Time zone issue

    I just upgraded to 2.0, and am having a timezone-related issue. I have a site where I’ve defined three different feeds to create workshop listings for the three days of an event. With the old plug-in, I had each feed retrieving events based on Unix time codes, and that worked fine. With 2.0, it looks like that option is no longer available, and the time zone shifts appear to be causing events to show up on the wrong day.

    The Friday events (all later than 0:00 UTC Saturday, but still Friday here in California) show up in the Saturday feed, and the events after 5:00 PM Saturday show up in the Sunday feed.

    The Friday feed, for example, is set to
    Retrieve Events From: Specific date 10/03/2014
    Retrieve Events To: Specific date 10/4/2014

    The Timezone Adjustment doesn’t seem to have an effect; it originally was Default, and not working, and I set it to Los Angeles, and it’s still not working.

    Can you try updating to the 2.0.1 that was just released and see if that fixes the issue with the timezone please? If not then let me know here and I will look to see what is going on.

    Thanks!

    The behavior still appears in 2.0.1; a date range of Oct 4-Oct 5 retrieves events from 5:00 PM on Oct 3.

    I’m having the same issue. I get yesterday’s events showing up for today when I asked the plugin to start showing events from today onwards

    Ok thanks for the info I will look into it.

    I have the same issue after upgrading to 2.0 and today to 2.01 – my calendar is showing events from yesterday even though all of the feeds are set to display events from “today” forwards.

    It seems to be a problem with this line in includes/class-gce-display.php:

    line 72:
    if ( $event->end_time > $event->start_time && $event->start_time < $event->end_time ) {

    I changed to:
    if ( $event->end_time > $event->start_time && $event->start_time > time() ) {

    and I’m getting only today and later events.

    The issue is that time zone offset isn’t being calculated correctly. For the specific case of wanting to show events from the current time forward, your hack will work, but it doesn’t deal with the general issue of time zone offset calculation; my situation is displaying events from specific dates in the future.

    So, in includes/class-gce-feed.php, line 111:

    $gmt_offset = $this->timezone_offset * 3600;

    When I manually set $gmt_offset to my timezone offset (-7*3600), the feed works properly. So in line 75:

    $this->timezone_offset     = get_post_meta( $this->id, 'gce_timezone_offset', true );

    $this->timezone_offset is not being set properly.

    Thank you guys for the information. I will be looking into this deeply and getting a fix for all the timezone issues very soon.

    Thanks again.

    Looks like it works fine in 2.0.2. Thanks.

    I have time zone issue that these discussions do not seem to cover.

    The problem is that events disappear from the feed before they happen.

    In other words, in the morning, an event that happens at 7:00 pm tonight is displayed fine, but seems to disappear at 7:00 pm GMT, 8 hours before the event starts in California USA.

    I have all the time zone settings set for PDT (gmt-8)

    Is there a fix?

    All my start times are 4 hours late.

    My time zone is correctly set in WP settings and Google Calendar settings.

    ?
