Calendar date decreasing

[Rener Castro]

Hi,

My form field calendar on administration site is decreasing every time I save the template. This is very annoying, because I have many calendar fields to input data on my template.

Please, someone help me to fix this.

Regards,
Rener Castro

Joomla converts by default every date/time entered to UTC before saving. This means the date saved can be the day before depending on timezone settings.

When showing the date again, the timezone needs to be accounted again. JHtml::date does that by default as well.

Now the question is how you specified the date field and how you're outputting the date.

Do you have the attribute filter="user_utc" in the XML form file? I had the same problem in an option with type="calendar". It would save in UTC but not convert back to the local time zone on load, so every time I saved it was moving the time/date. Adding that attribute fixed the problem.
