Guest shawn123 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Does anyone know how to change the time and date settings? My customers order invoices are stamped with the wrong time and date 7 hours ahead of my actual time here in West Texas. I went to >General Settings >Time and Date in the Admin panel and can't seem to get any results. No matter what I do the time is off-set by 7 hours. -Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aikdo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 the time will default to your servers time, however in the admin general settings you can tell it how much to offset the time by... You need to do this in seconds and place a + Or - before the amound depending if your adding to or removing from the server time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shawn123 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Is it minutes or seconds? Okay it was seconds. For 7 days ahead of my time I entered -25200 and it changed to the correct time, but now the time is in 24-hour clock. What code symbol do I use to adjust that? I will try %I....? Thanks! -25200 and %I got it woking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I couldn't get this to work at first go, so had to dig a little deeper, and got a result. To explain this function in a bit more detail, here's another example: For a server in Arzona, shop in UK, the shop is located 8 hours ahead of the server. Firstly, calculate the number of seconds that amounts to: Let H = number of hours (8 in our example) M = H * 60 (Hours * 60) ... = 480 Result = M * 60 (times calculated minutes (M) by another 60 for seconds) ... = 28800 Or to put it in a less complicated, but more confusing way: Number of hours * 3600! So now you need to enter in +28800 (YOU MUST include the + sign otherwise it won't work), and you'll see Local London time displayed correctly. > If the server is East of the shop, use - > If the server is West of the shop, use + Tried and tested! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carmel Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 This post is a bit out of date, but I have a problem that it doesn't solve. I'm exactly 9 hours ahead of my server. So, easy I put in an offset of -32400 which works perfectly for the time ... but the day doesn't correct itself, it's still 1 day behind reality. time offset --- need a day offset too! appreciate any help thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Add (or subtract) another 24 hours and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
