In the same XWiki page I can use Groovy to instantiate TimeZone and get a
TimeZone object with the desired value...

{{groovy}}
xcontext.put("sTimezone", java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"))
{{/groovy}}

Also, complete the Velocity script to add a variable to store my locale...

{{velocity}}
#set($sLocale = $datetool.getLocale())
...
{{/velocity}}

Then, I call it from Velocity...

{{velocity}}
...
#set($date = $datetool.format('d MMM  hh:mm:ss z', $rcDoc.date,
$sLocale, $xcontext.sTimezone))
...
{{/velocity}}

I'll add this comments to the concerned Timeline Extension page in xwiki.org.
Here there is an example running in our own server...

Any comment will be extremely welcome! Thanks!

Cheers,

Ricardo

[xwiki-users] help needed to show data in a different timezone

[[IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez]

Hi!

The server where our XWiki 7.1.2. installation is running is in CEST
timezone. We do need to read dates in GMT timezone and find this...

How can I format a date in a different time zone in Velocity Template using
DateTool?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21691445/how-can-i-format-a-date-in-a-different-time-zone-in-velocity-template-using-date

I'm not able to get this running. Please, could somebody provide an example
of using or any other way to transform the date to GMT?

Thank you for your help!

Ricardo
