Time Zone Fix Support Thread

Hi Gilby,

I'm been running your mode perfectly until now. The time is change again.

I'm in Australia. I've try to re-install the mode a couple times and it still not working.

Maybe the time server http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php is not up-to-date. Not sure.

Is there other ways to fix this.

What has changed about your website. Upgraded, installed new mods etc?

I am in Oz as well and it works fine

Post the contents of your time_offset.php file
This should be the SAME in BOTH
admin\includes\extra_configures (back end of store)
and
includes\extra_configures (front of store)

other solution just Edit the PHP.INI file to specify the correct timezone will be OK...if you use PHP5

Edit or Add this line to the php.ini:

date.timezone = "America/Denver";

Use the appropriate option at http://php.net/timezones

That will set the "php" time
but you also need to set the "mysql" database time!

Hi gilby,

I'm using your Time Zone Fix and the only file i have is time_zone_fix.php.

and the codes:

<?php 
// Full list of timezones here: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
//
// You can modify the TZ (Time Zone) by using a named Country/City
// eg:
// TZ=America/Los_Angeles
// TZ=America/Denver;
// TZ=America/Chicago
// TZ=America/Costa_Rica;

putenv ('TZ=Australia/Melbourne'); 

?>

The code is still the same when i first installed it.

and the query_factory.php is still the same.

The time i get Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:38:37** -0500GMT**.

Maybe i've have installed some new mod, but don't know where to start. :blush:. Please help.

Well there is only 3 files to this mod...
So checking that the correct version on the file is in the correct place shouldn't take too long.
Remember the renamed YOUR_RENAMED_ADMIN directory needs to be altered.

I notice you mentioned that you started having problems just before you noticed you had been hacked.
Could be something left over from this?...

Otherwise what has your host changed on your server?

I haven't check with my host about this. I give this a try. Thanks gilby. Will update you about it.

How can I set the summer time and winter time?
:oops:

Well..... You don't need to....
This mod relies on the php on your server using an up to date list of time zones throughtout the world and should automagically set those times.

If you are finding that it isn't following summer and winter time
then your server is not set up correctly with the up to date list of time zones or you have chosen a time zone that doesn't follow that version of summer/winter time.

You may need to choose a different more relevent time zone for your area.

I just can't get this mod to work. Tried different timezones just to test if the other timezones works. But nothing, the TZ remains the same. :(

Anyone else who had this problem and solved it?

I spoke with my host and they said it's either something wrong with the script or I did something wrong adding it.
I defenately added the files correctly.

I'm having issues too.

I'm on 1.3.9h and followed the installation instructions exactly.

Out of interest, what host do you use?

Can this issues with certain hosts? I'm with One.com.

Works with most tested linux hosts
I can't tell from their website if they are linux or MS

By the way > I'm having issues too.really give us NO info to work with.

What type of server are you on?
What have you done?
How have you installed it?
Which version of zen-cart?
Which version of this mod did you install?
What happens?

In the "readme" there are 3 steps and checks that you should do before proceeding to the next step.
What step does it beak on and how does it break?

Hi,

I have ZC 1.3.9h installed and working.

I downloaded the zip file, extracted and edited the 2 files time_zone_fix.php, even thought the doc refers to time_offset.php, uploaded each respective files (3 of them) to the correct folders on the server.

I see no change in the date/time on my admin home page (section just under the top header.

What am I doing wrong? :(

Thanks.

Before uploading did you rename the YOUR_RENAMED_ADMIN directory so that its the same as whatever your actual admin name is?
Are you running this local or is it live on a linux server?
Post the contents of one of your time_zone_fix.php files?

I basically edited the files, then ftp each php file to the server at the correct server folders. (linux)

File located locally:
tzf_v1.00\139gh\YOUR_RENAMES_ADMIN\includes\extra_configures\time_zone_fix.php

Uploaded to server at:
secret_admin\includes\extra_configures\time_zone_fix.php

Done the same with the other 2 files.

Thanks for the help. :clap:

goto admin -> version
Search near the bottom in the "Environment" section
Confirm that there is a TZ variable there
and its value is Australia/Sydney

Just checked, but no, there is no Environment variable TZ.

Does this mean the file time_zome_fix.php is not being called?

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is a message when I put the code in index.php

Warning: putenv() [function.putenv]: Safe Mode warning: Cannot set environment variable 'TZ' - it's not in the allowed list.

Damn! :(

All good now, got the hosting provider to allow it and now it is working.

Thanks for your top support! :clap:

Glad you got it sorted
