: Change date to +15 hours

Hi,

My display date at the top of the page seems to be 15 hours behind (location Australia) Can someone tell me what I have to change to get the time display accurate. I have set the Joomla time to my zone but no joy.
Cheers

Steve

Hi  Steve, I am not sure how you would do that, it pulls off of your server time. You can view the following to see if there is any information here:

Hi Mike

I have several templates installed from your competition Yootheme and they all display the correct time without any intervention from me. I am not a coder. How come Yootheme templates display time correctly and your don't? I can only assume they get the time from the Joomla global setting which has my local time set. Once again, how do I do this?
Cheers

Steve

If you edit your template's index.php file and at line 229 you will find:

<?php $today = date("l, F j, Y"); PRINT "$today";?>

Change that to:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
$today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");
PRINT "$today";
?>

You'll see I set the time zone to Australia/Sydney, if that needs changed here is a list of available php time zone variables for Australia:
