Sitecore Scheduled Publish Module - India timezone utc +05:30

Question

I'm using the Sitecore Scheduled Publish with the Timezone package from https://marketplace.sitecore.net/Modules/S/Sitecore_Scheduled_Publish.aspx developed by Hedgehog.

This allow me to add some timezone, but is it possible to add the India timezone utc +05:30? I get a error in the scheduled publish dialog when I use +5:30 or +5.5 seem like it is only working for whole hours?

No this is not possible. (without changing the code)

In the Model (ScheduledPublish.Models.Offset) there is an int.Parse. so the value needs to be an integer.

Looks like the source is also not on GitHub. Although there is a feature-timezones branch https://github.com/HedgehogDevelopment/SCScheduledPublishing/tree/feature-timezones it seems like it is not about this timezone feature.

Also on GitHub is a newer version of the module version 1.1 instead of the 1.0 on the marketplace. but the timezone feature from this issue is not in there.

What you can do is de-compile the code, and change the model to

public double Offset
{
    get
    {
        return double.Parse(this.InnerItem[ID.Parse("{32BF3544-E4F1-4A09-80ED-CC654BD6A764}")]);
    }
}

This works, (the module is under the Apache License) the code to display is

universalTime.AddHours((double) timeZone.Offset).ToShortTimeString())

For UTC+5:30 you can now use

5.5
