I know this is an old question.

How do i change my server time zone for news, my server is MST (GMT -7) and i need to change this.

I have already updated the timezone in Forums and my account.

how do i hack the mainfile.php for this?(RN2.20.00).

Thanks

This fixed the news date to match my local time.

Now i am searching how to change the Site Info v2.2.2 © Server Date/Time block to match my local time....

---
changing values (3600) in block-User_Info.php file changes the displayed gmt time zone (its a start)

Code:

$sdt = date('j F Y'."\n".'H:i:s T');


    //$zone = date('Z')/3600;


    $zone = date('Z')/28800;


    if ($zone >= 0) {


        $zone = '+'.$zone;

---
but now im tryng to change the server hour because it remains wrong Rolling Eyes

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

How do you change the Time (Zone) displayed in the Site Info v..2.2.2 Block?

My User Info block currently reads:

Server Date/Time
29 April 2008 12:00:00 GMT (GMT +0)

When (as an example) I want it to read:

Server Date/Time
29 April 2008 04:00:00 GMT (GMT - Cool

Actually the block uses its own code. It is designed to reflect the SERVER date and time. Towards the bottom of the block code you will see this code. That is where you will need to make your adjustments.

Code:

    $sdt = date('j F Y'."\n".'H:i:s T');


    $zone = date('Z')/3600;


    if ($zone >= 0) {


        $zone = '+'.$zone;


    }


    $content .= '<center>'._SERDT.'<br />'.$sdt.' (GMT '.$zone.')</center>';

Regarding the Site Info block; Could someone, please, offer a sample of what should be changed in the following if you want your server to reflect a - 2 hours? (I'm PST, server is CDT). I think I have to add something like - 7200, but I'm not sure exactly where.

$sdt = date('j F Y'."\n".'H:i:s T');
$zone = date('Z')/3600;
if ($zone >= 0) {
$zone = '+'.$zone;
}
$content .= '<center>'._SERDT.'<br />'.$sdt.' (GMT '.$zone.')</center>';

Thank you

i think there should be a global option in nuke preferences to set the timezone of the whole site, just as in phpbb an others. this is a must have feature...

Right, that has already been set, and yet Site Info still shows the CDT time zone, two hours ahead of my local time.

I have followed all the instructions and my news postings are showing the proper time stamp - it's just Site Info that I need to sync.

Thanks
