Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-1164:
------------------------------------
Some more thoughts on committing this...
When it is committed, the majority of OFBiz will support user-selected time
zones. I'm sure there will be bits and pieces of OFBiz that will still default
to the server's time zone. I don't have any examples, but the potential is
there if a particular code fragment attempts to do its own date/time
conversions.
Originally, I had pictured developers applying this patch to their local copies
and playing around with components that interest them. The areas that don't
convert well could be fixed and contributed back as additional Jira issues
(OFBIZ-1089 is an example). Once we're sure most of the exceptions have been
caught, we could then commit this patch along with the patches in the
additional Jira issues.
On the other hand, we could just commit this patch and let developers fix the
exceptions as they come across them.
The popup calendar is a potential issue. The current implementation uses
JavaScript - so the popup calendar will default to the user's time zone. That's
fine for most cases. It gets confusing when the user sets OFBiz to use a time
zone other than their own. Hopefully we'll have an updated popup calendar soon.
Hey... where did Daniel Martinez go anyway? :p
