Question about Time Zone Offset mod

[gilby]

Thanks to gilby for the reply.

It looks like in includes/functions/salemaker.php code there are
several references to now(), as related to sale_date_end. I
would need to change all of those references as suggested. RIGHT?

Plus, would I need to also apply those same changes in the
product pricing code? And is that code

includes/functions/functions_prices.php ?

Or will just changing the salemaker.php code take care of the
product pricing displayed with the sale value? I'm still an egg !

Thanks for your help.

I don't use salemaker so don't have a need to fix this.
I would assume that every now() in salemaker.php would need to be altered.
There are 2 now()'s in the functions_prices.php that would probably need to be altered as well.

Be sure to backup these files before editing them

Well, some good news and some bad news.

I made the changes to includes/languages/english.php, includes/functions/salemaker.php and
includes/functions/function_price.php.

The good news is that it did not have an adverse effect on the
site. The bad news is that it is not sufficient. Looks like I also
need to make changes in the Admin files. The problem: the sale
end date, in the admin/salemaker is still linked to the server clock.

Anybody have some comments/help with this?

I appreciate it.

I FIGURES IT OUT !! I will post the full details in a couple of
days.

I have attached a zipped file that contains a readme.txt and the includes folder with the two files that need to be uploaded.

If you intend to use this code, PLEASE READ the readme
before proceeding. Always make backups of any code
that is to be modified.

I have used and tested this mod but make no guaranties.
Use at your own risk.

If you have any questions feel free to message me.

I would appreciate feedback as to any problems you may have
encountered and as to usability and understandability.

As an afterthought I decided to provide a couple of examples for
determining the value for the HOURS as per the mod I uploaded.

Both examples assume you want the sale to include 31 Oct 2009

Example 1:

Server location: New York
Store location: Los Angeles
Time difference: -3 hours
Set sale end date: 2 Nov 2009
Set HOURS: +21


Example 2:

Server location: Los Angeles
Store location: New York
Time difference: +3 hours
Set sale end date: 1 Nov 2009
Set HOURS: -3

Hope this is helpful.

Is there a way to get what exact code changes there are for each file since I will have to manually change them. I have the google checkout mod installed and that effects nearly all of those files. I tried to do a compare/contrast, but I couldn't see what was altered.

It should be standard that the author(s) of these mods provide what codes for manual alterations.

Great, now I'm really messed up ...

I restored original files ... and deleted out the database entry and now I can't get into Admin .... I can login ... but the next page (the admin index page) is blank.

In IE, the yellow warning triangle mentions something about missing object in the menu.js file .... which hasn't been touched.

Great ... have no clue what is going on now and thus no way to fix it.

I keep getting this in the log error file:

PHP Warning: require(includes/header.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/vintagegunleather.com/httpdocs/shoppe/admin/index.php on line 60, referer: http://www.vintagegunleather.com/shoppe/admin/login.php

I haven't touched any of those files. And which header.php file? There is no includes/header.php even in the original zencart files!!

Please see my resolution to my above post here:

The above also explains what was my initial problem with this module to cause all the problems to begin with.
