Using timezones other than UTC

[JBenPiel]

It would be great if we could set a default timezone other than UTC for this plugin. I'm having to constantly remind people that when creating a periodic tasks that they need to include -7 (MST) when filling out the Next run date.

I believe an improvement to this plugin would be to use the same timezone as the system, or allow the timezone to be set in the plugin.

same problem. I have -8 hours timezone. thats uncomfortably always keep it in mind and calculate.

Adding Time.zone = User.current.time_zone in app/models/periodictask.rb solve this issue.

Thanks for @alexander-sessa it works for me.

Just in case someone has the question about where the code put, put a note here.

Search 'Time.now' in the plugin folder (the folder should be renamed to 'periodictask')

    now = Time.now
    Time.zone = User.current.time_zone

  def generate_issue(now = Time.now)
    Time.zone = User.current.time_zone
    if project.try(:active?)

Hi. The plugin has been changed since July 2017 when I proposed my patch. I did not check how the current version works. Best regards 03.01.2020 0:59, KexZh пишет:
