I'm Ulli, the developer of 1stMover extensions. Most 1stMover extensions are free of charges or fees and this is the forum site where you can get free support for these extensions. The word "free" is important and it means too, that I'm doing these free things in my free time and sometime I'm not able to answer all the questions posted here. I would like to ask for your patience.

If you want to help me (writing manuals, answering the posts here) then this will be very appreciated.

Before posting new post, please read the documentation and the previous forum posts as answering the same questions takes a lot of time which is missing for developing and for answering not yet answered posts.

Thank you very much for your understanding, Ulli

Eventlist Autotweet publishing wrong event date 2 Years, 1 Month ago
Events from Eventlist are posting correctly with one exception. The start date published is always one day earlier than the actual event start date. Is there a date offset setting that I am missing? Also is there a way to format the date that is published in the tweet? Thanks for your help and a great component.

Hi!

> The start date published is always one day earlier than the actual event start date.
I can not reproduce this on my test server. Do you have some more information. Happens this for each post. For new and edited events? From backend and frontend? ...

> Also is there a way to format the date that is published in the tweet?
No, at the moment there is no way to format the date. I have noted this for later investigation.

1. What timezone has you configured in Joomla options? (UTC +/-XXX)

2. Another question: Has these events only start date or a range with start and end date?

3. Can we do a short test? Please go on your server to the folder /plugins/system and open the file autotweeteventlist.php in an editor. Go to the end of the file and comment out the line "$date->setOffset(JFactory::getConfig()->getValue('config.offset'));".

So the code should now look like:

Code:



if ($this->show_date) {

    $tmp_dates = explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', $dates));

    $date =& JFactory::getDate($tmp_dates[0]);

    //$date->setOffset(JFactory::getConfig()->getValue('config.offset'));

    if ('' != $addtext) { $addtext .= ', '; }

    $addtext .= $date->toFormat('%Y-%m-%d');

}

Now do a new test please!

Okay, I have found this strange bug with the timezone hell... This is now fixed in Release 1.2 of the AutoTweet NG Eventlist-Extension. Same problem is with SimpleCalendar. Also fixed with AutoTweet NG SimpleCalendar-Extension version 1.1 Ulli
