The provided data comes from PHPs built-in function timezone_identifiers_list(). Before the data gets saved in the db it will be prepared so its ready to be used.

Dropdown Field

If you want to use the dropdown field you can simply add a timezone to your db fields:

<?php
use Spekulatius\TimeZones\Model\FieldType\TimeZone;
use Spekulatius\TimeZones\Forms\TimeZoneField;

class MyPage extends Page
{
    /**
     * @var array
     */
    private static $db = array(
        'UserTimeZone' => TimeZone::class
    );

    /**
     * @return FieldList
     */
    public function getCMSFields()
    {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

        // ...

        $fields->addFieldToTab(
            'Root.Main',
            TimeZoneField::create(
                'TimeZone',
                'My time zone'
            )
        );

        return $fields;
    }
}

Format of time zone

You can change the default format of the time zone in the dropdown menu by creating a file mysite/_config/timezone.yml and adding e.g.

SilverStripe\Core\Injector\Injector:
  Spekulatius\TimeZones\Model\TimeZoneData:
    properties:
      format: '%Name (%Region)'

You can use 'Name', 'Region' and 'Identifier' in the string and it will be replaced proper.
