Calendar function - time it changes days

[Steve_UK]

Hi,

I LOVE the little calendar that shows all the photos uploaded each day etc. Thanks so much for that.

I wonder if there is a way I can alter one thing it is doing. Mine changes to the next day at 11pm each evening. I think I know why, our server is set for a time one hour different to local time.

There are settings in PP and vb that correct the times for photos and messages posted and I'm not noticing any problems with anything else as I use those, but the calendar changing days at 11pm does look a little odd so if I can change that somehow I'd love to know how.

Thanks,

Steve

In pp-inc.php maybe something like this

$today = getdate();
$today = $today + ($User['offset'] * 3600) + ($Globals['gmtoffset'] * 3600);

Thank you Chuck for the great support.

I'm not noticing problems anywhere apart from the Calendar, and I see that uses its own $today = getdate(); command in its template.

So, I have put your suggested code into that template, and my calpal.tmpl now reads:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I won't know until 11pm whether that works for stopping the day changing at 11pm for me or not, the calendar is still displaying fine after that change anyway, so that is a good start.

If I've not made the correct guess re what it is best to do above forgive me, it seemed to make sense as a way forward.

Chuck,

Just for info on this, my notion to alter the calendar .tmpl file with your code didn't work and correct the calendar day.

Also when I tried it just as you wrote it above that gave this error:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types

When people type comments under photos the time being set at -1 in the Photopost options seems to work perfectly, and it is only the calendar that seems to ignore the real time and instead use the server time.

calendar.tmpl of course says this below, and so seems to me to simply get the server time and then setup the variables from it, I'm not a programmer though so am guessing to an extent...

calendar.tmpl

Content visible to verified customers only.

Right which is why I suggested the code in pp-inc.php

Chuck,

That error I reported was what I got when I tried it where you said.

It didn't give an error in the calendar.tmpl file but it simply didn't work there.

The code I posted is placed in pp-inc.php in the calendar function itself where noted. You dont place anything in the calendar template

Chuck,

As I say, the code you posted gives me that error message when used as you specified.
