[openmeetings-user] timzones and ical
Hi, I can't find this exact problem described in the list archives, so I thought I'd just ask about it. When I create a new meeting in the future and invite people to it, using the ical notification type, something isn't quite right. The local server time is CEST (GMT+2) at the moment and I created a meeting for 11:30 am, but the ical invitation seems to have put it at 1:30 pm instead. I did get a reminder email at the right time and stating the correct times, though. So my guess is that the ical data either doesn't contain the time zone, so my calendar assumes GMT, or it contains the wrong timezone - or it tries to calculate the correct time based on the user's timezone, but somehow miscalculates. Can anybody confirm this?

Re: [openmeetings-user] timzones and ical
What timezone has your openmeetings user profile that creates the calendar event? Actually the servers timezone is only interesting if there is no user-timezone available. When you create a meeting through the calendar at 2 o'clock then its 2 o'clock in the time zone of the openmeetings user that you are using. Actually on top of the calendar there is also drop down to change the timezone setting.

RE: [openmeetings-user] timzones and ical
The user's timezone is set to Etc/GMT+1 (since no DST option is available) - that's also what was being displayed at the top of the calendar when the meeting was set up. Even if I assume a wrong time zone was used since I'm actually in GMT+2 at the moment (at least until next week), the meeting was moved by two hours in ical, so it's still an hour off...

RE: [openmeetings-user] timzones and ical
Nope, I'm in Central European Summer Time (another participant of my test meeting is in BST, though - for him the meeting time in iCal was 11:30am, when it should have been 10:30)... anyway, when I use the simple reminder, it shows me the correct times - just set up another meeting for 2pm to 3pm and it shows Start: 24.10.2011 14:00:00 (Europe/Berlin) in the email reminder, which sounds right. So apparently it's only iCal that is having some timezone trouble.

Re: [openmeetings-user] timzones and ical
okay, I will have a look at it, maybe iCal is using the wrong basis for the calculation of the time.
