GroupJive Event Time is wrong. frontend does not match backend fields due to time saving

Hello,
Joomla 3.4.8 CB 2.0.12 Groupjive 3

I have realised that groupjive events do not show the correct time in the frintend events tab, during British Summertime ( BST ). They show an hour ahead of the time saved in the groupjive event start and end fields.

Am I missing a setting here somewhere or is this a bug ?
Thanks

Joe

The datetime is stored in the database as UTC (no offset). You are selecting the datetime based off your local datetime. When it's displayed in the tab it is then offset based off the timezone your account has set otherwise uses Joomlas. In short you should always see it as local.

Please provide the timezone you've selected in Joomla global configuration and within your users profile edit. Please also provide the datetime you have stored in the _groupjive_events for your event that is off by 1 hour. This will allow me to attempt to duplicate your scenario exactly.

I believe "Europe/London" needs to be used if you want it to switch between BST as needed. Note this is typically entirely dependent on PHP doing the switch. Please also provide your PHP version and contact your host to ensure the timezone database is up to date.

Hi Krileon,
The global configuration server time is set to London,
user timezone is also set to london.
PHP 5.5.31
I've attached a screenshot showing back and front end for one of the affected dates. All events between Sun, 27 Mar & Sun, 30 Oct, appear affected. Also a strange thing is that with Mays event ( only this one) the calendar on the left of the event is showing as June!

I will check with host re timezone database.
Many thanks

Please have your host ensure their timezone database is up to date. Latest releases can be found below.

It should be up to date, but it's strange your dates are incorrect. Try adding a datetime field to your profile and seeing if it has the same issue.
