Module: Automatic Time Zones

Thanks a lot ;)

Kindest regards,
Giam Teck Choon

I have published version 6.0.1. This version fixes a PHP warning:
Missing argument 1 for phorum_mod_automatic_timezones_addon()

The warning only results in a problem when PHP is configured to display warnings in the browser.

Hi Maurice,

I've just downloaded and applied the update to this module and have a strange problem..

Minimum Phorum-Version requirement not met for module "automatic_timezones"
It requires at least version "5.2", but the current version is "5.2.14".
The module was disabled to avoid malfunction of your Phorum because of that requirement.

I know I am a little behind on phorum updates, but surely I shouldn't get this message ???

Thanks, Jon.

Right, that should not happen. Try editing the info.txt for the module. Update the require_version line to read 5.2.0 instead of 5.2. I guess that the version check does not like the missing last digit here.

I'll look into the version check code, to make sure that this doesn't happen for future Phorum versions. "5.2" should indicate "5.2.0 or higher" for sure.

Just applied the change suggested to the info.txt and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the amazingly fast response :D

G'day Maurice / Joe,

Is it correct the Automatic timezone can't handle the extra half our offset we have in South Australia? We are on GMT +10:30 hours at the moment (GMT +9:30 hours + 1 hour DST = 10:30)

I have the same issue with the Time Zone Offset in the General settings, no half hour offset.

Anyway to workaround this?

Cheers,
AJ

Worked for me too. Somebody should probably edit the info.txt files in both the tar and zip.

Hi Maurice,

While trying to track down a totally separate issue for one of our user I noticed lots errors in the web server log:

[Fri Jul 06 08:45:41 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /path/to/webroot/include/format_functions.php on line 248

A quick search on the forum indicated that others had seen this issue and it was related to this module, the main offender appears to be a google bot so I would like to see if we can fix this to ensure the site is being index properly. I'm running the latest version of phorum and this module, please let me know if there is any other information I can give you.

Thanks, Jon.

I think I found the problem. Please try version 6.0.2 of this module.
