Dates in event details seem to be in US timezone with other local and language selected

Mikeasuras commented 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce

1.Set language to British English and Local to Australia/Brisbane to get the most consistent interface 2.Create an event 3.Look at the time and date in the monthly view and click it on to see the event details.

The dates/times are different, it shows 2:30 15th on the monthly view, but 8:30PM on the 14th(also in American format which is another bug!)

Expected behavior

The time zones and locals are consistently used throughout the interface

Actual behaviour

They are entirely inconsistent throughout the whole interface, if you don't live in America it's unusable. Some dates/times depend on the users set language, other the set local, and others seem to be hard coded to some American timezone.

Date time formats should all be based on the set local. Timezone should all be based off the same reference.

Is this issue resolved?

If the event happens in a timezone other than the user's own timezone, the UI becomes tricky. Converting to the local time is not a good option IMO because as soon as you open the date picker, it would be the remote time again.

I propose to add text underneath the two time pickers that convert the selected date and its timezone to the user's date and timezone. This is similar to https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/35979.

Quick and dirty mockup:

Google Calendar for comparison

Local time in small preview
Remote time in detail view
Timezone very obvious in detail view

@jancborchardt @marcoambrosini @nimishavijay what shall we do?

@ChristophWurst

My issue was not using a remote and local timezone, and that causing confusion(but still needs to be clear in the interface), it was the interface was not using the timezone and locals I had selected in all cases.

Hi there. Same thing on NC 29.0.2.

Agree with your research on Google Calendar:

Local time in small preview Remote time in detail view Timezone very obvious in detail view

Cause when viewing, only the local time is immediately relevant. But when editing, it needs to be obvious that it’s a different timezone. In the case when the event is not your timezone, I think it’s also good to write it out below (and to be able to change it) to make it more obvious than just the icon. @nimishavijay
