Hi,
When i save created date and modified date, the time displayed in the database and in the design is the UTC, i 've read that it takes the timezone from the Joomla user or the one by default.
I checked that, and always is stored and displayed the utc independently of the timezon configured.
How could i solve?

tahnks,
Albert

Are you sure of that.

Did you configured correctly the timezone in the user's configuration profile ?

Do you display the date with JDom?
Can you tell us wich project / Table / Layout ? (PTL)
I will have a look, but I think all this is working because I have been working on that recently.

Yes, It is configured correctly.

I do not display the date with dom, i simply take the data from the database and i display.
But i want to store the data +2h in the database, and i do not know where to do?
maybe i should do in the model on the function save?

So, that's the reason why.

No, don't touch the model, don't touch the database.
The date MUST ALWAYS be stored in UTC. Obligation, no way out.

If you store different offsets, then a user could change its user parameters and then your system would be unstable of in some case could affect the security.
NEVER do that.

You need to set the offset every time that you want to display the date.

with a JDate object, you can do :
$date->modify('+2hours');

But the best is to apply the user's offset.
You can check JDom : html.fly.datetime
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($user->getParam('timezone', $config->get('offset'))));

EDIT : Sorry, I reviewed the code. Now it is better.
