The forum software (SMF) does have server settings to control which time zone is displayed:


  • Overall time offset - Not all forum administrators want their forum to use the same time zone as the server upon which it is hosted. Use this option to specify a time difference (in hours) between the desired time zone of the forum and the time zone of the server. Negative and decimal values are permitted.
  • Server timezone - The server timezone tells PHP where the server is located. Forum administrators must ensure this is set correctly, preferably to the country/city in which the server is located. More information can be found on the official PHP website.

So, basically, the "Overall time offset" for this forum needs to be set to "-7"

America/Los_Angeles would be better than setting it to -7.  That way it'd automatically adjust with DST.

Hell I just got the guy at the Mercedes dealership to change the frickin' clock from PST to PDT this morning!  LOL!

Was in getting a free car wash.  Only been in twice since I took delivery in February. 

We don't wash our cars here in Seattle much, it rains most days!

I don't know what the format for that option is, but if SMF needs the time zone name rather than a number, your way would obviously be better.    :)

Good to see a bunch of tech nerds here.

Who would have never guessed they would be on a Brothel site.    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You guys all remember your junior high school locker combinations right?

Let's help Jennifer get that "embed video" feature up and running?

I am sure all the ladies are into Music Videos.

I promise I wouldn't post any porn or any more Mamas and Papas videos.

The Server timezone has a (partial) list of available timezones.  America/Los_Angeles is the timezone that covers US Pacific Time.

We didn't have lockers.  Trying to remember if my high school had them but I don't think they did

On a forum I admin we use Simple Audio Video Embedder and it works fairly well.  Its been having some issues with youtube since they started doing https and youtu.be addresses.  But that is probably more about not updating the mod.

If you didn't have school lockers where did you hide your drugs?

I like nerds.   I always try to keep an autistic guy on my sports betting team.

They are really good with numbers and stats not to mention card counting.

:D :D :D


Jennifer,

mm is a "system adminstrator" maybe the two of you could "meet up" and talk "coding"

IIUC, the "Server Timezone" setting would require something in the "America/Los_Angeles" format. I don't know where the server actually is so it might not be that specific time zone. Then the "Overall time offset" requires a number (negative & decimal values accepted) of hours for the offset amount from the "Server Timezone."

Therefore... I'm betting that the Overall Time Offset should be -7, and the Server Timezone will depend on where the server actually is.

The most common setting is to have them match but there is no real requirement to do so.  PHP after 5.1 requires you explictly set the timezone either in the code or through php.ini but there is no requirement that it matches the host's timezone or its physical location.  I've ran servers that were in Virginia as though they were UTC servers simply because we had a worldwide audience and using UTC is far easier in that case.

Never did them and didn't feel the need for them.

SysAdmin stuff is a really really small part of what I do.  I much prefer to code as it allows more creativity.

Great, so I will be looking for the "Mustang Ranch Phone App" to appear for the iPhone soon?
