AgoraCart Free User Forums

Hi, I would like to make agoracart's time into one that is in the Pacific standard time (PST - GMT 0200). I have looked all over the place for the config files, but can't find them. Would I change the time in CPanel? Or could I go in a file, and do something like time = time() - 3; ?

Thanks in advance.

i haven't personally tested this. credit goes to Mike Hart.

For those who have a cart aimed at the UK, but have their server located in
the US, here is a quick n'dirty improvement to the time that Agora reports
on the emails and in the log.

Have a look at the agora.cgi file, and find the subroutine

sub get_date

Within it, you will find the line...

($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);

Change this to...

($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = gmtime(time);

...and the times on the invoices will change to GMT times - OK for us in the
UK!

It's not a perfect solution, but it's right for half the year, and if you
add "GMT" to your email page, I doubt that anyone would complain.

Hope that this helps someone as they trawl the archives (as I did!), and
maybe someone can offer an improvement to (even manually) compensate for
daylight saving??

another thing would be to contact your hosting to find the solution to set your time for your domain.

is there a solution for us east coasters with west coast servers?

Here is a repost from the agora2 form of a time adjustment hack

I am using '4.0K-3 Standard' and it looks like this would work...

agora.cgi

Change this:
$time = time;

To this:
$time = time + 10800 # add 3 hours

sub get_date_engine

Change this:
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);

To this:
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime($time);

I have not tested it but it looks right from what I can tell...
