 * Hi Bernhard,
 * I have tried the datetime offset to +8 hours, but it does not change the time,
   can you please fix, e.g.:
 * {subloop:channelBounds:-1}{channelBounds.maxTimeSecs:datetime,”D, d M, Y, H:i”,
   8}{/subloop:channelBounds}
 * Does not add 8 hours to the time, still at GMT.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Pixellation,
 * sorry for the poor documentation about that. Please try 8*3600=28800 instead 
   of 8.
    Does this work. There’s a feature/bug in trhe plugin as such: If the input-
   date is numeric, this is interpreted as unixtimestamp. Then the offset-paramater
   is in secondes. This might be in your case?
 * If the input date is in text-date-format like 4.6.2015 then the offset-paramater
   is in hours.
 * This is not perfect…
 * Does 28800 work for you?
    Bernhard
