recurring events & dst

[tom wible]

reopening https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/utc-and-time-change/

i have a recurring event, created during dst, tz=ny, that shows the time as dst, even for dates occurring during standard time: see http://letartliveon.com/event/board-meeting-4/all/
(also note that the listing isn’t properly sorted by date, nd includes a past date)-:
also note that the popover for example http://letartliveon.com/event/board-meeting-4/2017-02-23/ is missing the day-of-week (4th thursday):

An event every month that begins at 11:00am on day Fourth[missing d.o.w] of the month, repeating indefinitely

hope u can fix these issues, in the meantime, i will disable Appends the timezone to the end of event scheduling information

i believe apple had a similar issue with tz/dst, and the recent leap second caused some heartburn…times r tough;-} and i’m just waiting for indiana, now that they’ve unloaded ayatollah pence on us, to redefine pi as 3 PERIOD!-\

Hi Tom 🙂

You are correct and this is actually a bug our QA team caught quite recently, though we haven’t yet been able to address it.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and will attach this forum topic to the bug report (so that we can update you when the fix is ready to ship). Disabling the appending of the timezone name as you have done will hopefully serve as an effective workaround until a substantive fix is released.

Thanks for your patience and support in the meantime.

I’ll set the topic to ‘pending fix’ and we’ll aim to update it once there’s something to report 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
