Description

When we switched to summer time at end of march I had to switch the time zone of my Redmine account from UTC+1 (Berlin) to UTC+2 (Helsinki) to see the correct times.

It would be nice if this wasn't necessary.

Particularly having to choose Helsinki or any other of the UTC+2 cities is not intuitive.

Do you have the tzinfo gem installed? I was having the same problem and installing tzinfo fixed it for me.

Thanks for the hint!

The tzinfo gem didn't help on its own. I also had to run 'script/plugin install tzinfo_timezone' to make it work.

Jean-Philippe, are you planning to add this gem and plugin to www.redmine.org?

I'm still seeing the time 20:50 on www.redmine.org although it's already 21:50.

Can someone confirm this?

I am having the same issue on my redmine r1524 install
It is now:
Thu Jun 12 10:40:25 CEST 2008

If I change a Ticket it is shown to be changed at 9:40:25.
I tried installing the tzinfo_timezone via:

SERVER:/home/redmine # ruby script/plugin install tzinfo_timezone
+ ./tzinfo_timezone/README
+ ./tzinfo_timezone/Rakefile
+ ./tzinfo_timezone/init.rb
+ ./tzinfo_timezone/lib/tzinfo_timezone.rb
+ ./tzinfo_timezone/test/tzinfo_timezone_test.rb

But after that redmine did not start anymore:

** Daemonized, any open files are closed.  Look at /home/redmine/script/../config/../tmp/pids/mongrel.pid and log/mongrel.log for info.
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:2002

Okay, I fixed it.
Downloaded tzinfo.zip and copied it to vendor/plugins
Now it runns smooth...

  • Status changed from New to Resolved

Actually this issue is a duplicate of #855.

Nevertheless the tzinfo_timezone plugin should be added to www.redmine.org as well.

Updated by Holger Just over 14 years ago

  • Status changed from Resolved to Closed
  • Resolution set to Fixed

This is obviously resolved on redmine.org and elsewhere.
