JagmortTimezonePlugin

With this module the user can set the timezone.

Requirements

• PHP 5 >= 5.2.0
• Symfony 1.4
• Doctrine
• sfGuardDoctrinePlugin

Model and view timezones

Model time is a unified time (by default your server's system time), view is a user time, may specific for any user.

Installation

Activate the plugin in the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php

    class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
    {
      public function setup()
      {
        $this->enablePlugins(array(
          'sfDoctrinePlugin', 
          'sfDoctrineGuardPlugin',

          'JagmortTimezonePlugin'
        ));
      }
    }

Setup timezone in config/app.yml:

    default_timezone: UTC

Setup timezone in config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php:

    class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
    {
      //...

      public function setup()
      {
        //...

        $this->dispatcher->connect(
          'doctrine.filter_model_builder_options',
          array($this, 'configureDoctrineBuilderOptions')
        );

        //...
      }

      //...

      public function configureDoctrineBuilderOptions(sfEvent $event, $options)
      {
        $options['baseClassName'] = 'JagmortTzDoctrineRecord';

        return $options;
      }

      //...
    }

Rebuild your models:

    ./symfony doctrine:build-model
    ./symfony doctrine:build-forms
