Day and Month incorrect from NSN News

Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:02 pm

Hi to everyone

I notice an issue when I installed NSN News from nukescript which shows wrong day and month and time.

It shows this

Tuesday, November 30 @ 00:00:00

Everytime I make a new topic it always shows the same. Any suggestion?

Sad

ok! I am here again with good news. I spent more than one hour to figure it out what was the problem on news modules. IT WASN'T ANY BUG OR ANY ERROR ON NSN NEWS. I COULDNT FIND ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT:

The solution is there is a bug on mainfile.php

Open your ftp
Open your mainfile.php where your config.php is

Search for

Code:

function formatTimestamp($time) { 


    global $datetime, $locale; 


    setlocale (LC_TIME, $locale); 


    ereg ("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2})", $time, $datetime); 


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


    $datetime = ucfirst($datetime); 


    return($datetime); 


}

Replace with

Code:

function formatTimestamp($time) { 


    global $db, $prefix, $datetime, $user, $cookie, $locale; 


    setlocale (LC_TIME, $locale); 


   $convtime = strtotime($time); 


   if (is_user($user)) { 


      $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT user_timezone FROM ".$prefix."_users WHERE user_id='$cookie[0]'"); 


      $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 


      $timeoffset = intval($row['user_timezone']*3600); 


      $datetime = gmstrftime(""._DATESTRING3."", $convtime + $timeoffset); 


      } else { 


      $datetime = gmstrftime(""._DATESTRING4."", $convtime); 


      } 


    return($datetime); 


}

Open language folder on the root where mainfile.php is
Open lang-english.php

add this at the end

Code:

define("_DATESTRING3","%A, %B %e, %Y @ %I:%M %p"); 


define("_DATESTRING4","%A, %B %e, %Y @ %I:%M %p %Z");

This will solve all your problems

Very Happy

I am so happy to fix this.

I know several people who use NSN News but they have never reported this and the original function you posted is used for the standard News module also.
Just so I'm sure of the problem, are you saying that all news posts had the exact same date and time or were they just formatted incorrectly.
