Hello, how can I configure the Web Client to show the dates of the files in the user timezone ?
    To me they are displaied in GMT.

Hello,

You need to localise the properties files for your locale - see the topics in Language Packs for info on this and examples in various languages.

The file you'll need to localise is "webclient.properties" and you would modify this section appropriately:

# Date Pattern
date_pattern=MMMM, d yyyy
date_time_pattern=MMMM, d yyyy HH:mm
time_pattern=HH:mm

The patterns use standard java date/time format.

Hope this helps,

Thaks for you quick response !
    But, you don't understend my question (my poor english    )
    My problem is the time displayed, it is wrong, my timezone here in Brasil is GMT-3 but all the dates displayed for the files is in GMT, ie:

   Now is 14:28 (BRST) if I add some file to repository now, after the include if I look the file properties with the Web Client, the time displayed is 16:28.

   How I configure this ?

My applogies! I think you need to check the GMT settings on your Alfresco server machine - the date/time GMT offset comes from Java and that takes it's values from the JVM, so can only guess that your server machine has the wrong settings.

Thanks,

Hi,

you can do any suggest for change it?. The Alfresco Instalation Notes don't say nothing about this.

Hi,

The time setup on your server is nothing to do with Alfresco.

If your machine is running MS Windows, open the control panel and select 'date & time'. Change the time settings in there.

For Linux see this website for how to set it: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/time.html

Hi,

I was my computer settings for Date & Time and this indicates as GMT -4 (My Time Zone). When I start Alfresco (Tomcat Bundle), this messages are displayed in the correct time, an example:

11-ene-2006 8:15:27 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start

8:15:27 is a correct hour for my timezone but when I create or Add a Content the time is 12:15:27. This time is GMT 0. Why?

Hi,

I've got the same issue using linux.

My machine is configured gmt+1 and checkin time is 1 hour before the real time.

Have anyone found a solution for that ?

Here is the solution :
add  "export TZ=Europe/Paris" in the startup.sh or define a "-Duser.timezone=Europe/Paris" in your JAVA_OPTS.

Of course replace Europe/Paris with your timezone, for example Brazil/East.

Hello matafagafo,

Your issue is my solution. I need that Date should always display in GMT but in my case time change with the time zone. How did you set in GMT?

Thanks,
Jamil
