Articles Anywhere: dates from calendar fields in...

In my articles, I use a number of calendar custom fields that are dates (time is not set). After upgrading from ArticlesAnywhere 15.x to 16.0.5, I am getting dates interpreted as UTC instead of the Joomla timezone (New York: UTC - 4:00). My guess is that the date is being read as the date at 00:00 UTC and then there's some code that interprets it in the local server time (4 hours earlier). If my date is 2024-03-25 in the calendar field, it then displays 2024-03-24 (at 20:00 local time).

In my testing, I set the server timezone to UTC; then the dates were correct. I need Joomla to be in our local timezone. Instead, I used the modify="+5 hours", to get the date in my ArticlesAnywhere "code" to match what the calendar field says in the article.

This brings me to a different issue. I could not get the modify="+5 hours" to run unless I also included a format option as well (ex. format="M j, Y").

Thank you for looking into these.

Sorry for the delay.

I installed the development version, and it did not fix the issue. I ran the clean cache plugin and changed a date in the article just to verify that I was not looking at cached data. Unfortunately, I was not.

Sure! I had to copy the site to something with less restrictions, but it still has the same date issue.

I'm sorry that the temporary site was timing out. Our dev server requires certificates to log in which was harder for me to set up quickly.

Thank you, the date issue is resolved!

The modify option issue still lingers. Perhaps you wanted to get this one fixed first.

Here's an example of the modify option issue:

If I enterthe 24 hours are not added.

Okay, I am glad it is working for you. I guess I have something installed that impacts this. Thank you for getting the calendar field working correctly with the timezone!
