Documentation

Quickstart
Install Awesome Django Timezones:
pip install awesome-django-timezones
Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'awesome_django_timezones',
...
)
Add DjangoTimezonesMiddleware to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'awesome_django_timezones.middleware.TimezonesMiddleware',
...
)
Add js/awesome_django_timezones.js to your base template
<script src="{% static 'awesome_django_timezones/js/awesome_django_timezones.js' %}"></script>
(Optional) If you need Django to be timezone aware on the Admin page, you will have to extend the Admin base.html in your_project/templates/admin/base.html
{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% block footer %}
{{ block.super }}
<script src="{% static 'js/awesome_django_timezones.js' %}"></script>
{% endblock %}
Features
Provides an accurate method of determining the an end user’s timezone and activating that timezone in Django.
Uses client side, JavaScript detection for the most accurate method of determining a timezone.
Uses the widely supported, native Intl JavaScript library to detect the client’s timezone. This library is not currently implemented for IE11.
Falls back to server side timezone detection via an IP API.
Fall back is provided for IE11 clients or clients with JavaScript disabled.
Relies on third-party IP API lookups by https://ipapi.co. Consider purchasing a plan if you need more than 30k IP lookups/month or if you need support (no affiliation).
Set a fallback timezone to always use in case a timezone can’t be found with AWESOME_TZ_DEFAULT_TZ in your settings.py. (Be sure to use the “TZ database name” column from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)
