date output shows day ahead of actual created on

I have Ditto outputting a number of documents and I am using &dateSource=`createdon` to output the date an article was created.

However a document created on the 8th gets output as being done on the 9th.

I dont think this has always been wrong I a wondering if something has been changed somewhere to cause this, the documents have the correct day on them when I check the resource data.

Any ideas

Server offset time?

Here’s one solution: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=34055.0

Thanks for the link I chnaged the cod however still shows the dat after it was created, I am not sure if it is a server offset time because the server time is 6 hours behind my time so if anything it should show a date tof the day before instead of a day later.

I am guessing this is something unique to my install and not a common issue.

Thanks again

I think the link I provided above also shows a way to let you correct it with PHX when you display the date with Ditto.

I was able to fix it for me by changing the PHx plugin, more exactly the "phx.parser.class.inc.php" file.
I had to change line 270 from:
Code:

$output = strftime($modifier_value[$i],0+$output);

to:
Code:

$output = strftime($modifier_value[$i],($output + $modx->config[’server_offset_time’]));


I hope that this helps anyone and I do suggest changing the actual plugin because I think that this is the proper way, or maybe add an option to do this...

Well changing the code was ok but whatever I am meant to do with the phx/plugin is beyond my expertise.

Yes, that’s exactly what is suggested in the link.

The PHX parser code should definitely be updated.
