No matter which time offset I choose in the drop down in admin/time & date settings, the time doesn't change for new forum posts. User time offset is disabled, so time should be taken from the time offset setting... right?

After you selected the date, did you try to press the ">>" button then save ?

Yes, I've done that. My problem is that nothing changes as far as the actual time.

Example:

My server is in British Columbia and the time zone is Pacific Standard Time (PST). My current time & date is August 3 2010 06:04. After I choose my settings as shown the time is shown as August 2 2010 22:04.

Those are the built-in PHPFusion codes so they should work.

PHP version is 5.2.11

Does it always display GMT? Did you try re-uploading all files?

Yes it does. I have re-uploaded the files.

One thing that I've discovered is if you enable the offset user field and a user chooses an offset... if you later on delete the user field the value remains in the database

I'm having the same problem, the time was correct before I tried to change the format and now the time isn't correct.

Strange thing is that when you apply the offset the time changes when you look in the drop down menus to the correct time, just no where else when you save.

Since user_offset in table users, is always set and has value 0, if user didn't set anything, maincore function show_date() will fail in v. 7.01.00.

Code Download source
// Format the date & time accordingly
function showdate($format, $val) {
   global $settings, $userdata;
   if (isset($userdata['user_offset'])) { 
      $offset = $userdata['user_offset'];
   } else {
      $offset = $settings['timeoffset'];
   }
   if ($format == "shortdate" || $format == "longdate" || $format == "forumdate" || $format == "newsdate") {
      return strftime($settings[$format], $val + ($offset * 3600));
   } else {
      return strftime($format, $val + ($offset * 3600));
   }
}




A fix seems to be to exchange:

Code Download source
if (isset($userdata['user_offset'])) {



With:

Code Download source
if ($userdata['user_offset'] <> 0) {

user_offset should not be always set, since on new installations it should be disabled by default and therefore the database field shouldn't exist. However, if it does always exist, it indeed defaults to GMT. I'll fix this in SVN soon.

If that was the intention, then you need to edit the following:


1.

In user_offset_include_var.php find:

Code Download source
$user_field_dbinfo = "";


Replace with:

Code Download source
$user_field_dbinfo = "char(5) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'";



2.
In the users table, delete the core field user_offset


3.
In cookie_include.php find:

Code Download source
if ($userdata['user_offset'] <> 0) {


Replace with:

Code Download source
if (isset($userdata['user_offset'])) {


4.
In edit_profile.php find and delete:

Code Download source
$offset_list = "";
for ($i = -13; $i < 17; $i++) {
   if ($i > 0) { $offset = "+".$i; } else { $offset = $i; }
   $offset_list .= "<option".($offset == $user_data['user_offset'] ? " selected='selected'" : "").">".$offset."</option>\n";
}

}

Thanks. I was having the same problem. The

if ($userdata['user_offset'] <> 0) {

fix did the trick for me.
