Time Offset from the server time
Anonymous
Anonymous
Hi there,
I tried to find a Time Offset variable eaither in language file or config so my site can show my local time to the visitors insted of the server time which is (-7) from my place.
I hope somebody can tell me how to do it..
Regards,
Ageel

Yes, this is a known shortcoming - Geeklog will always use the time zone of the server it's running on.
Maybe this Timezone hack works for you.

hi,
thanx, it solved the display part,
but, the server still retrieve the recored of the database according to it's local time while the article I made are stored using my local time 
I think there must be something to add the time offset to SQL queries also.
any idea?

Clicking on the link brings me back to the Index page. I am interested in the Server Time Offset problem too.

Looks like that link wasn't converted when we moved stories to the forums. A simple search for "timezone hack" brings up this thread (with horrible formatting), and a lot more ...

The hack is good for time zones. But when I post an article, the time of posting that is given is the time zone of the server AS determined from my Time zone (Asia/Manila). I'd like to see a hack that would cure this.
Thanks.

All? Does that mean even your posted articles?

Yes, postings, forum, downloads (filemgmt)
For some reasons I disabled the posting time, but I can check it in the postings list and yes, it's correct.
The imortant part for the postings was

But that would be if your server is Unix right?
