I have already received many bug report and email for my site wetogether / Published News which is used by pligg version 9.8.2. The site was running fine but suddenly I am getting this type of problem. However, let me explain the problem >>

When anybody submit any story it sets up the time 2 Days ago. But actually the time is the running time. I don't know much about pligg system but I am pretty sure its about time stamp. Some how the time is being set 2 days back from its actual posting time.

please have a look on this you will understand wetogether / Upcoming

Help is very much needed

Thanks in advance

Go to:

libs/util.php

replace your unixtimestamp function witht his:

function unixtimestamp($timestamp){
    if(strlen($timestamp) == 14)
    {
        $time = substr($timestamp,0,4)."-".substr($timestamp,4,2)."-".substr($timestamp,6,2);
        $time .= " ";
        $time .=  substr($timestamp,8,2).":".substr($timestamp,10,2).":".substr($timestamp,12,2);
        return strtotime($time);
    }else{
        return strtotime($timestamp);
    }
}

make sure you backup what you currently have first.

Altronix.

Thanks for your reply.

But I could find only this extra few lines in my current libs/utils.php file and those are >>

else {
		if(strlen($timestamp) == 0) {
			return 0;

Though I have changed those by replacing your given code, but still things are not OK.

What should I do?

[netfreak]

I have replaced that code but still not working.

Is there anything what I can do to solve the problem ?

Help needed..

how did u solve this netfreak ?

Does anyone know how to solve this in Pligg 9.9??

ALL the timestamps are entered wrong in the database, in such a way that every single entry you send appears as "posted X hours ago" when you've just sent it, and this can range considerably (sometimes 4 hours ago, sometimes 20 hours ago).

I've checked the database and the dates are just being entered wrong (it's not a "rendering" problem when seeing the item, but a storage problem, which I believe to be worse).

Any solution yet?

Same problem here

Any help will be appreciated

I believe server time causes this problem, so I resolved the problem by substracting the time offset from time difference.

in utils.php, where the time difference is calculated

PHP Code:

function txt_time_diff($from, $now=0){
    global $main_smarty;
    
    $txt = '';
    if($now==0) $now = time();
    [COLOR="Red"]$diff=$now-$from;[/COLOR]
    $days=intval($diff/86400);
    $diff=$diff%86400;
    $hours=intval($diff/3600);
    $diff=$diff%3600;
    $minutes=intval($diff/60);

    if($days>1) $txt  .= " $days ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Days');
    else if ($days==1) $txt  .= " $days ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Day');

    if($days < 2){
        if($hours>1) $txt .= " $hours ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Hours');
        else if ($hours==1) $txt  .= " $hours ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Hour');
    
        if($hours < 3){
            if($minutes>1) $txt .= " $minutes ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Minutes');
            else if ($minutes==1) $txt  .= " $minutes ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_Minute');
        }
    }
    
    if($txt=='') $txt = ' '. $main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Story_Times_FewSeconds') . ' ';
    return $txt;
} 


changed $diff=$now-$from; to $diff=$now-$from-14400;

4 hours(14400 sn) time offset
