Recurring event changes the time on day 11 onwards

Hello Tuan,

actually the whole problem with this daylightsaving comes from the fact that you add 24h in your code for a day.
This is not always true as when we change time, we loose or win 1h. So a day may have actually 23 or 25 hours.

Here is the fix for your code.
Everywhere where you add 24h do this: $newDate = strtotime('+'.$numberOfDays.' day', $oldDate);

For example in helper.php in the function getWeeklyRecurringEventDates:

//$nextEventDate = $startTime + $weekDay*24*3600 ;
$nextEventDate = strtotime('+'.$weekDay.' day', $startTime);

Of course you'll have to test this, but this is a more "portable" way to add a day to a timestamp.
I am fixing it myself for my purposes. :whistle:

Hi Bruno!

Can you tell me where can I find this file(s)? Thank you so much!

/components/com_eventbooking/helper.php

Hah, It's interersting, I haven't got this file.

I found it here:

/components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php

But it doesn't work.

Thanks anyway!

Tuan!

Can you turn off this automatism (Daylight Saving)?

Thanks!

Be careful to correct the functions you are actually testing.

And of course not correct it blindly. I just mentioned the method to do it, not the exact code for all the functions.

Of course! You are right! Thank you!

Hi All

Please don't change the code. I am trying to spend this weekend to work on it to find the solution. I will get back to you on Monday !

Tuan,

I have had great success with the "Fix daylight savings" functionality. I've used it for the last 4 time changes, but when I try to use it now, I get a 500 - An error has occurred, logout path not found. If you are unable to fully fix the daylight savings issue, can you at least fix the "Fix Day light Saving" menu item so that we can apply the temp fix for now.

Thanks,
Mike
