Hi,

This has frustrated me for ages. I'm an Aussie using DNN 3.1.1 and have my website hosted on a US based server. Most of my visitors are Australian and it would be really nice if I could get the portal's time and dates to display as Australian dates and times instead of the server's default (US) settings.

I see lots of articles saying 'create a custom skin object to display the local time' etc etc but that doesn't solve the real issue when (for example) I am inserting posts into a forum and so on.

I was under the impression that DNN 3 would allow me to correctly localise my portal... but this doesnt seem to be the case so far. I have set the localisation settings in web.config to en-AU, changed each portal's default timezone to UTC +10:00 and yet the time and dates are still showing in US on both the skin and in the database when forum posts are made.

Have I missed something? What else can I do to fix the problem?

Hi Daniel...

I'm pretty new to DNN (based in the UK with a US host) and the following worked for me:

Set the portal timezone to be the timezone of the server (so US timezone whatever it may be). Then set the timezone of the user(s) to be that of Australia. Any new users would have to select this from the drop-down as DNN would now default in the US timezone setting. (I'm assuming your existing users already have the Australian timezone setting).

In the forum configuration, set the forum timezone in General Settings to be the same US timezone as  the portal.....this worked for me and my users now post with the UK time showing. The actual date stored in the database will still be the server date, but with these settings you should display the Australian date/time details...

...hope it works!

I'm having the exact same problem as you.  Have you solved this?

What I am finding is that modules for events, etc use dotnetnuke's [currentdate] function, drawing this date and time from the server.  It therefore has a flow on effect when calculating when an event finishes.  Is this what you've been suffering?

In the release notes for the latest DNN ver it mentions that it includes some code by to handle times zones.... unfortunately I haven't been able to find out exactly what the code does... might be an idea to throw it on a test box to see whether this issue has been resolved with the new code
