[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 548311] Re: Support for Time Zones of users in Mahara
This would still be great to have, but it'll be quite an undertaking. As others have mentioned, the most common way of doing this is to store the dates in UTC in the database, and then before displaying it to the user, converting it to that user's chosen timezone. The annoying thing is that we'll need to track down every place in the code that a date is displayed to the user and do this conversion. A lot of these will have been passed through format_date(), so putting a conversion in there will cover all of those, but there are sure to be quite a few where format_date() was bypassed. We'll also need a one-time script to convert all the stored dates in the database from their current time to UTC. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 548311] Re: Support for Time Zones of users in Mahara
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.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 548311] Re: Support for Time Zones of users in Mahara
I'm not sure if this is the right way to handle this, or if it will work in Mahara, but in a Ruby on Rails site that uses time zones, all date/time information is stored in the database in UTC. Conversion to a user's timezone is done before it is displayed, and all dates entered by a user are assumed to be in their time zone, and are converted to UTC before storing in the database. For anonymous/public access, perhaps a site default can be used? -- 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 Time Zones support.

The solution could be setting GMT offset for server location in Site settings, as well as local GMT offset for individual user.
