Board / phpbb plugin .. change time?

Hi,
i run my s9y on a US webserver with the board / phpbb comments plugin .. so if someone makes a new post it shows the Los Angeles time as posting time .. which is 9 hours after CET .. is there any way to change this?
the plugin uses the php "date" function and syncs with the servertime .. i assume ..
thanks
Matt

Log in and go to configuration. Under Appearance and Options you'll find "Server time Offset".
Edit: Think I misread the question there...
I took a look at the file
serendipity_event_forum.php and discovered this block of code starting on line 161:
Code: Select all
case 'timeformat':
$propbag->add('type', 'string');
$propbag->add('name', PLUGIN_FORUM_TIMEFORMAT);
$propbag->add('description', sprintf(PLUGIN_FORUM_TIMEFORMAT_BLAHBLAH, 'h:ia'));
$propbag->add('default', 'h:ia');
break;
which I can only assume is where the changes will be. Either that or on line 1275:
Code: Select all
'POST_DATE' => date($this->get_config('dateformat')." ".$this->get_config('timeformat'), $post[0]['postdate']),
I can't really be of much help, I don't know
what to do with it (or if I'm even sniffing around at the right place). Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hi!
Maybe changing it with this could do:
Code: Select all
'POST_DATE' => date($this->get_config('dateformat')." ".$this->get_config('timeformat'), serendipity_serverOffsetHour($post[0]['postdate'])),
Using this serverOffsetHour function should basically apply the offset calculations. Sadly I'm not a real timezone expert, so I don't know if this will be your intended output

Hi Garvin and Mangek,
thanks for your ideas .. but your proposals had no effect ...
Is there a possibility to influence the date() function .. at the admin screen for the board plugin i can change the time format .. or a least to hardcode it in the php file
Translation not 1:1:
Timeformat
The time format for postings. It is used the PHP-Function date() (Default: "h:ia")
a forgotten .. S9y is a 1.3.1
Thank you!
Matt
