Zenphoto and Zenpage? Or ... ya... Error:

I noticed these, too. It's a Zenphoto error since I get it on pure Zenphoto installs, too. Don't know where those suddenly come from.

Is this a nightly build installation? If so, you can change your error reporting setting to E_ALL ^E_NOTICE in functions.php circa line 81. We are trying to find all the violations of E_STRICT and correct them. Thanks for your help on this one.

sbillard

If you would, please add the following code to the end of functions-basic.php:
`
if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get());
}
`
Leave the error reporting as it was in the release. Let us know the result

Okay, I have nightly 3043
I added the code to the end of functions basic

Hi guys,
I use the last nightly version of zenphoto - 1.2.2 [3048], this is a fresh install and I get hardly the same error :
`Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable 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.

Just to confirm I also still get the timezone, not the second though.

sbillard

Please post your PHP version if you are having this problem. The above code is "supposed" to fix the issue according to the PHP document. However, at least for some it does not.

To suppress the message change line 84 of functions-basic.php to:
`error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_NOTICE);`

Hi Stephen,
I use PHP Version 4.4.6.
I added to the end of functions-basic.php just before `?>`:

`
if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get());
}
`
here is what I get :
`

Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function.

Well, this is interesting. The documentation says that this error message starts with version 5.1.0. For you, I guess you will just have to change the error reporting as described above. The `date_default_timezone` are not available until PHP 5.0.

Your other option, if you don't mind trying, is to change the date.timezone setting in your PHP.ini file. Or add to the end of functions.php `ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC');` (You can substitute your local timezone from the list shown here: http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)

jlang

I just updated after a few weeks and saw the same behaviour. Adding
`ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Dublin');`
to the end of functions.php seems to fix the problem for now (i.e. prevent the messages), but I'll sync up with whatever the eventual outcome is. I'm using a host based in the US so should I be referring to the timezone where the server is physically located instead?

code

I have PHP 5.2.6

I will do the following:

`
To suppress the message change line 84 of functions-basic.php to:
error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_NOTICE);
`

code

Okay well I changed the error reporting, I dont get the time zone but i still get:

`

sbillard

Maybe you put the code after the `?>` at the end of functions-basic.php. That `?>` needs to be the very last thing in the file.

sbillard

To all having this issue. I have released a version of functions-basic.php with the change to try to set the timezone. Try that version. If it does not work, then use the error report supression--change line 84 of functions-basic.php to:
`error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_NOTICE);`

But also report the success/failure and your PHP version.

sbillard

The timezone you pick should be your local one, but make sure the option for the time offset is at zero.

flu

Hi Stephen,
of course you're right (there's no way to fool the sbillard !), I made a mistake, my php version is 5.2.1.

I added `ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC');` to the end of functions.php and that did the trick, thank you !

sbillard

Could you try the current nightly build. It should work, but if not look at the admin gallery option page--the comment for the time offset should include what your default timezone setting is. Let us know.

code

Okay, my website got spammed lol! (Comments) okay so... It seems that the update worked (3052). I have no errors at all...

Okay question, off topic... I got some comments on a album, but I think they are disabled, I cant view/post a comment on a album (not a image), yet I see them under "recent comments"

sbillard

Well, the actual comment post handling is done by the controller. Right now it does not look at the comment enable option. Long story, but that started out as a theme based option. I suppose that we can now not process comments if the option is disabled.

Anyway, as things are now, a spammer familiar with zenphoto can post a comment even though you have them disabled. Suggest you enable Captcha. that will put a wrinkle on the spammers.
