If you have a datetimefield, and press the now button in the admin view
you will enter the local time according to your computers timezone, and
not according to the servers settings. This might confuse the user.
E.g:
You have a blog that do not publish the blog post immediately, but after a
specific date and time. By pressing the "now" button in the django admin
the user would expect the blog post to appear immediately in the blog, but
might not do that if the timezone of the server and the computer differ.
#model.py
class BlogPosts(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(_("title"),max_length=200)
body = models.TextField(_("body"))
visible_after = models.DateTimeField(_("post visible after"))
#views.py
def list(request):
queryset=Post.objects.filter(visble_after__lte=datetime.now).order_by("-visible_after")
return list_detail.object_list(
request,
queryset=queryset,
paginate_by=paginate_by,
page=page_no,
template_name=template_name,
)
This is perhaps not a bug, but might be perceived as such by the users.
One solution would use some ajax-magic that queries the server for the
server's own localtime.
