whole day events appear one day before real date (ICAL)
-
Hi!
I have my wordpress time zone setting set to “Berlin”, which currently is GMT+2. When I schedule an event for – i. e. – 18th of april, 20.00 to 23.00 in ICAL it appears as follows:
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:b9fa3d9a-6f73-49c9-81af-0a84f7a5c74e
DTSTART:20130418T180000Z
DTEND:20130418T213000Z
DTSTAMP:20130331T194137Z
SUMMARY:MTB-Stammtisch – College – 18.04.2013 – 20:00 – 23:30
LOCATION:Collegeav-marktschwaben.de/events/mtb-stammtisch-2013-04-18/
URL:http://www.dav-marktschwaben.de/events/mtb-stammtisch-2013-04-18/
END:VEVENTNT…which is correct: the DTSTART and DTEND fields show the time “minus 2 hours” as this is UTC time and is used correctly by the calendar program and shown the right way in my calendar.
Unfortunately, this automatic deduction of 2 hours also happens if the event is a “whole day” event, resulting in the whole event being “one day too early”. An example: a whole day event for the 4th of may:
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:38470744-9e77-46c9-8af8-a012edd4e878
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130503
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130504
DTSTAMP:20130331T195649Z
SUMMARY:MTB – Neureuth Trails – – 04.05.2013 – ganztags
LOCATION://www.dav-marktschwaben.de/events/mtb-neureuth-trails/
URL:http://www.dav-marktschwaben.de/events/mtb-neureuth-trails/
END:VEVENTNTYou see, the DTSTART and DTEND fields let the event begin and end one day too early.
Is there already a quick fix for this one and is this behavior a known issue?
Thanks
Christian
