Recurring event changes the time on day 11 onwards

Tuan,

Your response makes perfect sense. Thank you. I'm getting ready to test it now in my test area.

Tuan,

I entered the dates that you suggested for "Daylight Savings Time" and it caused the times to be even more off.

I restored my Joomla dev site, then entered the dates for "Daylight STANDARD Time" which are 2012-11-04 to 2013-03-09.

I think what needs to be entered into the Daylight Savings function is the date range for standard time.

BTW, these are US time zones.

Hi Mike

To be honest, I don't know which date the Daylight Saving Time started and which date it is finished. What you entered seems to be correct. The idea is that when you enter the start date and end date, press process button, all the recurring events between the two dates will be added one hour to the date. That's how it works !

Tuan

Tuan,

With that explanation, "...all the recurring events between the two dates will be added one hour to the date...", then anyone who wants to use the fix needs to enter the dates for standard time. For example in the US:

Daylight Savings Time Start Date: 2012-11-04
Daylight Savings Time End Date: 2013-03-09

If possible in a future release, can you change the naming of these fields?

Overall, I have like this product very much. There are few other things I'd like to see fixed, but a great product at a great price point.

Thank you for the fix and the quick responses to my posts.

Hi Mike

Thanks so much for your suggestions. To be honest, I don't know much about this time changing because it doesn't happens in our country. Could you please let me know what would be the best titles for these fields so that I can update the language file ?

Tuan

Hi Tuan

I haven't installed the update yet, but does it fix the incorrect time of existing future events, or will it be applied to events I haven't added yet? Or both?

Al

It only fix existing events. So in the future, if you create recurring events which have child events occur during that time, please run the fix again (it only add one hour to event date only one time, so don't worry about the other events which were fixed before).

Tuan

ok, many thanks Tuan

Hi Mike,

the day light savings dilema is driving us a bit wild over here on this side of the world (Germany). I changed the EB dates as Tuan suggested, and all of the event times withing the daylight savings time (31.3 - 27.10.2013) moved up one MORE hour, so that the times are now 2 hours ahead. That wasn't the plan. I can retrieve my data to the original status, so that all events within this time frame are 1 hour earlier than scheduled, but how did you finally succeed in correcting the time? Which date comes in the EB start date, and which date in the EB end date?

Thanks for helping out. Your english simply seems the most convincing...

Jackie,

Instead of entering the dates for "Daylight Savings Time", which was what Tuan had in his directions, I entered the dates for "Daylight STANDARD Time". I think the Daylight Standard dates in Germany are October 28, 2013 through March 26, 2014.

good luck.
