phpFoX Konsort Plug-in :: Timezone

This is a rather small plug-in for phpFoX Konsort v1.5+, however some might find this useful. As Konsort does not have a timezone routine built into the package this will give users the ability the change the timezone for all posts on a site. In short say your hosting your site on a server and they are located in Florida but your target group of users is in California, this plug-in will help you change the timezone to the California region instead of using the default setting your server has which would be Florida.

To get this plug-in you can download it from here.

In order to use this plug-in you must either have support for the PHP function “date_default_timezone_set” (PHP5) or “putenv” (PHP4) and that must support the TZ setting.

Once you have downloaded the plug-in, unzip the package to your PC and upload the “plugin” folder to your Konsort’s root directory. Once the files are uploaded open the file plugins/timezone/config.php.

In that file you will find the following setting: define(”timezone”, “America/Los_Angeles”);
Simply change “America/Los_Angeles” (without quotes) with your selected timezone. To find the time zone you would like to use on your site please find more details here.

If you run into any issues please let me know.
