Time Zone Fix Support Thread

[Woodymon]

I spoke to soon. All timestamps are now in alignment and showing Pacific TZ. Thanks for the info Gilby.

Will this work fine for v1.5? I am in the PST/GMT-8 time and my shop is apparently 8 hours ahead of me (I guess that would make it GMT+0). I hope this mod will fix the fact that my sales always end 8 hours too early..?

See Posts 64 and 65
The query factory part is built in to 1.5.0 and 1.5.1
DON'T upload that file of this mod.

The "other" 2 files with the TZ variables are what you need.

I was looking for an update to this file. Have since discovered that with version 1.5.4 + of Zen Cart to make you zone the one where you are situated (and not where your site server is located) the solution is simple. For earlier versions still look at this line:

https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....2Btime+%2Bzone

As mentioned I am using 1.5.4, so all I needed to do was:

a) Open /includes/extra_configures/set_time_zone.php
b) Go to the following line:
c) $TZ = ‘’; // eg: ‘Europe/Oslo’
d) Change to:
e) $TZ = ‘Australia/Melbourne’; // eg.’Europe/Oslo’
f) Upload the file

Use the following to find you location:

http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

I hope this saves at least one person a lot of time!

With Zen v1.5.4
Be sure that you don't alter the admin side files (because that set_time_zone.php file is automatically used by both the admin and non-admin).
