This app will auto-detect a user's timezone using JavaScript, then configure Django's timezone localization system accordingly. As a result, dates shown to users will be in their local timezones.
Authored by Adam Charnock <https://adamcharnock.com/>
, and some great contributors <https://github.com/adamcharnock/django-tz-detect/contributors>
.
On the first page view you should find that tz_detect
places a
piece of asynchronous JavaScript code into your page using the
template tag you inserted. The script will obtain the user's GMT
offset using getTimezoneOffset
, and post it back to Django. The
offset is stored in the user's session and Django's timezone awareness
is configured in the middleware.
The JavaScript will not be displayed in future requests.
Either checkout tz_detect
from GitHub, or install using pip:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install django-tz-detect
Add tz_detect
to your INSTALLED_APPS
:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS += (
'tz_detect',
)
Be sure you have the django.template.context_processors.request
processor
.. code-block:: python
TEMPLATES = [
{
...
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
...
'django.template.context_processors.request',
],
},
},
]
Update your urls.py
file:
.. code-block:: python
urlpatterns += [
path('tz_detect/', include('tz_detect.urls')),
]
Add the detection template tag to your site, ideally in your base layout just before the </body>
tag:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load tz_detect %}
{% tz_detect %}
Add TimezoneMiddleware
to MIDDLEWARE
:
.. code-block:: python
import django
MIDDLEWARE += (
'tz_detect.middleware.TimezoneMiddleware',
)
if django.VERSION < (1, 10):
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += (
'tz_detect.middleware.TimezoneMiddleware',
)
(Optional) Configure the countries in which your app will be most commonly used:
.. code-block:: python
# These countries will be prioritized in the search
# for a matching timezone. Consider putting your
# app's most popular countries first.
# Defaults to the top Internet using countries.
TZ_DETECT_COUNTRIES = ('CN', 'US', 'IN', 'JP', 'BR', 'RU', 'DE', 'FR', 'GB')
Please see example
application. This application is used to manually
test the functionalities of this package. This also serves as a good
example.
You need only Django 1.8 or above to run that. It might run on older versions but that is not tested.
