Please make the below change and see if your issue persists.

IN: libraries/CBLib/CBLib/Date/Date.php
ON: Line 65
FROM:

Code:

$tz					=	Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'offset' );

TO:

Code:

$tz					=	'Australia/Sydney';

Please note this is just a test to see if there's an issue with CBs offset calculation.

Morning Kyle

The problem still persists I am afraid.

Code:

if ( ! $tz ) {
//$tz =	Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'offset' );
$tz = Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'Australia/Sydney' );
}

and I have checked the logs again. I forced an error elsewhere to make sure the log is working but no messages from CB there,

If it helps or is appropriate I can give you access to the offending site.

Regards

Nick

Please see my above reply. You did not edit the code as instructed. You need to replace that entire variables definition with just 'Australia/Sydney'. It's to force the timezone to it instead of replying on getCfg to return the offset, which maybe wrong and if it is would be what's causing your issue.

Hi Kyle,

Please accept my apologies for wasting your time. No excuse except lack of attention. :blush:

This time though

Code:

//$tz	=	Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'offset' );
$tz	=	'Australia/Sydney';

and that does fix the problem. The error no longer appears. That of course gives me a work round for my site for the moment.

Regards

Nick

Ok, thank you. I believe I can have this fixed quickly for next nightly release then. It appears our offset getCfg value could be wrong.

Ok, the below fix is being implemented for next nightly. This will correctly use the user timzeon and fallback to system timezone as needed instead of the calculated offset from UTC.

IN: libraries/CBLib/CBLib/Date/Date.php
ON: Line 65
FROM:

Code:

$tz					=	Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'offset' );

TO:

Code:

$tz					=	Application::CBFramework()->getCfg( 'user_timezone' );
