Can anybody describe how time is actually handled by MediaWiki?
- where is the current time taken from? - how does wgLocalTZoffset relate to that time? - how is daylight saving time integrated?
I would expect that I set up my server to provide UTC and MediaWiki to handle all time as UTC internally as well. So wgLocalTZoffset is an offset that is added on output.
On the other hand, shouldn't be this a user setting?
Greetings Tim

Hello,
Just installed a Wiki a few days ago, works fine so far, but the time is set to GMT, but since this is a German Wiki most of my visitors would probably prefer CET. :) How would I be able to adjust the time Wiki-wide? (not just via user preferences)
In LocalSettings.php add:
$wgLocalTZoffset = "-5";
Adjust the value for CET obviously :) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
