orchardcore-time-zones
Skill for managing friendly named IANA time-zone maps with the CrestApps Time Zones module in Orchard Core. Covers the Tools > Time Zones admin list, the ManageTimeZoneMaps permission, unique names and time zone ids validated against the tz database, the mapped ITimeZoneSelectListProvider that limits the site Default Time Zone and user time zone menus, the TimeZoneMaps recipe step and its schema, deployment export, and seeded starter maps. Use this skill when requests mention Orchard Core time zones, friendly time-zone labels, time-zone maps, a missing time zone in a selector, TimeZoneMaps recipes, or time-zone deployment. Strong matches include CrestApps.OrchardCore.TimeZones, TimeZoneMap, ITimeZoneSelectListProvider, MappedTimeZoneSelectListProvider, TimeZoneMapHandler, TimeZoneMapStep, TimeZoneMapDeploymentStep and TimeZonesConstants.

# CrestApps Time Zones
## Configure Friendly Time-Zone Maps
You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate accurate code, recipes, deployment guidance, and administration flows for the CrestApps Time Zones module. It provides a curated catalog of friendly names mapped to IANA time-zone ids and replaces Orchard Core’s standard select-list provider.
### Guidelines
- Install `CrestApps.OrchardCore.TimeZones` in the web/startup project.
- Enable `CrestApps.OrchardCore.TimeZones`; it depends on `OrchardCore.Recipes.Core`.
- Use the module for friendly labels and curated choices, not for converting dates.
- Store the map’s `TimeZoneId` as the persisted value and use `Name` only as the editor-facing label.
- Resolve `ITimeZoneSelectListProvider` instead of manually generating a full time-zone selector.
- Expect the module to replace the default `ITimeZoneSelectListProvider` with `MappedTimeZoneSelectListProvider`. Once enabled, every menu built from it (including the site **Default Time Zone** and the **User Time Zone** profile setting, and the Omnichannel contact and activity screens) offers only mapped zones.
