When setting the dates of the deals we put a date and if we accept the dates are changed. You'll see in this image: It is urgent for us to resolve this topic. Thank you

Hi,

This problem didn't happen before, it seems Joomla tries to convert the dates to the user's timezones before saving them.

To fix this you can modify components/com_cmgroupbuying/models/forms/deal.xml, replace

		<field
			name="start_date"
			type="calendar"
			label="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_START_DATE_LABEL"
			description="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_START_DATE_DESC"
			class="inputbox"
			size="22"
			format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
			required="true"
		/>

		<field
			name="end_date"
			type="calendar"
			label="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_END_DATE_LABEL"
			description="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_END_DATE_DESC"
			class="inputbox"
			size="22"
			format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
			required="true"
		/>

with

		<field
			name="start_date"
			type="calendar"
			label="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_START_DATE_LABEL"
			description="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_START_DATE_DESC"
			class="inputbox"
			size="22"
			format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
			required="true"
			filter="server_utc" />
		/>

		<field
			name="end_date"
			type="calendar"
			label="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_END_DATE_LABEL"
			description="COM_CMGROUPBUYING_DEAL_FIELD_END_DATE_DESC"
			class="inputbox"
			size="22"
			format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
			required="true"
			filter="server_utc" />
		/>

And make sure you have already selected your time zone in Global Configuration.

Hung

Hi,

It does work for me here, I use CMGroupBuying 2.8.0 and Joomla 3.3.6.

And actually, this problem doesn't happen if the current admin user's timezone and Joomla's timezone are the same, because by default Joomla will convert the dates which are selected on the calendars to the user's timezone, this is why we add filter="server_utc" to ask Joomla to use server's timezone instead of admin user's timezone.

If this problem still happens please submit a support ticket with your admin access and FTP access, I will debug to see why this only happens to your site.

Thank you and regards,
Hung
