I've just installed Viart on our hosting providers servers.
 
Does anyone know if you can somehow set the timezone in Viart so that all the records created in the database and displayed on the admin pages are correct for my timezone??
 
Reason is that of course the charts and data in the admin pages group things by date and therefore roll-over differently to my local time-zone making it harder to work out when things actually happen
 
If not can someone tell me what timezone it might be using or how to perhaps find it?
Thanks

ok - so with 255 views and 4 months down, no responses
 
 
On this issue -- it comes into play for customers more so that me (I can of course adjust for timezone issues)
 
When someone posts to a forum, forum articles are time-stamped and displayed. I am assuming that the time-stamping is referenced to the servers local time??
 
I'm in Adelaide, Australia and its currently 8:55am on 25 March -- see what this displays when I click [Add Message]

Sorry, I didn't see this post previously. Here is what Vera told me when I asked about changing mine from US Eastern to US Mountain time...
 
If you open 'var_definition_example.php' you can find there an example:
 
// save new date with time shift in seconds (3600 - 1 hour)
//$va_time_shift = 0;
 
So you need to open the file 'var_definition.php' and add the following line:
 
$va_time_shift = 7200;
or
$va_time_shift = -7200;
 
Hope this helps! Smile

How do I calculate the $va_time_shift value ?

The answer was just handed to you on a silver platter!
 
for every hour you want it to change, whether forwards or backwards (-), multiply that by 3600.
 
Example:
 
If currently you're showing 12:00, and it's really 10:00, you'll do -7200.
 
If currently you're showing 12:00 and it's really 14:00, then you'll use 7200.
