One of my users has inputted an event to take place only on October 31, but it shows up on Oct 30 and Oct 31 (see the calendar HERE).
I am stumped! If you click on the Oct. 30 ghost event, it even says Oct. 31!
Anyone know what the problem is? piCal v.87
Thanks

It's well-known "summer time" problem.
Set your server a timezone without "summer time".

It was not set that way, piCal is just set to go by the server's time. In any case, I think I got it fixed. We're in GMT -6:00, and they were setting events to start at 5:45 am. Once you change that to 6:00 am, the problem goes away.
Getting the timed events to show up properly is the #1 problem I've had with all the installations of piCal. None of the users I have need anything to do with timezones. If an event starts at 9:00 am, that's all it needs to say, 9:00 am, because all my uses are for "local" websites.
To be able to turn off all that timezone mumbo jumbo would be a wonderful improvement to piCal. As long as the Xoops config is set up properly with the server time vs local time offset, that should be all that I would need.
The other issue is the "PM" showing up before the time. "PM 3:45" is *not* standard and looks funny to North American users. I know some piCal users who have somehow figured out how to make the above show up as "3:45 PM", but I have not.
Still, GIJOE, we appreciate your work, and the price is right!

Quote:It is impossible to achieve that because XOOPS does not have timezone with "summer-time".
I wrote that "you should set server's timezone without summer-time".

But it is not so easy to do that in the current version of piCal.
piCal should be D3 module but it is not so soon, sorry.
