Time Zone Fix Support Thread

Los Angeles time is correctly listed in the two files mentioned, but my site is stuck on GMT. Any other suggestions? Could this be a server issue?

includes\extra_configures\time_zone_fix.php is the only file necessary to be installed on Zen-Cart version 1.51 Take it from the folder 139gh.

Hours of research, and the answer is just this simple, imagine!

Thanks.

Not quite. See post 52
You need to include the same file in 2 places (edited for your time zone)

One for the ADMIN
YOUR_RENAMED_ADMIN\extra_configures\time_zone_fix.php

and one for the CATALOG (Store Front)
includes\extra_configures\time_zone_fix.php

I have officially been zenned.

Thank you X 10000000....

I had initially changed my timezone in php.ini, and that fixed my timezone issues only in my admin area but kept giving me wrong time stamps on orders.

Next I added the recommended timezonefix file to includes/extraconfigurations and that fixed my order time stamp, but my order update times where still messing up and I really did not know what to do.

After reading your comment just now, I uploaded the file also to myadmin/includes/extraconfigurations and voia! It works, my order update times are now correct.

Thanks you guys for sharing the knowledge.

Zencart 1.5.1 - since the plugin only goes to 1.3.9, I started to manually make the changes. I see in the query factory on 1.5.1, the following:

        if (getenv('TZ') && !defined('DISABLE_MYSQL_TZ_SET')) @mysql_query("SET time_zone = '" . substr_replace(date("O"),":",-2,0) . "'", $this->link);

But, I don't see where the TZ environment variable is set.

I already set the timezone for PHP 5.2 using the php.ini file.

Is there a recommended way to set the TZ variable through zencart, or should I simply copy over the time_zone_fix.php files from your 1.3.9 plugin?
