problems with date_timezone

problems with date_timezone

Drupal 5.5
Date 5.x-2.x-dev

With the date_timezone module enabled, I am seeing a few different problems.

The initial problem is with the forms. The select list for site default time zone (at /admin/settings/date-time) is not being changed to the new form. On the user edit page the new select list is displayed, but the old one is still there as well.

I can get the forms to display correctly if I add the following to the form_alter function in another module that I keep around specifically for modifying forms:

  if ($form['#id'] == 'system-date-time-settings') {
     date_timezone_site_form($form);
  }
  elseif ($form_id == 'user_edit' && variable_get('configurable_timezones', 1) && isset($form['timezone'])) {
    date_timezone_user_form($form);
  }

I'm not sure why this works, but it does.

If a user updates her timezone in the user/edit forms, the "timezone" field in the "user" table is always set to zero. "timezone_name" and "timezone_id" both seem to be set correctly. Because the "timezone" field is not being set correctly, none of the dates and times on the site are displayed correctly.

If I manually edit the database to add a value to the "timezone" field, the dates display as they should.

Something that may be related, which I have just noticed: /admin/logs/status shows this warning, even though I have set the site timezone name:

Date Timezone requirements The site timezone name may not be correct.

Any help with this would be great! Please let me know if I should provide more information.

Thanks,
