Timezone Detect

Timezone Detect is a lightweight Backdrop module that leverages the jsTimezoneDetect library (bundled with the module) for automatic detection and setting of a user's timezone via Javascript. It can set a user's timezone automatically upon first login, and update it on every login if desired.

Installation and Configuration

• Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.

This module is designed to be "set it and forget it": it does not require any special installation or configuration beyond enabling the module. It defaults to setting a user's timezone automatically at login if their timezone is not yet set.

If desired, there are a couple of options that can be configured by visiting admin/config/regional/timezone_detect.

When using this module it is recommended that you disable the option to "Remind users at login if their time zone is not set" in Backdrop's regional settings, by visiting admin/config/regional/settings and unchecking that option. Otherwise users may be asked to set their timezone on first login even when this module has already set it via AJAX callback. This setting is disabled automatically when Timezone Detect is first enabled.
