How to change server time

[Bonevier]

Hello,

I've correctly changed the server time to my local time in the joomla global configuration.

But when I post in my guestbook, the time shows up british time (CET - 1). I'm on CET (Sweden).

What form do I have to edit to get the correct servertime when posting?

Thanks,

[Jan]

Hi, Phoca Guestbook use standard Joomla! timestamp:

// Create the timestamp for the date
$row->date = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');

How should you change that line of code to adjust for the Swedish time?

[Jan]

If you save date to database, you must save it this way:

Y-m-d H:i:s

If you get it from database, you can convert it to your swedish format, see: http://cz2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Thanx for this guestbook.
I also have one question about the time.
When I did a posting on the frontpage the time was right at the same time I did the posting in my guestbook. What I saw is that the posting time in my guestbook was about one hour back.
Posting Frontpage 20:30 guestbook posting 19:30
How is it possible if the guestbook is using Joolma time?

Hi, you right, Joomla! saves the date one hour back. If it get the date from database, it converters it to normal date... The converting was missed in Phoca Guestbook ...
Download the Phoca Guestbook now (version 1.1.3), it should be fixed...

Hi!
I have version 1.3.2 and I still have this problem.
All posts get a time stamp with 1 hour lag.

Could I change the code to fix this?

Hi, try to see your time settings in global configuration of Joomla!
