[Bug 1451328] Re: Timezone identifier support for PHP on Windows

 

Thanks for your help.  I nearly added the tag #AaronThisHasYourNameOnIt

The export in Leap2A could be a big problem if we look at suggesting
students use another Mahara provider when they leave, such as Nga
Manukura o Apopo for nursing graduates as they are most likely using
journals

Copying the lanconfig.php file required the removal of some code to stop
a fatal error with doubling up on declaring the pluralfunction twice.
Didn't make any difference to my lack of last login or blog post dates
but the date is being stored correctly in the database.  I can do some
testing to see if I can work out what's happening with the user display
on my dev site.

I exported a site to see what comes out date wise (see below) but I don't have a working one to compare it to. Are you able to confirm if the date below is in the correct format or not?
        <title>Dashboard page</title>
        <id>portfolio:view5</id>

        <updated>2015-01-13T16:32::55</updated>
        <published>2015-01-13T16:32::55</published>

In the meantime I will keep plugging away at the issue.  I would really
like to solve it as I am keen to use Mahara here.

Title:
  Timezone identifier support for PHP on Windows

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Last login column for users search is blank (and does not sort in the
  correct order) also the warning saying 'PHP on your website host does
  not return a useful value for the timezone identifier (%z) .....' on
  the admin page is not a fix for the problem and unfortunately some of
  us are not able to change from hosting on a Windows server.

  I am wondering if Mahara is using strftime resulting in the time zone
  identifier returning 'New Zealand Standard Time' in Windows rather
  than Linux' +1200 is part of the problem.

  I have searched the forums but not found a fix.

  Server: Windows 2012 R2
  Mahara version: 15.04.0 and 1.9.4
  IIS: 8.5 (both servers) also had same problem on a WAMP environment
  PHP version: 5.5.3 and 5.5.8
  MySQL version: 5.5.40 on both servers
