Content element type “Insert plugin”
On the tab Plugin - select one of the provided plugins

Link showing current timezone¶

Best practise woul be if the administrator placed this content element onto the common template using the provided library. You editor should not really take notice of this part. Without having this content element placed on a page timezone calculation will not function properly.

FAQ¶

Do I still need to use the central function tx_timezones_pi1::formatDate($format, $tstamp); in my extension?

No you don’t have to use this function anymore. It is still provided as a dummy function the will return the same date which it is given as a parameter. The timezone calculation is now session managed of PHP and the intl module.
