Hi!

The server where our XWiki 7.1.2. installation is running is in CEST timezone. We do need to read dates in GMT timezone and find this...

How can I format a date in a different time zone in Velocity Template using DateTool?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21691445/how-can-i-format-a-date-in-a-dif...

I'm not able to get this running. Please, could somebody provide an example of using or any other way to transform the date to GMT?

In the same XWiki page I can use Groovy to instantiate TimeZone and get a TimeZone object with the desired value... {{groovy}} xcontext.put("sTimezone", java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")) {{/groovy}} Also, complete the Velocity script to add a variable to store my locale... {{velocity}} #set($sLocale = $datetool.getLocale()) ... {{/velocity}} Then, I call it from Velocity... {{velocity}} ... #set($date = $datetool.format('d MMM yyyy hh:mm:ss z', $rcDoc.date, $sLocale, $xcontext.sTimezone)) ... {{/velocity}} I'll add this comments to the concerned Timeline Extension page in xwiki.org. Here there is an example running in our own server... http://portal.idisantiago.es/xwiki/bin/view/Home/Timeline Any comment will be extremely welcome! Thanks! Cheers, Ricardo

Thank you for your help!
