Today was my first use of piCal -- there was no prior version installed. I am currently testing it on a LAN server. The problem I'm having is an inconsistency in the Event Manager for the time of any new event I create -- when viewing it for Server Timezone, GMT, and Your Timezone. Since I noticed that timezone stamping for events is a new feature in this version, perhaps you can advise.
I've repeatedly checked all my preferences and settings for the timezones of my server, myself (user), and the default timezone, as well as entered the time of the event with the correct timezone offset. So, my (user) timezone and server timezone are both GMT -8, but the Event Manger shows a different time when using the popup for Server Timezone and Your Timezone. Strange! Table Maintenance finds an error but after updating, the time is wrong by an additional hour -- the "fix" makes it outright incorrect.
hi jph0.
It's a difficult problem to solve.
There are many timezones.
(1) Server Timezone setted in XOOPS
(2) Server Timezone of server itself
(3) User Timezone setted in XOOPS
(4) event Timezone setted in the event
I guess it is differenct (1) and (2).
How do you check the server's timezone?
Hi. After checking those in XOOPS, I checked the Date & Time setting (PDT) on my LAN server (iMac700 G4 running Mac OS 10.3.4). Might Daylight Savings be the problem? XOOPS settings do not appear to factor in Daylight Savings. Perhaps that's something I have to compensate for additionally in setting the XOOPS timezones.
So, maybe while PST is GMT -8, PDT is GMT -7.
By the way, I have a few other comments on the beta which I'll post later.
