I used the timehack to set -8 hours from the server's.

For example, when it's 18:00 here, it's 10:00 at the server's.

It does work fine for me, but so fine that when I submit stories, it behaves as if the current time is the local time. So in this example, it displays 18:00.

So where's the problem, you ask?

Well, as soon as I press "submit", it does set the story's time to 18:00...the server's 18:00!
Which means the story will not be posted live, but only be posted 8 hours later...in 2am here (which will look as if I'm posting in the middle of the night...).

I want to post live. That's why I always have to calculate -8 hours and set it to that time manually.
In this example, I'd set it to 10:00 and only then it'd be posted live (in my 18:00).

Now, I know it's not such a big calculation..but to do it every time I want to post something is annoying, when I just know it should have been so smooth...

All in all, isn't there a way to force new submissions to be set in server time and not via the timehack?

Thanks!

I assume you're reffering to the timezone hack thread?

Did you change the public_htmladminstory.php?
somewhere around line 979 you need to replace "$date" by "FROM_UNIXTIME($unixdate)"

I haven't noticed any change.

I've changed

DB_save($_TABLES
['stories'],'sid,uid,tid,title,introtext,bodytext,hits,date,com
ments,related,featured,commentcode,statuscode,postmod
e,frontpage,draft_flag,numemails,owner_id,group_id,per

could you please try ,FROM_UNIXTIME($unixdate), without the single quotes?

Still nothing.

Personally, I think that it is stupid that Geeklog hasn't been made timezone aware yet and we dont have to hack its code for this crap.
