Time zone wrong in emails template

chriskar — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 08:01:01 GMT

Hi,

I am running Alfresco Share v23.1.1.1 on a k3s server.

I have set all the date/time settings for my local +2 timezone, and shows ok on the k3s environment and inside alfresco. All the documents created and modified dates/times are correct and show local time.

my issue is when my rule triggers an email send using the notify_user_email.html.ftl template.

in there there is this date call -> ${date?datetime?string.full}

which for some reason prints the UCT - Coordinated Universal Time that is 2 hours wrong.

this wrong time is only on the emails. my documents have the correct time.

what to do? please advise.

You may try using a FreeMarker approach, as documented in:

thank you for your answer, it was helpfull.

i ended up inserting

<#setting time_zone="Europe/Athens">

and then playing with the

.....string["***"] formats to get the result i needed.
