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. 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.
