I'm still coming up to speed on the newest build and just want to confirm that there is no way to localize time/date to the user's own time zone?

Thanks,

Steve

try this...

Dim dtDate As New DateTime
' set a date to the server date/time
dtDate = Date.Now()
' if we have a user, localize the time based on their timezone
If HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated Then
    Dim objUser As UserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo
    Dim UserTime As New Entities.Users.UserTime
    dtDate = UserTime.ConvertToServerTime(dtDate, objUser.Profile.TimeZone)
End If

There was so much confusion before, we dropped the conversion to the User's TimeZone in the module. 

Instead, each instance of the module has a setting for the Events in that Instance (defaults to the Site TimeZone Setting initially).  You can change it for the instance.  Also, SubCalendar (other instances) may be set to a diff. TimeZone.  When linked to another Instance, their TimeZone is converted to the setting for that instance....  During testing, this created less confusion.

sorry, I didn't realize the question was about the Events module is particular, I was moderating the initial post and mistakenly thought it was a development question.

Alan,

I would suggest to add a module setting for user or module time zone, because it depends on the usage of the module, which zon is applied:

  • a city events calendar needs a fixed time zone
  • a web cast or chat calendar needs a converted time zone

we still have the issue, that DNN does not take DST into account.

Cheers from Germany,
