i’ve set the server offset time in the manager site settings to 5 hours. This is correct. However whenver i use the newslisting or usercomments snipppets the returned time is the local server time (i want it to be GMT) not Australia. any ideas. am i missing something? the [[DateTime]] gives the local time
That’s a great question davy__
I suspect [[DateTime]] does not reference the server offset time declared in the manager.

That makes the offset value available, but a snippet would have to make use of it ($modx->config[’server_offset_time’]). Like this:
if(!isset($timestamp)) {
$timestamp=time();
}
$offset = $modx->config['server_offset_time'];
return strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", $timestamp + ($offset * 60 * 60));

this line added a lot more time than i wanted
return strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", $timestamp + ($offset * 60 * 60));
behaves better with simply
return strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", $timestamp + ($offset));
i take it i have to modify every snippet to get this to work. has anyone done this for newslisting or usercomments just in case

i first copied UserComments snippet and renamed to something else (and referred to new snippet)
I took out the line
$createdon = time();
and put in
$timestamp=time();
$offset1 = $modx->config[’server_offset_time’];
$createdon = ($timestamp + $offset1);
and it seems to work
Not a programmer at all at all so probably a better way to do it. if whover does snippets could think about offset times too that would be great
