Joomla 1.5 doesn't support Daylight-Saving / Summertime. In the Global Configuration -> Server -> Locale Settings, you can only set the timezone. If you set this to your correct timezone and in your country will be daylight-saving / summertime - rules, you have the problem that your new articles will publish up one hour later because the most hosting-services won't change the servertime. This plugin solves this problem automatically by activating and deactivating Daylight-Saving / Summertime for the Joomla System without changing timezone in Joomla Configuration. All articles will be published at the right time. There are no manually changes in summer / winter necessary .
The plugin requires php 5.0 or above !!!
The server and your computer may not be in the same timezone so you have first to choose the right timezone in the Global Configuration -> Server -> Locale Settings!!!
This plugin is included in the Article-Generator-Download:

Happy to have found this plugin. Kudos to the developers for making this for us.
The plugin works properly, it modifies the time offset parameter depending of the value of date('I').
The only problem is that all previously created article time will be modified when the change occurs. Like when you change the time zone +/-1 hour on the control panel/server settings.
The advantage of this plugin is that you don't need to manually change the time zone. :)
