Has anyone stumbled upon the timezone bug introduced in Joomla 1.6? The problem (which is global to all operations, such as updates, article availability, etc.) happens when you set the system timezone to anything besides UTC. This is just one of the reasons I’ve labeled J!1.6 as still in the beta stage and not ready for production sites. I’ve reverted back to J!1.5 and Teline II.

Could you be more specific on this issue?

Sure. First, set the timezone in admin to anything besides UTC. Then, create an article. It will appear with a timestamp a few hours in the future and the article manager will show the post as published, but pending. View other time-specific areas, such as the time you logged in – it will also be off. The bug has already been added to the J!1.6 bugtracker.

I plan to use J1.5 until July, when J1.6.1 should have been released, and hopefully this bug has been squashed.

hello walterjr,
This is a bug of Joomla 1.6. But you can try this way to fix this bug:
Go to your template/blocks/header.php then add this code
<?php
date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Los_Angeles’);
?>
Remember to change the parameter (‘America/Los_Angeles’) to your desired time zone, for example “Asia/Shanghai”. 🙂

Have you updated to Joomla 1.6.1 as I believe this was fixed as part of that release.
