Default user timezone
sunfish - September 8, 2008 - 15:59
I set the default timezone in Admiinster->Site Configuration->Date and Time to PST but when users
register, they are still defaulted to the server EST timezone.
Is there anything that can be done or do I have to update the user database table manually?

take a look at the auto time
take a look at the auto time zone module http://drupal.org/project/autotimezone it might be what you need and if not it may give you some ideas bout how to right your own custom module
check the User-configurable time zones to disabled
check the User-configurable time zones to disabled
then it will work fine use format_date drpal function to get the dates.Then it will be fine.
