You need to be a bit savage, I can't lie. It is not plain simple. But it is easy enough.

After installing this plugin in your plugin directory (from github or from the instalation tool), you need to edit the file:

...dokuwiki/public/inc/init.php

Comment line 95:

//date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());

Add the following lines:

if(empty($conf['plugin']['timezoneco']['timezone'])){   
    date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());
}else{
    date_default_timezone_set($conf['plugin']['timezoneco']['timezone']);
}

On your admin / configuration settings, find the timezone field and add a string of your timezone according to PHP timezone strings.

Remember: if you upgrade your dokuwiki, you need to edit the init.php file again.

  • A bug fix that prevented manager.dat to realize the plugin was already up to date
• 2021-10-17
  • Initial release

• There should be a better way

• In hope someday this plugin would cease to exist by adding this functionality to the very core of Dokuwiki.
