Time Zone offset possible?

I tried the search function, and couldn't find an answer (surprisingly). My host is located in a different time zone from most of my users. Therefore, the Calendar block highlights the next day's date long before the current day is over. Where do I add a time zone offset to the calendar to display the current date as highlighted until midnight local time?

There is no such functionality built in at this time.
I'll consider it for a future release.

RE: Time Zone offset possible?

Just in case anyone is interested, I had the same problem. Here's how I got around it...

At the beginning of calendar.php (after the 2 'require_once' lines), add the following line:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$zone=3600*9.5;

$zone=3600*9.5;

(9.5 is my local timezone, but you'll need to replace that number with your local timezone offset in hours from GMT)

Then change the following lines in calendar.php...

php Code:

Original - php Code
if ( !isset($_REQUEST['timestamp']) ) $_REQUEST['timestamp'] = time();

if ( !isset($_REQUEST['timestamp']) ) $_REQUEST['timestamp'] = time();

php Code:

Original - php Code
if ( !isset($_REQUEST['timestamp']) ) $_REQUEST['timestamp'] = gmdate("U", time() + $zone);

if ( !isset($_REQUEST['timestamp']) ) $_REQUEST['timestamp'] = gmdate("U", time() + $zone);

php Code:

Original - php Code
if ( !isset($_REQUEST['start_date']) ) $_REQUEST['start_date'] = date('Y-n').'-1';

if ( !isset($_REQUEST['start_date']) ) $_REQUEST['start_date'] = date('Y-n').'-1';

php Code:

Original - php Code
if ( !isset($_REQUEST['start_date']) ) $_REQUEST['start_date'] = gmdate('Y-n', time() + $zone).'-1';

if ( !isset($_REQUEST['start_date']) ) $_REQUEST['start_date'] = gmdate('Y-n', time() + $zone).'-1';

php Code:

Original - php Code
$timestamp = time();

$timestamp = time();

php Code:

Original - php Code
$timestamp = gmdate("U", time() + $zone);

$timestamp = gmdate("U", time() + $zone);

This should enable the calendar to run in your local timezone. If in doubt add

php Code:

Original - php Code
echo gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() + $zone);

echo 
gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() + $zone);

to the end of the file and see what time is displayed on the page.
