Tracked down the publish_up bug, timezone offset was applied twice to the publish_up date, resulting in publish date going to the future for negative
GMT zones.
Fixed in latest 1.5.6 beta

For both files:
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/item.php
components/com_flexicontent/models/items.php

Replace code between these 2 lines:
(Do not delete these 2 line only the code between)

Code:

$item->created_by = $item->created_by ? $item->created_by : $user->get('id');
...
// Handle never unpublish date

with

Code:

if ($item->created && strlen(trim( $item->created )) <= 10) {
				$item->created 	.= ' 00:00:00';
			}

			$date =& JFactory::getDate($item->created, $tzoffset);
			$item->created = $date->toMySQL();

			if ($item->publish_up && strlen(trim( $item->publish_up )) <= 10) {
				$item->publish_up 	.= ' 00:00:00';
			}

			$date =& JFactory::getDate($item->publish_up, $tzoffset);
			$item->publish_up = $date->toMySQL();

ggppdk, Thanks for your response. Your patch fixed the specific problem I had of auto-publishing being delayed from the front-end editor.

However, now I'm having a similar time-offset problem with component obSocialSubmit.

The only way that it will publish to Facebook and Twitter is if I set my server offset to 0, or GMT.

This causes the rest of the site to run five hours fast EST, or four hours fast EDT.

Do you know what obSocialSubmit is reading that is GMT that is causing this issue?

Please advise. Regards, Francis Goodwin

Changing the correct time of your site should be strongly avoided, it will break everything else.

Contact author of this extension to fix any bugs.
