I am trying to help a user on the Joomla! forums that is having time zone issues with Joomla Watch but can't seem to post a new topic here because of issues with Math Guard:
(Search forum.joomla.org for "Joomla Watch - Stats start at 9am" since I can't post a link)

Do you know what the issue could be?

As for the time zone issue, I see other posts on these forums and will try to find one that will fix their issue.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
what kind of issues with MathGuard ? Was it not displayed correctly?

Regarding the Timezone issue - unfortunately, it's a known bug. There was no time to fix it.

A solution would be to replace the PHP's system time() function with some function which retrieves the actual timestamp (number of miliseconds since 1.1.1970) according to timezone setting in Joomla.

class.joomlawatch.helper.php:

function getServerTime() {
return time() + $this->config->getConfigValue('JOOMLAWATCH_TIMEZONE_OFFSET') * 3600;
}

you might also try to retrieve the timezone offset this way:

Hello sorry I think I've got the mathguard thing now, I just didn't have a clue what all the letters and numbers meant and I clicked on mathguard for an explanation and I was just taken to your homepage. I can see now that they represent an equasion, I think it would be a good idea to explain this whenever its used.

Also if you put it in wrong it tells you to go back to school and when you hit back your message has dissapeared. This is the second time I have written this one.

Re the stats, can you please give me some specific instructions on how to fix it. I couldn't really understand from what you said what I am supposed to do. Given that its supposed to be a live stats packages and my stats are out by 9 hours I would have thought there would be a simple solution??!!
