Set Timezone?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently we are leeching off of a buddies server and they don't have php.ini 
enabled and their server time makes it so we cannot do a last minute 
confirmation on our raid times. Is it possible to get a set timezone option?

Currently the raidplaner stores everything as UTC, i.e. there is no timezone 
support at the moment. This will change with 1.0 as more and more players from 
countries with more than just one timezone are using the raidplaner.
However - the topic is complicated and there have been several issues in the 
past, so - could you describe your problem a bit more detailed? Is it a problem 
between timezones or are you having issues inside the same timezone? What is 
happening, and what so you expect to happen?

We're trying to run off of the WoW server time (PDT), our raids begin at 6 pm 
PDT. Because of the UTC offset no one can confirm for raid after 11 am PDT. 
It's really just a lagging on our guildies issue, I was just hoping there was a 
quick fix. I've attempted to set the times all over the place with a
 date_default_timezone_set("America/Los_Angeles") 
wherever I thought it might possibly adjust the time into consideration to no 
avail.

We're not so much looking into making the timezones view correctly for each 
user, just so much as we can set the guild calendar to recognize the correct 
timezone of our server.

So I'm understanding correctly, that you've defined your raid times to be PDT, 
but your server is located in another timezone (6 hours difference) so the 
server is closing the raids early.
One quick solution for this would be to set the raid locking time to -6 hours. 
This will close the raid 5 hours after the server thinks it started.

I will start working on 1.0.0 somewhere this week. I'll start with this feature 
so you can work of a branch until 1.0.0 is officially released.

Integrated into 1.0.0 branch.

The system will use the timezone set on the user's pc/browser to convert all 
dates to the current timezone.
I also integrated a possibility to override the timezone, but there is no UI 
for it - yet - as there are about 40 different timezones by 196 different 
names. Putting that in a usable form is quite a lot of work and daylight saving 
times plus a quite stubborn javascript API prevented me from implementing that 
for 1.0.0.

The plan is to give the user profile a settings tab with a timezone chooser 
somewhere in the future (e.g. 1.1).
For the time being, users will have to fix their system's timezone if the times 
are off.
