I am having trouble with the timezone setup.
- under personal preferences, when I select a timezone and press save, it reverts to "none selected.
- I set the time zone in site setup and I expect that would define the date/time used for items such as editing, when items are created, etc.. However, it doesn't. I set for my local zone and the times used are those set by my host.
Am I misunderstanding what this is supposed to do?
my host has these instructions for setting timezone (never got it to work). in buildout:
-
Under environment-vars =, add a line containing TZ Region/City_Name,
-
where Region/City_Name is a time zone name from from the IANA Time Zone Database.
-
For example,
-
the United States Eastern time zone name is America/New_York
-
and the Indian Standard Time name is Asia/Kolkata.Save and close the file.
I realize if you have users in multiple time zones, there is no way to have the date/time tied to the timezone of each user. so what is the purpose of the timezone setting?
thanks
