The Time zones module enables configuration of time zone for the physical location of the server, for particular web sites and even for particular users.

 

A typical example of such use is displaying the time of forum post when you have a global community – while the server may be located in New York (GMT -5:00), the visitor coming from Paris (GMT +1:00) may see her new posts were added at 8am, while she would expect seeing 2pm according to her current time.

 

Another example is a web site of a global company that runs on a server in New York, but contains content for a French office. In this case, French visitor may wonder why the current time displayed by the server is 8am while it’s 2pm in Paris. That’s when you use the built-in support for multiple time zones.

 

Time zones are currently supported in all modules. The administration interface (CMS Desk and CMS Site Manager) does not reflect the time zone settings.
