CE Phoenix Cart Forum

admin/orders.php displays the purchase date and time according to the time zone that the server is set to.

Is there a way to adjust the displayed date and time to make it display according to the time zone of the store owner?

I believe you just need to set date.timezone in your php.ini file.

Just guessing but could this be done by changing in configure files?
e.g.
change to

I just tried that, and it results in a 500 internal server configuration error.

Thanks for the suggestions. Whether I put your suggested code in configure.php or in orders.php, a test order's email notifications have the correct time on them whether your suggested code is added or not, but the dates generated by orders.php are an hour off whether your suggested code is added or not.

I think the issue is how the date and time are stored in the database, and whether the existing Phoenix code does any manipulation of the time values retrieved from the database. If there is no manipulation of the stored values, I think it's going to be off when the store is not in the same time zone as the server.

If in admin/includes/actions/orders/views/default.php I change to that fixes the issue in one spot. But being able to set the timezone in one location and have that setting affect the entire catalog would be a better solution, I think.
