Hi guys,

Hopefully someone can help me on this issue, because it's been bugging me for a while. I live in Adelaide, Australian, and hence have the portal time zone set at +930 as it should be for Adelaide. However, the times and dates are still all out. Does anyone know a work around?

Thank you!! :)

I think there are a number of DNN Modules (core included) that look at the time zone that the actual physical server is on and ignore your setting.  I believe one example of this is the Log Viewer.  This is unfortunate, and more modules should take times zones into account better.

Thanks for your reply,

However, even the date that appears in the menu bar can sometimes be 1 day off, indicative of the fact that this, too, is not looking at the time zone. Is there anything that I can do?

Thank you again!!

Are you sure your time zone is set correctly?  You can set the default time zone for the portal, but each user has their own specific setting, which is what the [CURRENTDATE] skin object uses.  This skin object is located in Admin/Skins/CurrentDate.ascx, and uses the following code, so it should set it to your specific time:

Dim objUserTime As New UserTime

If DateFormat <> "" Then

lblDate.Text = Format(objUserTime.CurrentUserTime, DateFormat)

Else

lblDate.Text = objUserTime.CurrentUserTime.ToLongDateString

End If

Hey guys,

I've been playing around with this a bit more, and I am getting more and more confused. When I set the time zone as UTC 00:00, all the times are correct, but they are 24 hours out. That is, they display the correct time, but yesterday! Even though I live in Adelaide, which is UTC +9:30.

If I set it as UTC +9.30, then it is 14.5 hours out still. So basically, to get it to display the correct time, I would need it to display UTC +24:00, when it is meant to be UTC +9:30.

Clearly there is something going wrong with what I'm doing. I've set it as UTC +9.30 in both my own preferences and in the Host settings. Can anyone help me?...

Sean
