+== '''''How can I change the server time in Dolphin?''''' ==
+
+You may know that all actions in Dolphin have their date/time specifications, such as Spy events, Blog and Forum posts, Chat messages, etc. All these events are stored in a MySQL database which by default uses the server time zone for them. But your web server may be located in a different country, so it may be necessary to adjust Dolphin time according to your (admin) location.[[BR]]
+You will need to change the time zone offsets in 3 files: for Dolphin itself, for Orca and for Ray.
+
+Here are these files:[[BR]]
+''Note: the offset parameter should specify your time zone offset in comparison to GMT time, for example: +6:00, -7:30, etc.''[[BR]][[BR]]
+1) For Dolphin:[[BR]]
+edit {{{/inc/classes/BxDolDb.php}}}[[BR]]
+find the line:
+{{{
+mysql_query("SET sql_mode = ''", $this->link);
+}}}
+and put this line right after it:
+{{{
+mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->link);
+}}}
+2) For Ray:[[BR]]
+edit {{{flash/modules/global/inc/db.inc.php}}}
+and put this line
+{{{
+mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->rLink);
+}}}
+after
+{{{
+mysql_query("SET @@local.connect_timeout=9000;", $this->rLink);
+}}}
+3) For Orca:[[BR]]
+edit {{{modules/boonex/forum/classes/BxDb.php}}}
+and put this line
+{{{
+mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->link);
+}}}
+after
+{{{
+mysql_query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $this->link);
+}}}
+
+Then you need to recompile Orca languages in {{{Admin Dashboard -> Modules -> Orca Forum -> Manage Forum}}} and also clear the site cache in {{{Admin Dashboard -> Quick Overview -> Clear Cache}}}
+
+This is it. Now the time on all pages and in all widgets should correspond to admin's local time.
