Timezone in mods ~ nuke6.5 off by 6 hours.

I set the correct time zone, but so far, there has been a 6 hour difference b/t my time and the time it says it is in several mods, includeing: stats, news, reviews.....

Any of the mods that i guess go off of server time. I know that i can change this by editing the files that tell the page where to get the time from, but where would i look for this. The time is correct for profiles and forums, but not for news and stats, those are the ones i'd like to have accurate time on for now.

Do you knwo if your server where your website is hosted is in the same country where you are located. I have seen this problem when users have their websites hosted in Japan and they live in the US. The server is set to Japan time, but they are not on Japan time... :?

I had this problem before, and found a fix in these forums. I can't remember where exactly but if you search a bit i'm sure you'll be able to find it. I

What you have to do is simply edit this 1 line on this 1 file and add the "off time". say its marked 6pm but really it was 9 when you posted, then you'd add "7200" 3 hours. 24x3=72. You get the point. Either a little search wouldn't hurt!

to alter to time for posted news.

Open up mainfile.php and change the line:

Code:

    $datetime = strftime(""._DATESTRING."", mktime($datetime[4],$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1]));

in the function FormatTimeStamp to:

Code:

    $datetime = gmstrftime(""._DATESTRING."", gmmktime($datetime[4],$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1])+36000);

replace the +36000 with your time offset from gmt.

Hope this helps.
You may also what to find the line '_DATESTRING' in the lang-english.php and change to %Z to your timezone name.
