Description

Hi, it would be really nice to have ability to set default time zone (for newly created users) somewhere in redmine admin.
Coz 99% od users I'm adding are from Prague (or Czech Republic :), so everytime I'm adding users, I have to find our timezone in a looong list.
Configurable timezone can prepopuate this filed - big timesaver!

PS: also it can be done via detecting current browser's timezone (not sure if this is possible), but the first solution will be easier, IMHO.

We had built this for Planio a long time ago but it somehow never made it as a patch to Redmine.

I'll prepare one!

Hi Jan, at first, thanks for sharing your solution. Second, I noticed the (direct) message(s) to ActiveSupport::TimeZone in the patch and wondered if it/they could be refactored to make use of the time_zone_select specific helper to make the implementation more in line with the one used for the users/_preferences.html.erb template (r9744)? I'm not sure though whether or not the helper is available for use in the settings/_general.html.erb template. However, I'm not able to try this myself at the moment, so I have to keep it with this comment. I hope it is of any use... ;)

Thanks! I thought about that, but wanted to be more consistent with the rest of the settings by using the setting_* helpers.

I see. That makes perfect sense to me.

Since it's a default value for new users, I've reworked the patch a bit to make it on par with the existing default_users_hide_mail setting. The setting is added to the "Default values for new users" block in application settings (Authentification tab).
Thanks.
