Manual talk:$wgLocalTZoffset

Bug in the Example

Original version,

$wgLocaltimezone = 'CET';
$wgLocalTZoffset = +60;

Fixed version,

$wgLocaltimezone = 'CET';
$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z")/60 + 60;

It should rather be something like this? --Ans 08:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hours - Minutes / DST script

After an update you should be carefull:

I don't know the exact versions, but after a bigger update I had to correct the offset into minutes. Before that, offset was in hours, e.g.

$wgLocalTZoffset = +2;

became

$wgLocalTZoffset = +120;

Now my little, handy automatic daylight savingtime-script in LocalSettings.php looks like this (Timezone is Berlin/Europe):

if ((date("I")) == "1") {
        $wgLocalTZoffset = +120;
} else {
        $wgLocalTZoffset = +60;
}
