I have been trying to figure out how to have a user time zone in addition to the current local machine time zone and UTC server time zone. As I was working through the abp moment enhancements I see that there are two different copies of abp.timing.convertToUserTimezone. They are in: Web\Abp\Framework\scripts\libs\abp.moment.js Web\Abp\Framework\scripts\abp.js The first returns a moment date object and the second returns a date. Was this intentional?
I was planning on using the moment.tz.setDefault to change the user time zone. Any ideas if this is the way to go?
Thanks

I'm also encountering very strange behavior with the abp.timing.convertToUserTimezone in the abp.moment.js (which is the one that is getting executed) I set the user time zone to Pacific time I pass in the current local time using Date.now() which is 1469464471941 momentDate._d : Mon Jul 25 2016 13:34:31 GMT-0300 (Atlantic Daylight Time) - this is correct and the targetDate returned : Mon Jul 25 2016 06:34:31 GMT-0300 (Atlantic Daylight Time) -not correct
The targetDate should be Mon Jul 25 2016 09:34:31 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
There are two errors here. It has not first set the time to UTC before converting it to Pacific so it is out by 3 hours and it has left the "GMT -0300 (Atlantic Daylight Time)"

Hi,
If you are using momentjs in your project, convertToUserTimezone in abp.js is overriden by abp.moment.js.
momentjs timezone library handles timezones nicely. I think your incorrect date is related to browser.
For example when you run below code in chrome and firefox the write different date objects.
var momentDate = moment(new Date()); var targetDate = momentDate.clone().tz("America/Tijuana"); console.log(targetDate); targetDate.format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ssZ")But if you look at the offset property of moment date object, it's -420 (-07:00), which is correct. The formatted value of date object is "2016-07-25 13:06:28-07:00" which is also correct and same on both browsers.
You can try same code on different browsers to compare results.
I hope this helps.
