Installation

[Manual]

git submodule init
git submodule update

Usage

Remember to add CakePlugin::load('Timezone'); to your app's bootstrap file.

Then add the helper to any of your controllers using;

public $helpers = array('Timezone.Timezone');

In your view, you can then show a timezone select from within a form. E.g.

<?php 
echo $this->Form->create('Post');
	echo $this->Timezone->select('timezone');
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit'));
