Turning off event logging

Hi everyone,

This may be a silly question, but since I can’t find anyting on it, I’ll ask it

How do you turn off event logging? The database table has been filling up with Warning messages and reaching 2 Gigs of space. The warning messages aren’t really valid for the coding so I’m hoping to turn off the event logging, at least temporarily.

I see at http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API:logEvent that the coding for inserting it into the DB is on line 1285 of that file, but I can’t comment out those lines without commenting out the call to it - and I don’t know where that is. Is there something in the Config I’m totally missing??

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Glenn

So what are the messages that are filling up the event log? I’ve found that they usually helpful to identify an error condition.

It has to do with a date() function I used. But my limited PHP knowledge, I don’t quite understand what it means.

[tt]date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ’America/Chicago’ for ’CDT/-5.0/DST’ instead[/tt]

I used to get those too. Try adding the following command to your PHP file or snippet:

date_default_timezone_set(’America/Denver’);

Google for the right time zone label but this is the one I use in my area.

Thanks. I tried it and it worked great!
