely on for doing searches and other input to the WebService.
web_timedateTime This is the current time in UTC, according to Bugzilla's web server.
This might be different by a second from db_time since this comes from a different source. If it's any more different than a second, then there is likely some problem with this Bugzilla instance. In this case you should rely on the db_time, not the web_time.
web_time_utcIdentical to web_time. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
tz_namestring The literal string UTC. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
tz_short_namestring The literal string UTC. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
tz_offsetstring The literal string +0000. (Exists only for backwards-compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)
