I am having an issue with RN showing the wrong time. Here is an example: System time is set correctly to 13:00 but the news module and Nuke Sentinel IP tracking are both showing a post at 20:00.

Any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

The php.ini of the websever like apache2 is using another timezone as your system. So you have to change it to your own timezone. If you get access to the php.ini of your webserver, then change it in there. In the php.ini of the webserver you can find a line for the timezone. This is normally the best way, if you get the access to the webserver configs. If not, then you can do it manually in the php-scripts of RN.

Here you will find the defined timezones: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

If you have found your correct timezone than open mainfile.php and find:

php Code:
if (@ini_get('date.timezone') == '') {

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
}


add before something like this:

php Code:
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");


This is an example of my timezone, you will have to replace it with your own timezone which you will find it in the list on php.net!

This also possible with a own created php.ini in your web-root folder, if your hosting company is providing this option...

OR you can do it with a htaccess-based rule for the apache2 webserver:

apache Code:
SetEnv TZ Europe/Berlin

OK, I got the IP tracking to show the correct time now by adding date_default_timezone_set("America/Chicago"); as you suggested , but the Donations module is still not reporting the correct time. Paypal receipts for the donation show the correct date/time.

Example: Today I made a donation:
Paypal shows: Date: Nov 4, 2016 Time: 15:23:29 PDT

This date was put into this date into the transaction database: 22:23

Here is the appropriate code from the ipnppd.php:
php code:
php Code:
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO transactions (`txn_id`,`business`,`item_name`, `item_number`, `quantity`, `invoice`, `custom`, `memo`, `tax`, `option_name1`, `option_selection1`, `option_name2`, `option_selection2`, `payment_status`, `payment_date`, `txn_type`, `mc_gross`, `mc_fee`, `mc_currency`, `settle_amount`, `exchange_rate`, `first_name`, `last_name`, `address_street`, `address_city`, `address_state`, `address_zip`, `address_country`, `address_status`, `payer_email`, `payer_status`) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')", 

$_POST['txn_id'],$_POST['business'],$_POST['item_name'],$_POST['item_number'],$_POST['quantity'],$_POST['invoice'],$_POST['custom'],$_POST['memo'],$_POST['tax'],$_POST['option_name1'],$_POST['option_selection1'],$_POST['option_name2'],$_POST['option_selection2'],$_POST['payment_status'],strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',strtotime($_POST['payment_date'])),$_POST['txn_type'],$mc_gross,$mc_fee,$_POST['mc_currency'],$_POST['settle_amount'],$_POST['exchange_rate'],$_POST['first_name'],$_POST['last_name'],$_POST['address_street'],$_POST['address_city'],$_POST['address_state'],$_POST['address_zip'],$_POST['address_country'],$_POST['address_status'],$_POST['payer_email'],$_POST['payer_status']);


I tried adding date_default_timezone_set("America/Chicago"); as you suggested and this did fix the other time problems as I said above, but it had no effect on the donation module.

Any other suggestions?

The function strftime in your script is using the time and/or date according to locale settings. To set the default timezone manually in a php-file can be overrided by another timezone setting in another file and it will not affect internal functions like strftime.

You could try to change this part:

php Code:
strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',strtotime($_POST['payment_date'])),


to:

php Code:
date('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',strtotime($_POST['payment_date'])),


Be careful, its not tested.


As I pointed, the best way is to set the timezone in the php.ini file of your webserver. I don't know your server-setting but normally you should have a option to set a own timezone in your webserver configurations like cPanel. This option should you find in the PHP settings. If you doesn't get access to the php.ini settings, then contact your hosting company. This is an simple entry.

Thanks for your reply, nerelax. I got it fixed. Just for fun I checked the IPN error log for the donation module and saw this :
Quote:
PHP Warning: date(): Invalid date.timezone value 'UTC -6', we selected the timezone 'UTC' for now.
I changed "UTC -6" to "America/Chicago" and it now works.

Thanks so much for you time.
