CiviEvents Joomla Module with J2.5.x
January 02, 2014, 02:05:16 pm
The CiviEvents module appears to be subtracting a day from the event start and end dates when the event starts or ends at midnight (12:00AM). Any ideas of now to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

We're on J2.5.17 and CiviCRM 4.4.1.

just want to make sure, before I dig into the code.

In the meantime, you could start events at 12:01 am?

Actually, it occurs to me that the extension is technically correct -- midnight belongs to the day just ending while the new day doesn't begin at midnight, but one fraction of a second after.  Of course, this is far too precise for ordinary practice.

I suppose it is this sort of thing that drives people off to military time.

I believe conductorchris is correct. I reviewed the code briefly and believe it is accurately handling the dates. we have no choice but be precise about when the day starts/ends.

however -- can you give me a bit more specifics with your testing data so I can confirm.

- what parameters are you using in the module, specifically if you're using the default selection method or specific date ranges
- what your event start/end dates are for the problem event(s)

If I set the times to 12:05 am, then the dates are still off by a day (earlier). If I set the times to say 7 am and 11 pm, all is correct.

Attached is a screenshot of my settings in the module.

sounds to me like the issue may be your server's timezone setting. if that's not set correctly, the dates won't be offset correctly.

First checked the server time using the command line. It is set to EST.

The Joomla time was wrong as it was set to Central time, but changing it to the Eastern Time Zone did not make a difference in the dates displayed in the CiviEvent module.
