Hello I came here to report this issue… it seems the countdown pulls its time simply from the local client machine… so here I am in a coffee shop on my Mac.. countdown says 2hrs… if I change my Mac time to a day forward, all of a sudden, the countdown is finished.

Is there a way to get this module timer to use the server / Joomla time setting so that we (web admins) have control over it?

Hi,

JA Promo Bar module gets the server time of your hosting and you can get it from modules/mod_japromobar/tmpl/default.php file

/*Countdown document: http://hilios.github.io/jQuery.countdown/documentation.html*/
/*Convert to UTC time*/
$serverTZ = new DateTimeZone(date('e'));
$utcTZ = new DateTimeZone('UTC');
$date = new DateTime($params->get('countdown_end_date'), $serverTZ);
$date->setTimezone($utcTZ);

Regards
