In addition, time zones should be handled as zones (rather than a numeric offset) so that historical and future datetimes are shown correctly (for instance, those before/after daylight saving switch).
Bare dates such as "date of birth" should be stored as dates, not as datetimes; the current technique of adding 3600s to a datetime in order to get a date is somewhat problematic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548311 Title: Support for Time Zones of users in Mahara Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Confirmed Bug description: Did a quick search here and couldn't easily find an existing request for timezone support. Unlike this eduforge tracker when I created my account, where I was prompted to confirm my time zone, there seems to be no such Time Zone support within the Mahara system and therefore I have to mentally adjust time stamps against forum, blog, and other posts. Hope this request can find its way into your todo list soon. Cheers, Peter B.
