Date issue was created by selcuk
Hi all,

I have a feed from Toyota Australia to display in one of our websites.
However the reader doesn't display the correct date and tehre is a refresh/display difference.

eg. One news published on 26 May but on our website listed as 27 May.
Also by the time we captured the image the latest news (published 28 May) wasn't displayed on our side. Nexr dat it appeared as published 29 May.
See doc attached. Top image is from our website, bottom image is from another Toyota website

How can I fix it?

Cheers,

Selcuk

Hi. I don't see any attachments. Regarding the date you should check the actual date that is passed in the XML source of the feed. Regarding the time it takes to update, you need to understand that module is caching the output for some time. You need to take a look at the module settings "Feed Caching Options" . You also might need to take a look at the Joomla! cache settings.

Hi Lefteris,

The system doesn't allow me to attach the file.
It simple displays different output for exact time. Our reader output displays different time and one less (latest) news.

I have checked the XML source and reader did not get the correct time. XML source is www.toyota.com.au/service/widgets/newsarticle/rss/all.rss

First news listed <pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2014 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
Actual website : www.toyota.com.au/news/toyota-takes-next-steps-in-hybrid-power

Our website displays same news with date: 29 May 2014 | 00:00 am
Actual website: new.tunedms.com.au/home/rss

Cache time (in minutes) for feed content and remote images has set for 20 minutes.

I don't think it is a cach issue. It seems somehow reader does something weird with the date and it may be the reason for showing the latest news a day later.

Is there a back end setting to set?

Cheers,

Selcuk

Have you changed the format date in module settings. Also take a look at the PHP information page in Joomla! administration. Check what is the current timezone of your server.

Hi Lefteris,

To experiment the difference I use different date format for different feed.
The issue is same for all of them.
They are on the same page but on different tabs
new.tunedms.com.au/home/rss#toyota-global
new.tunedms.com.au/home/rss#toyota-australia

Toyota Australia top news listed as <pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2014 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate> on their source file (www.toyota.com.au/service/widgets/newsarticle/rss/all.rss)
Exact same news listed on our website as 29 May 2014 | 00:00 am


I have also checked joomla date settings, server (Apache) date settings and they are all Ok.
It has set to Sydney time. (+11 currently with Daylight Savings)

Time zone difference may explain why the time and date are different on our website than the sorurce file.
It it doesn't explain late refresh. Could you please give me some tips to fix?

Cheers,

Selcuk

It's the server timezone causing this. If you cannot edit the server configuration then try the following code in line 12 of mod_jw_sr_fr.php:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

Date issue has been resolved.

Reader doesn't recognise "-" and it translate into "&#39;" like this

Toyota Eyes Sports-Car Racing&#39;s Biggest Prize

Any thoughts anout it?

Cheers,

Are you talking about the dash or the apostrophe? As i can see it is displayed exactly as in the feed so this is a feed issue www.toyota.com.au/service/widgets/newsarticle/rss/all.rss .
