Got the Time?

Jordan Sonny -- on Aug. 4 2006

Wrong time on my site

First I want to say, That installing YACS was about as easy as eating Moms Apple Pie. EASY !!! I have been trying other CMSs trying to find one I liked and the user could use. Some of them would not even bring up an install page, some were pretty hard. Thank you YACS ! I have had my site going for 4-5 hours now and I love it. BUT,I just noticed my time is wrong. It is 4-5 hours off. How do I change my time?

GnapZ from Caribbean 2970 posts	on Aug. 4 2006 Hello, Yacs use GMT time based on the hosting server. You can select your time zone in the control panel, system parameters. Look at your browser cache enventualy.

GnapZ from Caribbean 2970 posts	inspired from sonnyo on Aug. 8 2006 Sonnyo : Sorry, this function is automatic and look at the host time zone and the user time zone to define the local time. This function was in old versions of yacs. So you have to take a look at the serve time zone and the user time zone too.

Bernard from nearby-an-airport Associate, 7053 posts	on Aug. 9 2006 YACS always attempts to use GMT time stamps. For this it has to evaluate time shift on server side, and on surfer side. On server side, YACS directly queries the operating system, and the only adjustment to make is to properly setup the system software. On surfer side, YACS uses a small Javascript-software to retrieve information provided by the browser. Once again, the workstation has to be properly setup for this o work.
