Adjusting the Timezones

Adjusting the timezones

The timezones are set in:

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/context/calendarContext.xml

And default to:

<util:list id="timeZones">
  <value>America/New_York</value>
  <value>America/Chicago</value>
  <value>America/Denver</value>
  <value>America/Phoenix</value>
  <value>America/Los_Angeles</value>
  <value>America/Anchorage</value>
  <value>America/Hawaii</value>
</util:list>

You can add/edit/remove timezones in this list to customise your local needs:

<util:list id="timeZones">
  <value>Australia/ACT</value>
  <value>Australia/Brisbane</value>
  <value>Australia/Canberra</value>
  <value>Australia/Currie</value>
  <value>Australia/Hobart</value>
  <value>Australia/Lindeman</value>
  <value>Australia/Melbourne</value>
  <value>Australia/NSW</value>
  <value>Australia/Queensland</value>
  <value>Australia/Sydney</value>
  <value>Australia/Tasmania</value>
  <value>Australia/Victoria</value>
</util:list>

You will also have to add the timezone entries to the file src/main/resources/i18n/messages.properties for display in the JSP pages.

The default timezone is stored as a portlet preference named 'timezone'. You can override this via channel configuration or via editing the portlet.xml for the portlet. By default it is 'America/Chicago'. Consult a list of timezone values, such as http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/timezone.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone.tab
