TOPIC: Time problem

When entering an event with the starting time 20.00 hour, this time 20.00 hour) is stored in the database. When I view this event it shows that the starting time is 22.00 hour.
So it seems that the shown time considers the time offset but the stored time doesn't.

The time is stored in GMT time in the database and uses the user's timezone (or if none set the default Joomla ones) to show the event starting times. This is intendend

The problem is now that the time which was entered not compares to the time shown.
In my case (for a footbal club) the title of the event includes the day and time entered but in the detail page another time is show (I'll try to add an attachement).
I can make a work around by entering the time two hours before but that would give a problem when the summertime ends.
In my opinion you have to save the time in the same way as it's shown.

Dear Yves,

I've still got a problem with the time issue.
As you can see in the attachment in my previous post the entered time is not shown in the detailed list-view.
This is not working for me.
In Seminar this was no problem and the time was shown as it was entered.
Could you please look at it again?

Hi Erwin,

okay i'm going to change this for the next version and add an additional field to choose the events timezone.

Dear Yves,

Is there any indication to give when you can add the events time zone?
If it's not possible in, let's say, two weeks, can you give me a hint where and how I can fix this temporary in the code by subtracting two hours of the start-, end- and closing time of the event (as far as I can see it's only shown wrong in the event detail page - I don't use the module)?

Reason why I'm asking this is because I use the component on a website of my soccerclub to sign up for canteenservice.
We are hoping we can let our members sign in for next season in a couple of weeks (games do start on august 9th).

Hope to hear from you.

Best regards.

Hey Erwin,
I actually think that your website configuration is not properly setup and that is why you see the wrong time.

Please make sure to set up the correct timezone. Once you've done this please test it with the Article manager.
Create a new dummy article (title = test time, content = teset) -> click save and look on the right -> does it show the correct saved time? If it doesn't it means that matukio will also not show the correct time.

So in matukio if you create a new event with title:
"Event 20 april 17:00 - 19:00"
and you set up start time 17 and end time 19 and you save this event -> is it shown with the correct time in the backend? If it is not, then it means that your timezone is not properly configured.

In the frontend if you are not logged in -> it should show the time with timezone applied from the global configuration. If you are logged in, it will take the timezone from your profile settings, provided that you have set a timezone. If you haven't set up a timezone in your profile settings, then the global config will be taken.

Again -> if you see different time from the one you entered for start and end time it means that something is not properly configured on your server -> wrong timezone, wrong timezone in the user profile etc.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hey Daniel,

The problem still exists and is not caused by a wrong configuration.
I've changed my server offset time (minus 2 hours) and now Matukio works fine but articles made in Joomla have a creation time that is two hours earlier than the real time.
I've noticed that there are more users that have the same problem (see compojoom.com/forum/104-bug-report/17107...er-2-stunden-spaeter ).

Are you using the latest matukio version? Is this happening in frontend or backend?
Regards,
Daniel

Okay. Now you've got me!
In the latest version this issue is solved.
I didn't see it in Release notes and in this topic there's no comment that the problem is fixed so I didn't notice it.
I'm sorry.
