Supporting another calendar

[AbdullahObaid]

Hi, I know the issue already asked many times ( #3473 #8851 ), I'm trying here to clarify what is the issue exactly and how it should be resolved.

Many countries use different calendar systems than Georgian, for us we use Hijri Calendar. As a non python developer I don't know how to implement my solution that I already implemented in many other projects I worked in.

To clarify, supporting Hijri Calendar Doesn't require changing anything in the database or the backend , how we implement it is :

1. Everything in the database is stored in Georgian Dates as usual.
2. We need to change the date picker to another one that supports Hijri Dates for example
3. We need to add a processor that convert any date we get from the Database - before sending it to the view - to it's equivalent Hijri date - here is a Hijri Date Converter for python.

To sum up : The date conversion happens after we get the input from the user ( Hijri to Georgian ) and before we display any date to the user ( Georgian to Hijri )

If I know python I would be happy to implement this feature myself, and it will not a lot of time to do. I wrote the idea here that we use in our PHP, ASP web apps so if someone can implement. I can help to explain any details if someone is interested.

Thanks

Is this related to https://github.com/t1m0n/air-datepicker/issues/193 ?

[hadeeld7]

is there any update regarding this ?

[moosavimaleki]

@AbdullahObaid A few other things need to change

1. Some queries that refer to this month (or this week) (for example: Profit rate from the beginning of the month until now)
2. Some JavaScript components that are related to date (date picker , calendar , timeline...)

it's called "Jalali" calendar not "Hijri Shamsi" and there are many opensource packages for it.

@ankush Could you add this as an option to the current Date control:

[ankush]

@mhbu50 feel free to send PR. Someone from our team can work on it to get it merged in core.

I personally do not have much context on this issue :sweat_smile:
