[Trunk/7.0] calendar view doesn't update time

[Ignas Karpiejus @ hbee]

Hello all,

it seems when creating a task it gets some default values in calendar view as 20:00 - 21:00 time, I can't find from where it gets those in task, aren't there supposed to be some fields in task object for this? Also it doesn't save changes if I drag task through the days times , changing the view to tree and to calendar view again resets values to 20:00 - 21:00 again, seems like it doesn't have somewhere to save it, I haven't looked very deep for this, but seems as a bug. Using - openerp-7.0-20130305-002149, only default project module installed with it's requirements.

Hello,

I traced the code of web-client and found that its an issue from web-client whenever field type is date web-client by default makes it datetime with hours=9, so and while displaying this datetime value it is converted to browser's timezone so if you are in timezone of UTC+5:30 then for each and every event displayed with 14:30 hours.

@Pankti: I don't think we should fix it from addons

@Amit Parik: The issue is available everywhere where field in date_start is type of date.

Hope this will help to fix the issue.

Thanks.

Hello,

Let me explain why this issue occurring.

It is because calendar view is implmeneted on field type date, logically there is no meaning to use date type field on calendar view because calendar view shows Day and Week mode which shows event on time baed values, so calendar view should be implemented on datetime field but even if develper implemented on date field so we have handled that scenario also, calendar creates event from 9:00 to 17:00 for field type date, but the only issue after this is after adding 9:00 and 17:00 hours to date_Start and date_deadline it convertes that date in to local timezone say for example you are in timezone UTC+5:30 so it is converted to 14:30, which is abnormal behaviour, I have one scenario where this thing make major issue.
If I am in timezone UTC+11(say for example region of USA Samoa), now I create event so 9:00 - 11:00 hours that is 22:00 PM of previous day, so event is created with 22:00 to 6:00 AM of next day(8:00 hour's event) so event is created for 2 days which is wrong.

The behavior should be same for any timezone, event should be displayed on 9:00 AM on any timezone when it is based on date field, from web-client only issue is that it converts time into local timezone which is fixed in following branch.
