The joomla time zone should be effecting the time of the comments. But also please make sure that you are not logged into your website when you look at the time. If you are logged in, we will take the timezone from your user profile.

Let me know if this solves the problem?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hey Uzi,
Confirmed! The problem is with 1.7 most probably it is the same with 2.5 . I'll look what is wrong with this tomorrow and will give you a fix.

Have a good night!
Daniel

Hey Uzi,
I still don't understand why this peace of code doesn't work, but I know what you need to do to fix it.
So go to components/com_comment/joscomment/utils.php
on line 592 you have this code
		$jdate = new JDate($strdate);
change it to:
		$jdate = new JDate($strdate, $tz);
And delete the next line:
$jdate->setOffset($tz);

Now it should show the comment with the proper timezone.
Cheers,
Daniel

P.S. If you are happy with the component and the quality of the support please leave a small review here:

Hi Daniel sorry for the huge delay.

just wanted to update you:
yes its solved the problem for the logged out users but its not effecting the logged in users.

basically I comment the if ($user->get('id')) and its fine for me I don't need it.
//if ($user->get('id')) {
		//	$tz = $user->getParam('timezone');
		//} else {
			$conf = & JFactory::getConfig();
			$tz = $conf->getValue('config.offset');
		//}

Thanks again !

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see why it doesn't work with the user timezone and will fix it in the next version!
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

This fix doesn't work anymore (joomla 2.5.11).
JDate setTimezone() allows to use now only DateTimeZone object.

My fix
$conf = & JFactory::getConfig();
$tz = $conf->getValue('config.offset');
 
$jdate = new JDate($strdate);
 
try {
  $tzObject = new DateTimeZone($tz);
  $jdate->setTimezone($tzObject);
} catch(Exception $e) {
  //echo $e->getMessage() . '<br />';
}

what's more
$formatDate = $jdate->toFormat($format);
must be
$formatDate = $jdate->toFormat($format, true);

I see something similar is described here compojoom.com/about/blog/entry/how-to-use-jdate
Hope it may be usefull also in new version of comments.

CComment5 uses:
$formatDate = JHtml::_('date', $strDate, $format, true);

So it should be fine.
