Forgot one thing for News Show Pro GK4

I checked fixing a News Show Pro GK4 3.3.7 for Joomla 3.0

You did mofidy for time offset and this is ok:
mod_highlighter_gk4

Code: Select all

Select all$this->config['time_offset'] = 24; // time offset for timezones problem

It works well.

You not modify yet for time offset and this is not ok:
mod_news_pro_gk4

Code: Select all

Select all$this->config['time_offset'] = $params->get('time_offset', 0); // time offset for timezones problem

It not works because when I added a new article but not it not shown it on Home page and then I did modified yet here:

Code: Select all

Select all$this->config['time_offset'] = 24; // time offset for timezones problem

This is works well.
And also you must modify yet "News Show Pro GK4" to next release 3.3.8 to fix that mod_news_pro_gk4.

Please update News Show Pro to 3.3.7 version where time offset option was improved which should also resolve your previous problem.

I did update 3.3.7 and it is ok for mod_highlighter_gk4 but it is not for mod_news_pro_gk4. Please you check it again this code.

No we will not fix offset for 24 hours because only in your case the offset value is so big that default module settings +12/-12 are not sufficient. Please configure time zone properly this will save you a lot of troubles or changes hosting some where the server time will be the same with 'real' time.

I understand it. Anyway I did save one document for time offset code. No, I not want to change my hosting because my hosting is very good. Ok, I will try to explain my hosting that time offset code for real time.

You can always open file helper.php and set value to 24 so replace this line :

Code: Select all

$this->config['time_offset'] = $params->get('time_offset', 0); // time offset for timezones problem

with

Code: Select all

$this->config['time_offset'] = 24; // time offset for timezones problem

Hi!
What is the exact configuration that my server in regards to time zone must have (so that I can indicate it to my server provider).
I have change the code in helper.php with the one discuss here, and that seems to work, but I will like to know how to set it right from my server.
Another question does the activation of the plugins System - GK Extended Cache and System - GK Cache is necessary for this module to work properly? because I have them off, since when System - GK Extended Cache is ON some articles don't show up.

Finally the option to select certain articles with their ID (joomla articles) doesn't seem to work for me, does that has something to do with the time zone or is it a totally different issue?

No plugins are not necessary.

First of all please check your global Joomla! time configuraiton and make sure that you have latest version of News Show Pro module.
