Timezone configuration in user profile

User can choose one of:

• browser timezone (current)
• server timezone
• a custom timezone

Also see  MGNLUI-2695 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Displaying dates

How do those resolve the timezone?

B] Component

    <component>
      <type>info.magnolia.userprofile.UserProfile</type>
      <implementation>info.magnolia.userprofile.UserProfile</implementation>
    </component>

Problem: where to place the implementation of the component?

Decision

This is a summary of the decisions made on architecture meeting on 12 May 2016.

Participants

• Espen Jervidalo
• Philip Mundt
• Mikaël Geljić
• Roman Kovařík

Users can choose a timezone in their profiles:

• Browser timezone (show only offset)

• A custom timezone (list of timezone IDs)
• We do not provide server timezone option

How we resolve the timezone:

• We won't introduce a new user profile component 
• We introduce TimeZone info.mangolia.security.User.getTimeZone() for M5.5
  • Only MgnlUser.getTimeZone() for M5.4
