event_start vs start_time #41

Closed AveshCSingh closed 11 years ago

AveshCSingh commented 12 years ago

Does anyone know why both of these fields exist?

It appears that: event_start = year-month-day time start_time = year-day-month time

I believe the norm for Unix is Year-month-day.

I would like to merge these fields into a single field, but I don't want to overwrite something important. Why did Teudu choose to have both event_start and start_time?

I believe this was done for multi-day events. So you could have a 3-day event that started on Monday and continued for multiple days. Apologies for the late reply.

Thanks for your reply. Can you explain that a bit further? How do event_start and start_time differ?

byee01 commented 12 years ago

When we made it the primary use case was in the Kinect app, in order to display an event from the event_start til event_end at start_time.

It was never fully finished and can be removed.
