Thank you ^_^ (I just want it UK time because I am from the UK XD) Also, if there is a way for it to automatically detect a user's time zone and change the times for them that would be great as well! (But I know little about coding so I have no idea how that would be possible...)

Glad it's working for you!

You can set the DateTime thingy to your timezone, but I don't think it's possible to set it to the user's timezone. Perhaps with javascript, but I'm not really sure how

Check the file newsview.php inside admincp/view, and search for this part:

PHP Code:

public function create(){
    $mysidia = Registry::get("mysidia");
    $document = $this->document;
    $document->setTitle("Create");
        
    if($mysidia->input->post("submit")){
        $todayDate = new DateTime;

                //add the following line:
        $todayDate->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));

        $date = $todayDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
//rest of the code here 


I assumed London, but here's the list of available timezones you can use: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

I just used it for my country and it's 1 hour behind lol
