I am able to sucessfully schedule & send Event Reminders now.  The problems I am having now is that the Reminders are being sent 2 hours late.  If I create an event for 8/7/2008 @ 5:00pm CST & set the option to send a reminder 24 hours before the event, then the event reminder will come 8/6/2008 @ around 7:00pm CST.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

This is almost certainly to do with the inaccuracies time-handling within the DNN framework. There are many points at which dates can be calculated wrong mainly because DNN does not support DST (since .Net V2 does not). The team have made their best attempt at accuracy, but unfortunately this isn't entirely possible.

I think 1 hour of your inaccuracy could be because of DST, the other hour could be because you are in a different timezone to your server. So could try changing your timezone for the module instance to negate this.

We hope to improve on this funtionality when DNN provides proper timezone support on .Net 3.5. Howevert this is no timeline for this support within DNN at this time.

Cheers
Roger

I continue having problems with the Events Module sending Email reminders. I am using 04.00.02 (RC2). Here is the error message that I get in the Scheduling History Log: DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.EventNotification, DotNetNuke.Modules.Events Event Notification failed.System.formatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Text.StringBuilder.formatError() at System.Text.StringBuilder.Appendformat(IformatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at System.String.format(IformatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.EventNotification.SendEventNotifications() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.EventNotification.DoWork() It seems strange that the Next Start is always lagging way behind the Start & End: S: 8/5/2008 10:25:19 AM E: 8/5/2008 10:25:19 AM N: 8/5/2008 8:54:36 AM Any Ideas on how to get this resolved? Thanks, Scott

Just for the record. This problem again solved offline, and was due to the Reminder template field being malformed on the event that is erroring.

Cheers
