I would like to change the last update time at the top of the template to my local time zone, how can I do this? In addition is it possible to make time adjusted to user’s time zone? If yes , how?
Thanks

Hi icbl,

The time is fixed with GMT and our devs are considering to make it configurable, maybe we will update this into jat3. For the time being, you can edit this file : templatesja_socialblockstopbar.php, try replace this:

<?php echo T3Common::getLastUpdate(); ?>
with another snippet, I assume you know how to show time using PHP.

Regards.

Simply open the file templatesja_socialblockstopbar.php with notepad and replace the line


<?php echo T3Common::getLastUpdate(); ?>

with this


<?php echo date("H:i:s D", time());?>

This was never meany as a live clock, that would require a far more complex script. If you wish to have that you would have to find some code and adapt it to your needs.

Here is one suitable script – http://shearersoftware.com/software/web-tools/clock/

Thanx for your tips but it seems to show local time of the host and not my time zone.

If you want to read the locale of a user and then display that would be a far more complex script. The original idea of this was not to show the time but to show when the site was last updated. If you want a clock then this template does not really support that and you would need to code it yourself by adding a script such as the one I linked to above. Looking at most news sites around the world they also just show the last updated time as that is the important one for news stories. It is also difficult to accurately read where a user is in the world. Finally, we all have a clock on our computers don’t we?

It is however simple to set a particular time zone but that would a fixed to the owners preference. Just use the code below but replace the ***** in red with the offset in seconds. For example, if you used +25200 that would be plus 7 hours from the server time. Make sure you add a + or – to the number of seconds.

<?php echo date("H:i:s D", time()******);?>
