Every day at 6 PM (central time USA -- actually since the time change it is now 7 PM) they are reset to a new day. My client would like this changed to midnight instead. How can I do this?
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 07:56:51 Hi That sounds like your server time is different to your local time in which case you'll need this addition to vsadmin/includes.php https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/parameters.asp#date $dateadjust=-5; Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:02:22 I just checked the time on the server and it is set to the correct time in my time zone. Should the end of the day reset at Midnight (local time)?

Your host may have a different time in your hosting control panel, than the physical location of the servers. Add this to a .php page to check $timezone = date_default_timezone_get(); echo "The current server timezone is: " . $timezone;
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:12:41 Update - I checked the time on the server and it is showing the correct local time. However; I just placed a test order - my local time is 10:11 AM on 3/20/18 -- The order showing in the admin says: 2018--3-20 15:10:34 -- That is 5 hours ahead! So when my local time says 7 PM - the admin thinks it is Midnight. Why would that be happening - when my server is in the correct time? Is there somewhere else to set the time?

JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:19:08 It showed: The current server timezone is: America/Los_Angeles You're right that is not my local time - but it is 2 hours behind! The time on the admin is showing 5 hours ahead! This is very strange. Can anyone help me figure it out?

JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:39:38 No I have not added that yet because it seems my server is actually set for Los Angeles time - but that is two hours BEHIND my current local time. So why would the orders be showing a time 5 hours AHEAD of my current local time? I am working with my host right now to get the server set to my current local time.
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:50:33 Ok, my server and all associated files are set to my current local time (which is 10:50 AM USA). I'm going to try a test purchase and see what the admin says regarding the time.
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 08:55:11 It's still not working correctly. My host and I changed the time from Los Angeles time (which would be 8:53 AM right now) to my current local time (which is 10:53 AM). We rebooted the server and I went into the site and did a test purchase. Here is what it shows in the admin: Tue 20 Mar 03:52pm How do I fix this?

JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:08:03 Now that we have set the timezone to my correct current time - I just placed an order (current local time 11:06 AM) - the admin shows the order time as 4:06 PM -- what do I set the parameter to??
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:14:11 I have set the parameter and it's now working. Could someone explain why this has to be set like this? If the time zone in my server is correct - why is this time incorrect?
Phil ECT Moderator United Kingdom 7715 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:22:31 It sounds like the actual time is set incorrectly even though it's on the correct time zone perhaps? * Database Migrations and Conversions* * ASP to PHP Cart Conversions* *Contact Us* *Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin* Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:41:16 No, we checked everywhere and the time and the timezone are correct in every place on the server. This must be a common issue, since you address it with a specific set of parameters.
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:42:50 It's a common issue because users and their servers are not always at the same location so there will be time differences that need adjusting. Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
JustDucky923 Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1333 Posts	Posted - 03/20/2018 : 09:49:28 That makes sense. I'm just wondering why we are having this issue. Apparently it's been like this all along, they just didn't notice the time stamp on the orders before and thought that the day ended at 6 PM for some reason!
