Summary0000163: Transfer of time zone within Funambol synchronization
Description

I discovered problem with transfer of time zone within Funambol synchronization.

case 1)

  • I have no saved Preferences in SOGo WebGUI, I see Europe/Prague zone in
    Preferences window (that's correct default setting from SOGoServerTimeZone
    global parameter, it is CEST zone)
  • I create new Event in SOGo WebGUI (started 12:00 CEST)
  • I synchronize my PDA (I'm using funambol client and SOGo Funabol connector),
    Event is transmited, but it starts on 10:00 on PDA calednar
  • when I create other Event in PDA calendar, it is transmited to SOGo
    correctly with right time

case 2)

  • I save my Preferences in SOGo WebGUI
  • I create new Event in SOGo WebGUI
  • I synchronize my PDA and start and end time of this transmited Event are
    correct in PDA calendar

So it looks like SOGo doesn't use correct TZ within synchronization when
user hasn't saved his Preferences. I think SOGo would use default
SOGoServerTimeZone global parameter in this case.

Thanks

This is the normal behavior.

Funambol can NOT access the values in the .GNUstepDefaults file.

This is also documented in the connector's README file:

3- If you sync and on your device, events (or start/due dates for
tasks) are offset, this means your devices is NOT UTC-capable
and that you MUST set your time zone from SOGo Web's interface.

I'm sorry for reopening.
I'm understanding both notes now and I agree with them.
On the other side I'm affraid many people will have same problem,
because they will not have their Preferences saved.
So I have one suggestion - If I understand better how Preferences work now

  • there are few preferences options, which are saved into users' preferences
    by his first login into SOGo.
    When this is not my mistake, SOGo WebGUI could save default TimeZone value
    from .GNUstepDefaults file into users' preferences by his first login too and
    all remaining things could work greatly then without changes...
