In this article, I will give you solution for two issues reported in the github:

Issue 1. Throw timezone Warning message in admin panel

Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone.

This issue will also result in the error thrown in the ajax response from server in the admin  panel. For example, when you access the orders grid in the admin panel, you will see an empty grid.

Although there are the orders in the database, you can’t see the data in the grid because there is timezone error thrown in the response.

Solution for issue 1

Step 1. Open admin/includes/application_top.php with your favourite editor.

Step 2. Find following code snippet:

// define our general functions used application-wide
require('../includes/functions/general.php');

Then, add following code before it:

// set the default timezone
  if (defined('STORE_TIME_ZONE') && STORE_TIME_ZONE) {
  	if (!date_default_timezone_set(STORE_TIME_ZONE)) {
  		date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
  	}
  }

Step 3. Go to admin panel > start menu > Configuration > Configuration > My store to set your own timezone.

Note, the default timezone is UTC. You could find your own timezone from http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php.

Issue 2. Variants can’t be deleted if they are assigned to a product

Sometimes you want to reorganize your variants. I’ve had this problem years ago in oscommerce too and sometimes it was hard to find them. You had to go through each product to see if your variant was present there.

Solution for issue 2

We could show which products the variants are assigned to directly in the alert window.

Step 1. Backup following two files for safety:

• admin/includes/classes/product_variants.php
• admin/includes/jsons/product_variants.php

Step 2. Download a package from https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nc8yw5mary8vbl/issue%2356.zip?dl=0

Step 3. Unzip the package into your local computer and then copy the admin fold into your TomatoCart root directory to override the original ones.

That’s it. In this way, you will see the products linked with the current variants.
