t.o calendar: warn the user about the time zone being used at time selection by the user
I added an event at a calendar in Tiki.org community site, and selected the chosen time for the event (13h UTC).
https://tiki.org/tiki-calendar_edit_item.php?viewcalitemId=142There was no indication of which time zone was Tiki going to understand for my selection, so I chose the time in my time zone: 15h (UTC+2). Tiki stored that time as if it was at 15h UTC, and then display the time of the saved event to me as 17h (UTC+2).
So Tiki was expecting the user to introduce the time in UTC, apparently, but there was no indication about that to the user. Some info should be shown. Maybe that will depend on the settings being set in the tiki site (there are a few combinations to test, I guess). So at least I'll leave the bug report here about it.
I recall Jonny saying that there was some new jquery library that was aware of time zones for time and date pickers?
In addition, the time recorded for the item doesn't match the time the user selected in the edit form, or even shown when the user opens the item for edition again. This type of issue seems to have been solved recently (months) in tracker fields date and time (date picker, by developer kroky6), so it may probably just need porting similar fix to the calendar feature itself
