Question My site is showing the incorrect time. How do I correct it?

Answer

Our applications get the time from the server they are running on, and this is the time that is always used internally by the applications. Starting in version 3.x, you can change the displayed time using the giDeltaTime setting in your application's configuration file.

For example, if the server's time is 2:00pm, but you are three timezones later, and your local time is 5:00pm, you should set giDeltaTime to 3, like this:

giDeltaTime = 3

If, however, you are three timezones EARLIER, you would set giDeltaTime to -3, like this:

giDeltaTime = -3

If you are in a timezone that is on a half-hour, you can set giDeltaTime to a decimal, like this:

giDeltaTime = 2.5

Make sure you make this change in all XCENT applications you are running, to avoid confusion.
