[SOLVED] Time in Profile Book was created by catalincb

I have a problem with the comments posted on Profile book. there is a difference about 2hours.
The strange thing this is happening only there.
For example if i create a user in cb backend or in frontend... i have the correct time when user was created.

And how can i set a characters limit in the comments posted by visitors/users?

It's using PHP date function instead of our UTC date functions. Joomla changes the PHP timezone so it gets offset before storing to the database. Then on display it gets offset again. There are plans to upgrade the plugin further that'll fix this, but not sure when at this time as am currently focused on CB Activity.

And how can i set a characters limit in the comments posted by visitors/users?

There's no feature for that.

You can try the below quickfix to force the datetime to store as UTC, but this won't fixing existing entries; you'd have to fix those manually in the database.

IN: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbprofilebook/cb.profilebook.php
ON: Line 278
FROM:

Code:

$entry->date					=	date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', $_CB_framework->now() );

TO:

Code:

$entry->date					=	$_CB_framework->getUTCDate();
