[SOLVED] cb activity does not show the right time

Hi, i'm using cb activity version 4.2.1+build.2018.02.28.20.45.20.38cb85b8c and community builder version 2.1.4+build.2018.03.19.18.24.36.eaec2182a.

whenever we post anything on cb activity, the time captured is UTC, it wont offset the GMT in joomla setting. We have change various setting but it is still giving us timestamp GMT +0

is there any other setting that we should change?

is datetime capturing from mysql? as datenow showing the right time

The datetime is always stored in UTC then offset to server or local. For local offset it uses the users timezone specified within their Joomla user account (the params field for CB profile edit and registration). For server it uses whatever the global timezone setting is in Joomla. Edit your user within CB > User Management and check what your accounts timezone is. You can see the offset it's using when you hover the timeago usage long enough; it'll show as -OFFSET (e.g. -05:00) at the end of the datetime.

Server time is correct.. which is my current time zone.. Joomla is currently UTC (default settings)

Edit your user within CB > User Management and check what your accounts timezone is. You can see the offset it's using when you hover the timeago usage long enough; it'll show as -OFFSET (e.g. -05:00) at the end of the datetime.

CB User management >> Allow CMS User Parameters is set to "No". Time ago is (11/04/2018 03:13:10) where else the right time is 11/04/2018 11:13:10

Even if you turn off user parameters you may still have a timezone saved to your user already. Edit your user within Joomla user manager and check what timezone is set for your account. Hover over the timeago longer as it'll show you the offset as part of the elements title. Not sure what more to suggest as this all works perfectly fine in my tests. Please ensure CB is completely up to date as there were some timeago issues awhile back that have long been fixed, but if you're not on latest build you may not have those fixes.

thanks, now the problem is solved
