Hi Heiner,

I'm afraid, I'm not firm enough with php to comment on your code, but I've just checked in my wiki and found the following:

1. Afaik the date/time-settings are per user and can be influenced in the user's settings.

2. When I check the date/time-settings on my server, they show the correct local time: wiki-h00:~ # date Mon Apr 6 09:40:44 CEST 2009 When I look at my own user's settings in the wiki I get the following output: Aktuelle Zeit auf dem Server: 07:39 Ortszeit: 09:39 I get this apparently incorrect servertime and correct localtime after I clicked on the button "Vom Browser übernehmen"...

I remember being confused about this the first time I set up my wiki and I gave up finding a wikiwide solution. I think the idea behind this user-related time setting is based on a wiki being open to users all around the world and so every user should be able to set his or her correct time...

It would be nice if there were a way to automatically transfer the browser-settings at login, but as I said before, I gave up searching because I don't speak php fluently enough.

So - please, I second Heiner's question: Is there a way to get the timesetting-process working automatically?

Greetings Katharina

Hi List,

i don't like pushing own questions back on top. But after waiting about one week with no single reaction from the list and my boss getting impatient, i see no other solution.

Could someone _please_ help me?

With regards,

Heiner Wulfhorst

Hi Guys,

we are really frustrated as our wiki is showing the wrong time.

Here's the part of our LocalSettings (as seen on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Timezone): #Set Default Timezone $wgLocaltimezone = "Europe/Berlin"; $oldtz = getenv("TZ"); putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); # Versions before 1.7.0 used $wgLocalTZoffset as hours. # After 1.7.0 offset as minutes $wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60; #$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60 + date("I") * 60; # putenv("TZ=$oldtz");

Server's and php's time is right: [root@servlet ~]# php -r 'echo date("r");' Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:57:03 +0200

Our Wiki is always 2 hours wrong: Server time13:59 Local time15:59 Offset 02:00

Kind regards,

Heiner Wulfhorst
