I'm using format_date process plugin to import data from external API to drupal 8 node. The date/time in API is "Asia/Jerusalem" time - 2017-06-24 20:52:55 The date/time from the API is saved in drupal node as it was a UTC 2017-06-24T20:52:55 When the node is displayed (I have "Asia/Jerusalem" timezone defined for me) it shows 2017-06-24 23:52:55

This is the configuration file I used

source: fields: - name: status_updated label: 'Status updated' selector: status_updated destination: plugin: 'entity:node' process: field_ext_status_updated: plugin: format_date from_format: 'Y-m-d H:i:s' to_format: 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s' #timezone: 'Asia/Jerusalem' settings: validate_format: false source: status_updated

I need either to convert the source date first from "Asia/Jerusalem" to "UTC" and then pass it to format_date or change the configuration file in way that it will save the date as 2017-06-24T17:52:55so for users with timezone "Asia/Jerusalem" it will show the correct date/time 2017-06-24 20:52:55

How can I achieve it? removing the comment for timezone: 'Asia/Jerusalem' not helped

Timezone conversion is not yet supported - the issue where it's being developed is https://www.drupal.org/node/2883892.

  • Thank you. The issue helped me to write my own process plugin based on format date plugin until it will be supported in core. Commented Jul 1, 2017 at 15:46

Timezone conversion is now supported, with from_timezone and to_timezone format_date plugin parameters. See updated status of the issue posted by @Mike_Ryan: https://www.drupal.org/node/2883892

So, above configuration should become:

field_ext_status_updated: plugin: format_date from_format: 'Y-m-d H:i:s' to_format: 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s' from_timezone: 'Asia/Jerusalem' to_timezone: 'UTC' settings: validate_format: false source: status_updated
