[development] Timezone Changes Depending on Page

[Ken Rickard]

Try resetting the global timezone variable in hook_init().

<code>
mymodule_init() {
// figure out the page request and set a $zone var to the offset accordingly.

$zone = -14400;  // the timezone offset in seconds (EDT here)
global $conf;
$conf['date_default_timezone'] = $zone;
}
</code>

This should temporarily override the site's timezone setting.
