Time of comment,post,message half an hour behind the actual forum logged user time?

VanillaFan

Hi...

Vanilla version=Version 2.0.18.11

Time of comment,post,message half an hour behind the actual forum users. See below image

It's same for post,comment,message..all are behind half of hour the actual forum logged user time

Most of our forum users are from Sri Lanka. all their user table HourOffset value = 9 (But it should 9.5)

I see vanilla calculating logged user as below equation

        `$ClientHour = $this->Form->GetFormValue('ClientHour');
           $HourOffset = Gdn_Format::ToTimestamp($ClientHour) - time();
           $HourOffset = round($HourOffset / 3600);`

Even i set user table value HourOffset 9.5 as it will be round to 9

Problem:- Some countries like Sri Lanka,India their actual HourOffset should be 9.5. All Half-hour timezones don't work.

Please help me

Only full hour offsets are supported as of now.

I am sure you could modify it to work with half hour offsets.

as stated in a previous discussions on the forum - you would have to change the column structure relating to offset in the user table to allow decimals e.g. -5.50

This should get filed as a bug.

thought it might be, I guess the last guy didn't care enough to file it as a bug, lets see if the next person cares enough to file it.

I wonder if this is a bug to related to hour offset, nobody responded.
