Testing Instructions:

Hide

Set default timezone to UTC
Set user timezone to Australia/Perth
Add custom profile datetime field
Edit profile, select date/time and save
Check the display in View Profile matches what was saved.

Show
Set default timezone to UTC Set user timezone to Australia/Perth Add custom profile datetime field Edit profile, select date/time and save Check the display in View Profile matches what was saved.

Description

This is dependent on the server/PHP timezone being set to something other than UTC - in our case it was Australia/Perth
1. Add a custom profile field for date only;
2. Edit a user profile, select a date for the custom field and save;
3. View the profile - the date will be a day earlier

The issue lies in /user/profile/field/datetime/field.class.php edit_save_data_preprocess() method is using PHP date function rather than moodle's userdate function.
