SID-00978: Date and time

I am trying to use the Comment plugin. This works fine but since we are 12 hours ahead of GMT, when somebody leaves a comment in the morning, the date tag is of the previous day. I have changed the localization from gmt to servertime but this does not seem to help. Is there a way I can get this to give the correct time and day when a comment is posted?

Thanks

Discussion and Answer

Not sure, plugins should be aware of gmt vs servertime configure setting. Which plugin are you referring to, the CommentPlugin or ActionTrackerPlugin?

I am refering to the CommentPlugin. After the comment, it shows the date the person put in the comment. And this tends to show the previous day if it was entered during our morning.

Eg. This is really good. -- OseiAmoafo - 23 Sep 2010 but this was actually entered on the 24 Sep 2010

I changed the category of this question from ActionTrackerPlugin to CommentPlugin.

Look at the comment plugin template rules, TWiki.CommentPluginTemplate. You can replace %GMTIME{}% with %DISPLAYTIME% or %SERVERTIME%. Best to overload in the user template so that your modifications do not get lost on upgrade.
