Hi,

I am using JA SOCIAL template. I want to change the top left today’s DATE and LAST UPDATE time according to my location Australia/Melbourne. There are few posts regarding the day and last update but nothing seems related to the time zone I am looking for. I have changed the Time Zone in the Global Configuration but still not getting the correct time and date.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

i believe that time and date, it is using the one which has been set up in the server.. meaning your hosting server.. so whatever time or date, then it is following the one from the hosting server.. not from our joomla setup..

Try opening templates>ja_social>blocks>topbar.php and changing

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

to

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

<?php
$gmt = T3Common::getLastUpdate();
$gmt = str_replace(" GMT", "", $gmt);
date_default_timezone_set("GMT");
$timestamp = strtotime($gmt);
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York"); // time is in EST
$est = date("h:i:s A", $timestamp);
echo $est." EST";
?>

</em></p>

But change the bits in red as required depending on your locale. A full list can be seen here

Hmm, the above code only seems to work with the later T3 framework. I’ll have to let the devs take a look as I am not sure where the time is generated.

After you have edited the above code please try editing plugins>system>jate>core>common.php

find

function getLastUpdate($fieldname=null){
if (!$fieldname) $fieldname = 'created';
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "SELECT `$fieldname` FROM #__content a ORDER BY `$fieldname` DESC LIMIT 1";
$db->setQuery($query);
$data = $db->loadObject();
if( $data->$fieldname ){ //return gmdate( 'h:i:s A', strtotime($data->created) ) .' GMT ';
$date =& JFactory::getDate(strtotime($data->$fieldname));
//get timezone configured in Global setting
$app = & JFactory::getApplication();
$tz = $app->getCfg('offset')*60*60;
$sec =$date->toUNIX(); //set the date time to second
//return by the format defined in language
return strftime (JText::_('T3_DATE_FORMAT_LASTUPDATE'), $sec+$tz);
}
return ;
}

and replace with

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 ;
}
