Our current approach of using user time to display items is problematic because users worldwide will start seeing item in with several hours difference

I checked out and joomla uses server time when comparing publish-up and publish-down dates, and i think this is the correct approach since the item must be worldwide available at the same time !!!

The user just sets the publish-up time according to his/her local time and the item becomes available worldwide the time he/she expected !!!

In your case the problem is not timezone !!! the timezone difference if irrelevant when creating items, since a user creates each item while being in timezone A and then views it while being in timezone A. IT WOULD MATTER if a user tried to view the item while being in timezone B

Your problem is that your local time is a couple of minutes behind the server time, set your clock 2-5 minutes ahead and test ...

Anyway i will change the source code NOT TO use users local time for comparing to publish up times, but i repeat this is irrelevant to your problem

Sorry for the insistence, now I get it.

I will try it.

About the local time I never thought about that issue, nice one.

Finaly I found the problem, OMG|!!!!!

this is the problem I am changing/updateing the fields via QUERY so the item CHACE is not clean.

How can I clean the item cache after the update?

You can use (try) this for items

Code:

if (!FLEXI_J16GE) {
	$catscache = & JFactory::getCache('com_flexicontent_items');
	$catscache->clean();
} else {
	$catscache = FLEXIUtilities::getCache();
	$catscache->clean('com_flexicontent_items');
}

and this for categories:

Code:

if (!FLEXI_J16GE) {
	$catscache = & JFactory::getCache('com_flexicontent_cats');
	$catscache->clean();
} else {
	$catscache = FLEXIUtilities::getCache();
	$catscache->clean('com_flexicontent_cats');
}
