Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 Released

Instead of the admin side I get this:

Warning “date(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone.”

Try adding this to your textpattern/config.php file on the penultimate line

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');

Does that help?

Don’t know the best way to defend against this. Perhaps we need to pass UTC (or a random timezone) just to shut it up if – and that’s the question, if – we can detect if one hasn’t been set already. Dunno. Will gladly take advice on this.

Is it related to this timezone issue?

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 Released

On fresh installs, and if the error is detected, it would be good to suggest a timezone for the config.php file with a note that it could be changed. I would go for UTC, GMT or date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 Released

Right, that makes some kind of sense. But in this case I think we’ve dropped the ball a bit because PHP is only issuing a warning and it’s saying that it’s chosen a fallback on the user’s behalf, but then our upgrade script throws its toys out the pram and fails outright. That’s not good.

Hmmm… how to fix this, how to fix this…

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 Released

What if instead of this warning:

Warning “date(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

in /var/www/vhosts/decomputerclub.nl/httpdocs/textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/L10n/Lang.php at line 481.

We could have this one:

Warning “date(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please add your timezone in the penultimate line of the /textpattern/config.php file. The timezone set should look like: date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');. A list of timezones, supported by php, can be found on php.net/manual/en/timezones.php.

Well, bingo! After I searched for ‘penultimate’ :-)
Thanks!

Great news! Your English is much better than my Dutch, but I think I mean ‘voorlaatste’.
