      Hello,

      I’m living in Turkey and my timezone is GMT +3 for now. News feed module doesn’t care my time zone and calculate the time with moment.js and fromNow function.

      I’ve just made a fix for this.

      First create a config node in config js

      language: 'tr',
      	timeFormat: 24,
      	units: 'metric',
      	**timeZone: 3,**
      	modules: [
      

      *timeZone config node is an int type value and can be positive or negative value.

      Then go to newsfeed.js file (under /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/newsfeed location) and change the below line.

      Old Line:
      if (this.config.showPublishDate) sourceAndTimestamp.innerHTML += moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).fromNow();

      Change to:
      if (this.config.showPublishDate) sourceAndTimestamp.innerHTML += moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).subtract(config.timeZone, ‘hours’).fromNow();

      This piece of code reads the config file and subtract from the time.

      Hope this helps.

      /M

        Feel free to create PR and submit it against the 'develop' branch so it can be checked out and incorporated is possible.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
