An appendix to the Installation Guide
By default, Kete data is shown in UTC (+0). And at the time of writing, Kete does not yet have individual timezone controls for user accounts, but its easy to change your entire application to use a different Timezone depending on where the bulk of your vistors of the site will be coming from.
Open up a console where your kete application is hosted, cd into the directory, and run the following rake command
$ rake time:zones:localThis will list the application's guess of what your local timezone you are in. For example:
* UTC +12:00 *
Auckland
Fiji
Kamchatka
Marshall Is.
Wellington
In our case, we are in Wellington. So we open up config/environement.rb in our favorite text editor and change this line:
config.time_zone = 'UTC'To this:
config.time_zone = 'Wellington'Save the file and the restart your server.
