[WORKAROUND] Fullcalendar: startdate time and enddate time set to 23:00 automatically

[ArjanM]

Hi,

When I click on a date on the Fullcalendar to add a new entry, the time belonging to the startdate and the enddata is automatically set to 23:00 (11:00 pm). I cannot find where this comes from so my best guess is that is is an issue with the Calendar Visualisation.

Is your TZ set correctly in your J! global settings?

Hi Hugh,

yep, TZ is set to Amsterdam

High,

I double-checked also the time-setting of the Server and the time on Linux-level and they both are correct.

Oh, I see the problem. It was me who didn't have my TZ set. I recently built a new test server and development environment, and hadn't set my TZ in the new J!. So what's happening is it's apply a TZ to the 00:00 time we set the start date to the viz JS.

Working on it.

OK, should be fixed as of this commit. If your start/end dates are not set to "store as local" (by default they store as UTC), the viz will adjust those start/end times accordingly.

Hugh,

there is something strange goin on... When set "Default to current date" to "No" in the element properties then it will fill the date field with the date of one day before the clicked date and the time will be set to "23:00". If I set it to "Yes" the clicked date is used and the time is set to "00:00"...

Yeah, I can duplicate that, but not something I can readily "fix". The issue being that by changing the way that logic works, inside the date element, it would break existing uses of the date element which use a specific element default, as opposed to the "Default to current date".

Just set the date to "Default to current date".

Ok Hugh, the problem is solved for me by setting "Default to current date"... Thanks!
