DefaultTimezone

This is documentation about a configuration directive, which can be placed within Movable Type’s core configuration file, mt-config.cgi, to customize the behavior of the system.

This configuration directive specifies the default timezone for all weblogs. When creating a new weblog from the admin screen, the default timezone will be set (as a default) from the DefaultTimezone value.

Examples

For Mountain Time you would do

DefaultTimezone -7

For Indian Time:

DefaultTimezone 5.5
