Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I tried timezone.now without parentheses, but it
gave me server error. I have also tried datetime, but I face the same issue.
The issue I have:
I want people to see what happened today in the past. So I created a
database where is a story or stories what happened in the history on this
day(date). My view should be able to pick a right story from the database
based on the users timezone. If Australian visits my webpage at this
moment, he should be able to see what happened on February 5 in the past
(it's already February 5 there). However he sees what happened on February
4, because it is February 4 here (in Finland or England, not sure what
timezone I'm using). So I want to make my view to understand the end user's
local time, so it can pick the right story from the database for the
webpage visitor.
