#6635 closed defect (fixed)

/prefs/datetime should default to server TZ

Description

On a trac 0.11b1 setup with pytz installed, when a user goes to set their TZ preferences for the first time (at prefs/datetime), they are confronted with a default choice of Asia/Qatar.

It would be more reasonable if they were given a default choice that matched the server's default time zone.

Probably even simpler to implement: the user could be given an explicit "Server Default" choice which would remove the matching name=tz row in the session_attribute table.

This is indeed annoying, looking into it.

I've applied this patch and it seems to work.

But when the user clicks "Save changes" with the setting unchanged ("Default time zone" chosen), it goes right back to Asia/Seoul again.

The current patch does indeed have some issues. Need to dig into it…
