Hi folks,

I have read everything I can find on DST and see that there is a patch for d7 but us poor bunnies using earlier versions still have a problem. I am close to putting a d6 site into production but need to resolve DST and the only way I can see to do it is change the TZ entry every time DST starts/ends.

I am not sure where that can be done. For example I am in Melbourne, Australia and am only interested in providing one TZ for local users. I want to change it from say GMT +10 to GMT +11. How do I do that?

Cheers

Like old watches and radio clocks, with Drupal 6 each user needs to adjust the time displayed on a web site.

Drupal 7 will do this automatically but it's far from being ready.

I have changed my timezone from Melbourne to Brisbane (Brisbane is an hour behind Melbourne). If I now create a calendar entry with a time on the hour (say 9.00 precisely) it displays in a day view against the label 8.00. If I change the time to 9.01 then it displays with the label 9.00 in the day view of the calendar.

When my timezone is Melbourne an entry with a time of 9.00 and 9.01 display against the label 8.00.

I need to solve this and it seems that having all users changing their timezone to Brisbane when they are primarily from Melbourne will be politically unacceptable!

Any further suggestions for a kludge to solve this would be much appreciated.
