Subject: Calendar dates wrong
I am using the WEC starter package. The dates are right in the backend, but when I view the page in the frontend view - the events are one day early. For instance and event that is to be on the 3rd will be on the 2nd oin the frontend view. I am checking several events and they all seem to be this way.

Dorothy,

Please try following this How-To on setting your timezone. I think this may be related to you being in a different timezone than your server or the timezone being set incorrectly.

That didn't fix the problem. Here is what is going on - I entered an event with a start date for April 7 (date of the event), 18:30 (6:30 p.m.). When I save and close the list shows start date of April 6, right time. On the frontend the date is April 6, 4:30 p.m. We are off 26 hours if I figure right.
I also checked the time zone extension - the version is 1.1.1 and it is listed as beta. Is there a newer more statble one out and how would I go about installing it if there is?

Mark, As I explained in the last post this fix didn't work. On weekly service times it does ok if I just put in the occurrance and time with no starting date. As soon as I put in a starting date it makes it one day earlier.

Dorothy,
Would you mind sending either Mark or I an email with a the URL of your site and a backend login? The symptoms you describe sound like timezone problems that we've seen before but the timezone extension usually does the trick.

Thanks,
Jeff
