Re: fixing the time offset
I assume this refers to making the date/times for events always display in the user's time zone, while being stored in the database in the server's time zone?
If so, there are a number of changes required in addition to the above.
But I'm wondering if it's desirable to make these time zone adjustments.
Scenario 1:
I'm using the calendar to announce a meeting in an IRC chatroom on Jan 15 at 6PM my time. In this case, the time zone adjustment is appropriate, since I want other users to see the date/time displayed in their time zone.
Scenario 2:
Same as above, except I'm going to be in another city in another time zone on Jan 15. Hmmm ... this gets trickier. I'll have to take into account the difference between the time zone I'm in now, and the one I'll be in on Jan 15.
Scenario 3:
I'm using the calendar to announce a rock-climbing event at Devil's Tower, Wyoming on July 7 at noon. Obviously, everyone attending the event will be in the same time zone, and the date/time should be displayed in the time zone for Devil's Tower, regardless of what time zone users are in now. So in this case, it's preferable that no time zone conversion be done.
Any suggestions? Should this hack be left as it is now, with no time zone corrections?
