Date is generated by the following block. PHP function date() is not corrected by the Joomla configs of time offset.

<p class=”ja-day clearfix”>
<?php
echo “<span class=”day”>”.JText::_(strtoupper(date (‘D’))).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”month”>”.date (‘m’).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”date”>”.date (‘d’).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”year”>”.date (‘Y’).”</span>”;
?>
</p>

Could you try simply adding at the beginning of /blocks/topbar.php for example:
[PHP]echo date(‘l jS of F Y h:i:s A’);[/PHP]
It will print out the current date and time of your server.

Hi
Thank @gray about extra information.
Yes, we should use Joomla API ( JDate ) instead date() function ( PHP ).
I’ll try to fw this issue to dev team.
ps:// @issay: have you solved your issue?
Thank you

mine was fixed with this code:
[PHP]<p class=”ja-day clearfix”>
<?php
echo “<span class=”day”>”.JText::_(strtoupper(JHTML::date(‘now’, ‘D’))).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”month”>”.JHTML::date(‘now’, ‘m’).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”date”>”.JHTML::date(‘now’, ‘d’).”</span>”;
echo “<span class=”year”>”.JHTML::date(‘now’, ‘Y’).”</span>”;
?>
</p>[/PHP]

<blockquote>mine was fixed with this code:</blockquote>

but this is not a real solution. because with this it will show ‘today’s date’ even if site is not updated for tha last month!! so its like a clock calender. I need to show last updated day. because i dont update my site every day. so i dont want to show a fake date.

Oh ok, yea that part is meant to show only todays date, the time only is suppose to show that last updated time. So I guess someone needs to tweak that for you to show last update date.

Hi
I old post i’ve asked please give me for FTP access than i can help you.
Btw, if you are asking datetime in article -> please use created time of article instead.
But if you are talking currenttime .. time() is corrected.

Thank you

It depends what you want to fix. The above solution is for offsetting current date accroding to the server time offset.

If you need to offset the “Last updated” time, find in T3 Freamework plugin’s file /common.php. In that file, find function getLastUpdate and replace it with the code below.
[php]
function getLastUpdate($fieldname=null){
if (!$fieldname) $fieldname = ‘publish_up’;
$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 by the format defined in language file with server offset
return JHTML::date($data->$fieldname, JText::_(‘T3_DATE_FORMAT_LASTUPDATE’));
}
return;
}
[/php]
You can change $fieldname = ‘publish_up’; to $fieldname = ‘created’; if you’d like to show last time articles created, but not published.

Then, in en-GB.plg_system_jat3.ini find T3_DATE_FORMAT_LASTUPDATE (3rd line) and set it to the format of date/time you need. For instance
[php]T3_DATE_FORMAT_LASTUPDATE=”d.m.Y”[/php] will output “20.10.2011”
[php]T3_DATE_FORMAT_LASTUPDATE=”d F Y”[/php] will output “20 October 2011”
See format parameter here to alter the date/time output.
