Server Time Offset

[TonyP]

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether there is a way to offset the time displayed by CMSMS from the server time?

My server is in PST and my site is used by people in EST so everything (news items etc) show up as being posted 3 hours before they actually were.

I don't see anything in the admin panel or config file that allows this.

Thanks,

T.

Have you tried to set locale value in config.php?

Thaks for the quick reply cyberman. I did notice that line in config.php but don't know what the options are. Do you know what the $config['locale'] param would be for eastern standard time?

[cyberman]

Take a locale for a country that uses eastern standard time.

For instance - if I wanna german settings I'm including de_DE at the named line.

I fixed it by adding the following line to my .htaccess file:

SetEnv TZ location

Where location is selected from a list here - http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

So in my case the line added was:

SetEnv TZ America/Toronto

Thx for that.
