Can not change time of Launchtime
- Posted by Matthias Hienzsch (10) Offline
i mean the server time. system -> konfiguration -> server -> time zone. but it doesnt help. so how is the basic konfiguration of the countdown when i choose a date? should it stop at midnight or should it run 24 hours from starting? for example: i want to stop it tomorrow on march 12. does it stop at 00:00 or in 24 hours, which is in my time at afternoon 4:30pm?

Hmm can you try to install launchtime on your localhost and check whether the problem persist or not?

alright, that´s the result (attachment). on localhost it doesn´t display the countdown. but in the backend i can set not only the date but also the time. and i can set the time, safe it and the time stays in the time to launch field. when i set the time on my website it disappears after saving.

hmm, how come the local version doesn't work while the live version working good?
Are you sure both of local version and live version have similar configuration especially this part goo.gl/e1Ossi ?

dude, you should know your work! if i dont click on "yes" at show countdown timer you would never see "time left to launch", "wks days hrs..." and the space between. meanwhile i tried the 2.5 version and i installed it on my other website that runs on an other server. there i get 10pm as finish time. sorry, but when i can not set the finish time the countdown is pretty worthless in my eyes.

Easy man, I tried to help you. If you find it worthless then simply don't use it
Launchtime calculates 'now' date/ time by using linux timestamp ( using time(); function ) so changing the timezone via your joomla backend probably will give no effect (that's why I asked you to test it on your localhost to check whether this true or not)
If you know php you can change how it calculates the 'now' date/time by modifying file :
[root]/templates/launchtime/framework.php starting from line 57
