Timezone on Event Pages #697

Closed annmarieven closed 8 years ago

annmarieven commented 8 years ago

We're going to put timezones on event pages. Maybe we can do this automatically with Python or something. Touch base with Jmo to hear his thoughts on that.

Whoever ends up working on this, here is some documentation to look at:

Timezones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern

-- looking at the first update on this issue, was doing it automatically not something that was possible?

c-schwarze commented 8 years ago

I'll have @josiahtillman look into if we can do it automatically or not. Either way, we will still need the cascade portions. We might be able to skip the tinker form.

[ ] Add checkbox and dropdown fields to cascade
[ ] Add fields to tinker event form
[ ] Update Event format in cascade to display timezone (do we want to always mention the timezone?)
[ ] Add shorthand timezone to calendar?

Can we not do it based on location, if they select one of the preloaded values?

annmarieven commented 8 years ago

Time options will be: Central <--- this will be default Pacific Mountain Eastern

Will appear on the event forms as: CT PT MT ET

e-chapin commented 8 years ago

This will launch with the new tinker version.
