bx_django_utils - User Timezone

Automatic activation of the time zone for the current user.

how it works

1. Store the current user timezone via JavaScript into a Cookie.
2. A middleware activates the user timezone from the Cookie.

Limitation: The time zone is switched only from the second request!

how to use

Change your settings, e.g.:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'bx_django_utils.user_timezone.apps.UserTimezoneAppConfig',
    # ...
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'bx_django_utils.user_timezone.middleware.UserTimezoneMiddleware',
    # ...
]

Load the JavaScript on a central page (e.g. on your login page or the admin index etc.):

<script src="{% static 'user_timezone.js' %}"></script>

To display the current Timezone, use the normal Django way, e.g.:

{% load tz %}

<p>{% trans "Active Timezone:" %} {% get_current_timezone as TIME_ZONE %}{{ TIME_ZONE }}</p>
