TOPIC: Event Start Date Confusion

I have the the JEvents 1.5 MVC component installed; also DT Register 1.5 Stable on a Joomla 1.5.10 site.

Previously I had the older JEvents component installed, I installed JEvents 1.5 and converted the data. Everything looked fine, so I uninstalled the older JEvents component. I ran into the minor issue of not seeing the event in the dropdown when creating the DT Register registration item, but went back and edited the event I wanted to set up the registration for, that took care of that problem.

But now, I'm seeing an odd thing. On the front end, in the listing of events available for registration, I see the start date as one day before the actual start date of the event, but when you click to go to the registration form page, the start date is correct. I've included 2 attachments, wrong_start_date1 is the date shown in the event listing while wrong_start_date2 is the one in the registration form page. 10-29-2009 is the CORRECT start date. As you can see this is a multi-day event, and I set this up as all-day events without specific start/end times. Any advice?

I am no expert and received no reply or help from DTH Development on this when I posted something similar despite raising a support ticket and posting on the forum.

BUT I think I found the answer by changing the timezone setting on your Joomla Global Settings page. It needs to be the same setting as your webserver.

You will know you have got this right when you:
1) Create an event starting at midnight on a day (say 2009-06-01 00:01)
2) Create an event starting at 11:59pm on the same day (say 2009-06-01 23:59)

Then if both events appear to start on the same day, then your settings are correct. Otherwise keep changing that timezone setting.

Hope this helps.
