New users registered with FB connect don't get the set timezone

Hi~

I set the default timezone in admincp, however for those users who register via Facebook Connect (with auto-registration enabled) their timezones are not set correctly (still use GMT instead of the timezone set in admincp).

Anyone knows how to correct it?

Thanks.
Joe

The user may just go to their Settings > General Settings page and set it correctly.

Thanks Lynne

But I am looking to correct this at my end instead of asking users to do it.

I don't know that you will be able to do this easily. I'm not sure if facebook passes timezone information over to your site when they use it to register.

No, I don't need to use Facebook to pass timezone information. I just want to use the timezone I set in admincp even though the user is registered through Facebook Connect.

You could try this: create a plugin using hook fb_auto_register and this code:

Code:

if (!isset($info['timezone']))

{

    $userdata->set('timezoneoffset', $vbulletin->options['timeoffset']);

}

But I have no way to test so it's a bit of a guess.

I found a right place to put the code you suggested and it works.

Thanks, mate.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:42 AM.
