Hi. Our site (blakes7online.com) has been running on 7.02.07 since January 2014 and on versions of Fusion 6 prior to that. This version (7xx) was a clean install, new database etc. We have a fairly active forum and recently users have been reporting timestamp errors on posts (specifically, in many cases, posts being dated 36 minutes into the future). I think this is a server issue, but I wanted to look at the time settings in admin just to check nothing was awry there.

I am the main (super) administrator and have had no problems accessing/changing anything else in the admin panel. Btw, not a coder, but a fairly literate PC user. Anyway, Admin Panel/Settings/Time and Date returns a completely blank page. Nothing at all - though it is coloured in the theme for our site. There is just no data there - no menus, no text, nothing. Can anyone shed any light on this for us, please? Thanks. smile

This requires a more in depth checking on your end, but I can point to you where:
1. Check DB_SETTINGS for whether settings_name is : serveroffset and timeoffset - both values is 0.00?
2. Maincore has set - date_default_timezone_set($settings['default_timezone']);
3. Turn on Error reports - paste in your errors here and wrap in a [code] bbtags so we can know in more detail what the real issues are.

Thank you.

I Think your version of PHP is to low, below 5.2.0.

In adminstration/settings_time.php go to line 106:

and comment it out:

Code Download source
$timezones = timezone_abbreviations_list();

hein,

1. Okay, I know this sounds stupid, but where/how the hell to find DB_SETTINGS? I tried looking through FTP and PHP MyAdmin. No luck. Sorry to fall at this first basic hurdle.

2. Yes, maincore has that line.

3. I am seeing multiple errors reported since following the step advised by douwe_yntema, above, but this predates that (13th Sept). Any use?

- Thanks again for help and patience. :)

The settings Hien referred to should now be editable via the Admin Settings > Time/Date page if you can now access it.

Hi, this is what I'm now seeing in Admin Settings. We are based in the UK, as is our host server. There is nothing in the final dropdown menu, Default Timezone; I mean, if I click it to a select an option there are no options, nothing happens. Thanks for all help. smile

EDIT @ 21.13: Okay, so when the times in the forum are appearing wrong, the time given in Time/Date for Server/You/Guests is also wrong. But this is not consistent. At around 8pm GMT today time was correct in forum and in Time/Date, but by about 8.10pm both were 36-37 minutes incorrect (ahead of real time). By around 8.40pm, all correct again. 2nd jpeg illustrates. Windows time is correct and the actual (GMT) time at time of screen grab.

It seems to me that it is a server time issue, maybe on the mysql server. Time and dates are stored based on server settings and read from store time.
Worth to mention is that some clock scripts in themes read your local time and not server times.

Check php.ini and look for:
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
; date.timezone = "UTC"
date.timezone = "Europe/Amsterdam"

Probalbly dat.timezone has an ; before it.
Your timezone is most probable
date.timezone = "Europe/London"
