{% set_timezone %}

Sets the default timezone to use when rendering dates and times on the page that do not already have a separate timezone configured.

{% set_timezone value %}

{% set_timezone
value
 
Should evaluate to a timezone identifier. For the best result, use a well-known timezone ids (eg: "UTC"), the GMT offset (eg: "GMT+5:00"), the full timezone name (eg: "Pacific Standard TIme"), or the full city identifier (eg: "Europe/Amsterdam") May use liquid filters.
%}

Some dates and times do not use the default timezone and will not be affected by this method.

Examples

Demonstrates how to set Timezone by String.

Set the request timezone

Copy
{% set_timezone "America/Indianapolis" %}
{{ request.date | timezone }}
America/Indianapolis
{% var cityname = "Amsterdam" %}
{% set_timezone "Europe/" | append: cityname %}
{{ request.date | timezone }}
Europe/Amsterdam

{% set_title %}

Sets the page title.

{{ timezone }}

{% set_description %}

Sets the meta description for the current page, which is output by default as part of an HTML page's {{ automatic_markup }}.

{% set_session %}

Saves custom properties on the session. Note that this doesn't mean much unless the user (or the developer) has granted permission for sessions.

{% set_content_type %}

Sets the Content-Type header for the HTTP response.

{% set_robots %}

Sets the robots meta directive.

{% set_client %}

Saves custom properties on the client that will survive across multiple sessions until they are changed, unset, or the "session" permission expires. Note that this doesn't mean much unless the user (or the developer) has granted permission for sessions.

{% set_favicon %}

Sets the URL to the favicon for the current page, which is output by default as part of an HTML page's {{ automatic_markup }}.

{% set_profile_setting %}

Saves custom values to predefined profile settings that will be accessible whenever the current profile is logged in. Note that this is meaningless unless the user is logged in. Profile settings may include validation, in which case all settings will be validated before being set and any validation error will prevent the setting(s) from being set. Validation errors may optionally be output to a variable.

{% set %}

Replaces a value on the nearest scope where it has already been defined. If it has not been defined yet, it is stored on the root scope.

{% set_header %}

Sets one or more headers in the HTTP response.

{% set_client_permission %}

Defines whether the client has granted or deined permission for a particular feature (eg: sessions). The only permission defined by default is the session permission (configurable in the site properties). However, the template developer may use this mechanism for their own purposes as well. The permissions defined by this method will be stored in the permissions cookie, which may be read and/or modified by client-side javascript.

{% set_dictionary %}

Sets properties on an editable dictionary object. If the dictionary does not exist it will be created and stored on the current scope. If the dictionary exists but is not editable this will throw an error.

{% set_cookie %}

Sets a cookie in the HTTP response.

{% set_canonical_url %}

Sets the canonical URL for the current page, which is output by default as part of an HTML page's {{ automatic_markup }}.

{% set_response_code %}

Sets the HTTP response status code.

{% set_profile %}

Saves custom properties on the profile that will be accessible whenever the current profile is logged in. The properties will be saved to the profile's attribute dictionary. Note that this is meaningless unless the user is logged in.

{{ timezone }}

{% set_timezone %}

Sets the default timezone to use when rendering dates and times on the page that do not already have a separate timezone configured.

timezone filter

Returns the timezone that the date is in. If full is true or if an abbreviated timezone name is not available, returns the full timezone identifier (eg: "Europe/Rome"). If full is false (default) or not specified and an abbreviated timezone name is available returns the abbreviated timezone name (eg: "PST" or "PDT").

timezone: Boolean full

Examples

Use the timezone filter to output the timezone used by a date object. The output may either be the full timezone identifier or the shortened timezone abbreviation.

Using the timezone filter

Copy
{{request.date | timezone}}
EST
{{request.date | add_months: 6 | timezone}}
EDT

You can use the date filter either to create a date object or to format a date as a string.

Many ways to use the date filter

Copy
{% set_timezone 'UTC' %}

create a date object

{{ "2009-09-09" | date }}
9/9/2009 12:00:00 AM
{{ "2009-09-09" | date: "D" }}
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
{{ 0 | date: "D" }}
Thursday, January 1, 1970
{{ 1756239994 | date: "D" }}
Tuesday, August 26, 2025

Defaults to the current date

{{"now" | date}}
2009-09-09T00:00:00.0000000+00:00 (or whatever the current date is)

format a date as a string

{{request.date | date: "d"}}
9/9/2009
{{request.date | date: "D"}}
Sunday, September 9, 2009
{{request.date | date: "o"}}
