I am not sure this is Event Module related.  But I am curious if anyone has any insights.

I am having this problem with both the latest Event Module Release and the Event Module Beta.

I can create appointments no problem.  They show up correctly on the calendar, correct time, everything..  However, when I go to "Export Event to Desktop Event" and add the event to Outlook the time on Outlook is one hour later than the time of the event.

 

Thanks in advance for the help,

Stuart

The event module exports the event (vcs) file as UTC +0 offset.  The local calendar (ex. Outlook) is responsible for converting this date/time to the correct local time.  So, this would most likely be an issue on the local (registry) database....not the events module (since it is in UTC offset 0 format).

The beta version has not fixed this problem...DST is not accounted for in the DotNetNuke TimeZone tables.  I am working to try and get the core team to correct this and update the DNN TimeZone tables w/the DST offsets.

I'm not sure you can resolve the problem.  DNN has a TimeZone offset file...  That's what we are using in the Events module.  I natively assumed that this would work when I started coding for TimeZones...it does not.  In addition to the fields in the TimeZone fields in the XML File, we need a DST begin/end date/time fields and offset.  There are several great web articles on the issue.
