Hey guys, just a question if anyone is interested in solving this, i have been using a hack for the time for latest update and i want following:

in the latest update i want to show the date (d m Y) and Time (H:i) for my latest MODIFIED article.

the problem is that i want to use server time which shows correctly on modified date under certain article but on front page it shows UTC time which is -1hour for me… timezone in Joomla config has been set to +1 and article modified dates show correctly just on frontend it shows it still in GMT.

can anyone solve this?

EDIT: No answer yet from anyone?

if i understand correctly, this person wants the Last update box in the upper left area to show in his local time as opposed to GMT. i have the same problem. i have set my global config to EST, but the Last update time still shows as GMT. did anyone figure this out? see attached.

thanks.

Ok, you need make a customization to resolve the issue:

1) open the file: pluginssystemjat3corecommon.php and find the following code:

[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]

replace:

[PHP]

function getLastUpdate(){
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();
$config = &JFactory::getConfig();
$offset = $config->getValue(‘config.offset’);
$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));
$sec =$date->toUNIX(); //set the date time to second
return gmdate(“h:i:s A”, $sec+$offset).’ GMT’;
}
return ;
}
[/PHP]

2) when done you access the global configuration to change your timezone

THanks
