Calendar events times - server in a different timezone

[loosefast]

Hi all,

Is there a simple way to add a 6 hour timezone offset for Calendar events?

I have a site that is in a different timezone than the server it is hosted on.

This causes events to disappear  from the upcoming events list too soon!

Thanks,
Tom

Have you tried changing this part of the config.php file?

#Locale to use for various default date handling functions, etc.  Leaving
#this blank will use the server's default.  This might not be good if the
#site is hosted in a different country than it's intended audience.
$config['locale'] = '';

Alternately, you could fix it by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:

SetEnv TZ location

Where location is selected from a list here - http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

I edited the .htaccess file per your suggestion. Will let you know how well it goes..

Thanks

If that doesn't work, you can try adding the following line near the top of your config.php file:

putenv('TZ=location');

- location is from the table mentioned previously.

Anyone looking for an answer to this... this worked a treat!

To change the time zone to GMT, I put this code in config.php

putenv('TZ=Europe/London');

Thanks!

That works a treat thanks!

I used the following for australia:
putenv('TZ=Australia/Melbourne');


I guess that TZ = Time Zone ... you know that makes sense now but if you are just looking at putenv it might not be that obvious.
