What are the changes for the update?

Look them up here!

Great thanks, I tried looking through the thread, but looking through 12 pages is a hassle. I think there needs to be a more standardized way of seeing the changes for a mod, perhaps all authors should update the first post with the new changes when they are approved, or something like that.

...or something like that.

There is a version history in the install.xml of this mod.

i have a problem on my board and i would like to fix it before installing the mod.

My board time is always wrong. it's 8 hours behind my local time. i don't understand why. I checked my time in the cPanel of my server and it's correct. why is it wrong on my board? how do i fix it? how can i fix it to be ok with every users that visits the board?

Nice mod MartectX!

Noticed a minor bug however after installing on my board. In the /includes/automatic_dts.php file around line 187, you have this:

Code: Select all

'-6.00'		=> 'America/Detroit',		// [UTC - 6] Central Standard Time
'-5.00'		=> 'America/Chicago',		// [UTC - 5] Eastern Standard Time

That is incorrect. Ya got 'em flipped - Detroit is UTC -5, Chicago is UTC -6. I was wondering why after installing this mod it said my area was incorrect and my time set back one hour

For your next version, might I suggest Dallas for UTC -6 and New York for UTC -5, those are a bit easier to visualise I think when ppl are trying to figure out their area.

Overall, great job!

Whoops, thanks for pointing that out!

This table is only for the conversion of old time zones to the new ones. In the list users will see in their UCP all time zones are available.

Overall, great job!

Thank you very much!

Hi,

This mod seems to have a problem to work with gym sitemap, when I want to display the rss page it gaves me the following error :

"<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function automatic_dst_cache() in ..."

The problem seems to be related to the xml template use to render the rss page. When I disable the xml template, everything's fine.

Anyone have an idea to solve this ?

EDIT: I solved my problem, just have to put in gym_style.php :

Code: Select all

require($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/automatic_dst.' . $phpEx);

MartectX,

originally i had automatic_dst_1.0.5 installed on my at the time 3.0.2 board. Now i've upgraded the board to 3.0.6. and wanted to upgrade to the latest version of this mod too and am wandering if i have to do all the updates that happened in btwn or go straight to the latest mod version. thanks.

also (that's more of a general question) is there a value in adding modx files to your forum files system. also is there a value in adding .xml past updates files to your forum files system, other than to keep them somewhere so you can check what the changes were.

Actually never mind the first question, I've uninstalled the old mod the best i could as some of its code got lost during my board updates and the new mod works beautifully (thanks for a great mod!). Still interested in the second question (about the modx etc) if you don't mind answering. Thanks.

Indeed, and next version will make this much more comfortable (read: Will remove this problem altogether)!

Well done, I'd have recommended to do it that way anyway.

I'd store the modification files somewhere on your machine or on your server for later reference (for example when you needed to look up how to uninstall Auto DST 1.0.5). Other than that they do not serve any purpose.

thank you.
