Start Publishing Date

When I add or edit an item, the "Start Publishing" date is changed to a time in the future. I have the global config time zone correct as UTC -05:00.

After adding or editing, I have to manually change the start publishing date in order to view the item on the front end.

Using ver. 1.5.4 (r558)

What should I do to correct this?

Thank you.

The item submit user is in the same timezone as the item viewing user?

During testing phase - the item submitter is me. And will be the same timezone as the user when it goes live.

Is there code I can change somewhere to say...

Set Start Publishing date to (submit time/date) - 24 hours.

Then the start publishing time/date would be yesterday.

Thanks again.

Please try the latest v1.5.6 revision for J1.5
(NOTE that v2.0 is for J2.5 and has the same features as J1.5 plus ACL, in J1.5 you need FLEXIaccess for ACL):

How do I upgrade to 1.5.6?

I couldn't get the 1.5.6 version to install.

1) uninstalled 1.5.4
2) installed 1.5.6 (db errors)then:

Then trying to access the site (front/back):
Warning: require_once(/home/marshall/public_html/components/com_flexicontent/helpers/route.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/marshall/public_html/plugins/system/flexisystem.php on line 135

It seems your server time-out during installation

delete via FTP the flexicontent system plugins:
plugins/system/flexisystem.php
plugins/system/flexiadvroute.php

This will get you back access to your site

Do not try to uninstall FLEXIcontent

Try reinstalling v1.5.6, if it fails again then redelete flexicontent plugins via FTP and try installing v1.5.5 or v1.5.4
