Can someone point me to the name and location of the php file in Teline III v 2 where I can change the time zone displayed at the top of the home page. I have found answers for Teline III v 1 and Teline IV but neither are correct for Teline III v2.

Update – thank you for your replies but no cigar. I am looking for a solution similar to the one at:

Do you mean “Last Update”?
Look at the alternative getLastUpdate function I developed. It takes into account the site time offset (or user’s time offset for those logged-in).

/plugins/jat3/jat3/system/common.php is where you can find it and modify.

Hope that helps.

The actual part that displays the time in the template can be found in templates>ja_teline_iii_v2>blocks>header.php

Look for the code below

<p class="ja-updatetime"><span><?php echo JText::_('Last update')?></span><em><?php echo T3Common::getLastUpdate(); ?></em></p>

There are many mentions of changing that in the other threads as well as the suggestion by Gray above.

I edited this php file but it didn’t change the outcome. I am looking for a solution similar to that at:

but for Teline III v2

The original function getLastUpdate from /plugins/system/jat3/core/common.php looks like
[php]
function getLastUpdate(){
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();
$query = ‘SELECT created FROM #__content a ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 1’;
$db->setQuery($query);
$data = $db->loadObject();
if( $data->created ){ //return gmdate( ‘h:i:s A’, strtotime($data->created) ) .’ GMT ‘;
$date =& JFactory::getDate(strtotime($data->created));
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$tz = $user->getParam(‘timezone’);
$sec =$date->toUNIX(); //set the date time to second
return gmdate(“h:i:s A”, $sec+$tz).’ GMT’;
}
return ;
}
[/php]

PHP gmdate() function, you see at the end, is identical to the date() function except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

So, you can put
[php]
return date(“h:i:s A”, $sec+$tz).’ EST’;
[/php]
But it’ll be not valid, if your server’s time is not EST. In this case you need to use time offset (as here) or date_default_timezone_set as in the example you pointed to.
