        • Affects Version/s: 1.9.13, 2.0.4, 2.1.1, 2.2
        • Fix Version/s: 2.1.5, 2.2.2

          • remove this file in your site if present: dataroot/temp/olson.txt
          • remove this file in your site if present: dataroot/temp/timezone.txt
          • disable network access, so http://download.moodle.org/timezone/ cannot be accesed
          • go to Admin -> Location -> Update timezones
          • press the continue button, so the local lib/timezone.txt will be loaded
          • TEST: With debugging enabled, you should get one message like "cURL request for "http://download.moodle.org/timezone/" failed". Perfect, that means you disabled network access ok.
          • TEST: ignoring the previous warning, the load ends without any PHP notice/warning/error.
          • TEST: The page shows this info: "2253 entries imported from YOUR_MOODLE_BASEDIR/lib/timezone.txt". 2253 is the important bit. And also that the load has happened from that directory.
          • Go to admin -> development -> unit tests
          • TEST: Run the lib/simpletest/testmoodlelib.php tests. Process should end with "xxx passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions." (or, alternatively, if there are some tests failing, none of them are related to date/time functions).
          • POST-TEST (optional, must work if all the prev tests have worked): after rolling upstream, with network access enabled, load the timezones again, it should show the same number of timezones (2253) but loaded from http://download.moodle.org/timezone/

          Description

          Last update was done 5-6 months ago (to tzdata2011h database, see MDL-28931). Going to update to tzdata2011n.tar.gz

          Source: http://www.iana.org/time-zones

          Instructions:

          The olson.txt to be imported is the concatenation, in one unique file of this olson files (in this exact order):

          africa, antarctica, asia, australasia, europe, northamerica and southamerica

          1) Put the olson.txt file into dataroot/temp/olson.txt
          2) Go to Admin -> Location -> Update timezones and confirm
          3) Data will be loaded, replacing existing one
          4) Generate CSV file from phpMyAdmin (commas as field separators, non-quoted values, unix line feeds and first line as field names)
          5) Put it into /lib/timezone.txt
          6) Commit

          Note1: Current timezone.txt format is compatible only with Moodle 1.8 and upwards.
          Note2: We'll be spreading this change to all currently supported versions (21_STABLE, 22_STABLE and master).

          Ciao

                Hi Eloy,
                Everything worked perfectly as you mentioned. Except the windows specific warning in unit tests, which we discussed earlier:-

                Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in H:\wamp\www\repo2\master\moodle\lib\moodlelib.php on line 1968

                passing
                Thanks

                Your nice code represents only 1/46 of the issues that have been sent upstream this week, so thanks, but not many.

                Nah, joking, many thanks! Closing this a fixed, ciao
