Default Timezone and Users Timezone Questions

Hi,

I have set my site settings timezone to GMT and also the offset in web.config, but when I manually create a user the timezone always starts on -5.00.  This isn't a big problem, I just wondered wether I could default the selected value to GMT.

Also, I read in other forum posts about the SiteUtils.GetUserTimeZone() to get the info for the Timezone offset so he/she could send emails to the user with correct times in.

As this has no overloads, I assume this gets the current user that is logged in.  I have to send an email to lots of different users, that potentially could have different timezones and they contain time/date critical information.  Worst case scenario is I state they are all UTC or GMT, but i would rather they were localised.  Is there a way to do this?

Great CMS though and keep up the good work!!

Re: Default Timezone and Users Timezone Questions

The default comes from this setting in mojoProfile.config

<add name="TimeZoneId"
    type=""
        iSettingControlSrc="~/Controls/TimeZoneIdSetting.ascx"
    labelResourceKey="TimeOffsetLabel"
        defaultValue="Eastern Standard Time"
    requiredForRegistration="true"
    regexValidationExpression=""
    regexValidationErrorResourceKey=""
    includeHelpLink="false"
      />

You should use a custom version of this file as documented here instead of just changing it in mojoProfile.config

Hope it helps,

Joe
