Option to override user time zone in date handlers

Can you specifiy the handlers you are talking about?
Is this really about fieldapi fields or about things like views_handler_filter_date?

I'm not sure whether you actually looked into the files, but there just the core function format_date is used which should do everything here. It uses a date object so it is quite flexible and you shouldn't need gmdate, or?

Patch adds timezone selection to date field handler. Site/user timezone is used by default.

This ternary isn't necessary because you set the default in option_definition. Just make it '#default_value' => $this->options['timezone'],

This ternary is technically necessary, I believe, but switch it to !empty so the NULL is last.

Fixed issues mentioned above.

It would be cool to have some kind of testing for this feature. There is already quite some code in views_handler_field_date.test

Updated patch with the date field test modified to check timezone too.

Awesome, tests and clean code, let's get it in.

As a lot of things changed i assume the patch needs a backport.

Ported.

Awesome!
