[djfreq]

How can i adjust my shared server timezone/ overcome not being able to set timezone so that my Joomla installation is localized to my timezone

Welcome to the forum, djfreq.

 

I haven´t tried it yet, but try to modify "Time Offset" in Global configuration > Locale.

Thomas hit the spot dead-on!

Welcome to the forum, djfreq.

I've tried that. I'm actually having problems with the Gig Calendar. I can enter the correct time but it seems to be working on the eastern time zone rather than my mountain time. Changing the global config doesn't help at all.

[TCH-Thomas]

The only two things I can think of is...

 

1. Have you made sure that the config.php file saved your change? You will need to make it writeable temporarily to have it save the change.

 

2. If yes on the above, try in the official gigCalendar forum, http://gigcalendar.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=76

As thomas says, search the gigcalander forum. If Joomla is correct on its timezone that you have set, something is not right in the gigcalander setup

 

Good luck and let us know how you got on!

I've contacted the gig calander people and they say the same thing that if the timezone offset is ok they have no idea. Is there anyway i can get moved to a server in the mountain time zone?

 

if not would a perl script be able to fix this on the server side. I've seen some references to running a perl script to offset live stats and guestbooks. would this work with Joomla?

This would be a question for the helpdesk, but I would assume they will say no.

 

Also, I tried changing the timezone on my joomla site to the time in Sweden and it worked like a charm.

Have you made sure that the change have been saved in the config.php file?

my global config is set to Moutain time and so there should be a gig listed here
