Time zone issues was created by Michal Vorisek

Hi,

I am using K2 v2.5.4 and mod_k2_tools - calendar.

Joomla global configuration Server Time Zone set to Pacific time Auckland (+12hr)

there is a time issue displaying articles. most apparent it becomes when using mod_k2_tools calendar

clicking certain calendar date ie 22 Jun 2012 outputs correct items based on "created date" in K2. The item however outputs with time one day ahead. In this case it shows as 23 Jun 2012. (please see attached example).

calendar example: www.feastofcanterbury.co.nz/events-guide/

since the site is based on New Zealand time i need to keep global configuration set as is otherwise i am facing other issues.

many thanks for your help or any hint.

cheers.
m.

I'm also experiencing this issue with the k2 tools calendar module.. it it not following the server offset specified in global configuration and is showing dates using the actual server time.

Does anyone have a fix for this issue (I'm running the latest version of joomla 3 and k2)?

Hi. What do you mean? K2 calendar has a browse dates functionality. Are you talking about the calendar itself or the links it provides?

The calendar itself

I'm using the calendar on an events page. I set the create date for each item as the actual event date. However on the calendar the date is out by one day. e.g. if my event takes place on 4th July - but on the calendar it shows as taking place on 3rd July, if my event takes place on 6th July on the calendar it shows as 5th July.

My server is in california but my site is in australia. I have the server offset in global configuration set to australia/brisbane - but it seems that the k2 tools calendar module is using the server time - not the offset time.

The site is not live but I've attached a screenshot to show what I'm seeing.

Hope this makes sense.

Does anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this issue. It seems that the k2 calendar module is using the server time - not the offset time as set in global configuration?

Which version of Joomla!/ K2 are you using? Also which version of PHP is your server running and finally which other extensions are you using?

I'm running Joomla 3.3.6, Php 5.4.30, K2 2.6.9.
Other extensions are: RSform Pro, JCE editor. No extra plugins or modules.

As you can see in my screenshot (imgur.com/VkiNiPq) the dates in the calendar are one day before the actual K2 item's date.
I'm in the GMT+1 timezone, server time is also GMT+1.

What's the creation date on the item edit screen? Do you have any template overrides? If so, try to disable them for a while. Is this a multilingual site?

No multilingual site. Just one font-end language 'Dutch' , backend languages are Dutch and English (default, required).
For the k2 item 'Bedrijfsvoorheffing" the creation date is 2015-01-15 00:00:00 (shown in K2 items on the backend), but on the calendar it shows up on 2015-01-14, in the K2 category (left to the calendar) is shows as 2015-01-15 (15 januari, 2015).

I have tried the default Joomla template Isis (imgur.com/tO5c3Fv): same issue. So this is not caused by a template override.

There might be overrides also in the core component folder. So check this also. Finally, i suggest to enable Joomla! debugger and look out for the queries who start like "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #__k2_items WHERE YEAR(created)" . This is a simple count query. If there are no items in the specific date it should return no results.
