Hi Bernard,

The external feed extracts the date from the feed using getDate() in htdocs/lib/pear/XML/Feed/Parser/Type.php
in Mahara, and that in turn uses the strtotime() function in PHP.

Part of the documentation for that  function says: "Each parameter of
this function uses the default time zone unless a time zone is specified
in that parameter."

So the things we'll need to know to test this is
1) The URL of the feed used
2) What timezone is your PHP/Database operating in?

Cheers

Robert

Title:
  External Feed Block Incorrect Timestamp

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Version: 15.04rc1

  On a new page add an External feed. Timestamp displayed on Mahara does not match timestamp displayed on RSS feed page. 
  Seems to be incorrect by 13 hours - I can't find a user timezone setting ; I'm in GMT.

  Examples:
  Timestamp for item 1 should be 27 March 2015 00:03. Mahara displays 27 March 2015, 1:03 PM 
  Timestamp for item 2 should be 26 March 2015 23:59. Mahara displays 27 March 2015, 12:59 PM
