I wonder if I have the same issue but to reproduce, can somebody tell me how to do this?
Request an appointment with diferent time zone
I am currently trying to figure out how a guest user - no authenticated HTTP session with my nextcloud - who booked an appointment in my calendar - via nextcloud calendar appointment feature - has a calendar entry which starts one hour later then the entry in my nextcloud calendar? Is it maybe the scope of this issue is not only about the "notification mail" but also affects the .ics/event data sent out by nextcloud?
I was yet unable to identify the cause of this behaviour but I am also only a user and have no access to server-side logs of the nextcloud installation. It would be helpful if somebody could tell me how to request an appointment with a different timezone.
Thinking out loud: I would suspect the nextcloud webpage on which guests can choose a date and a timeslot in my calendar does not attempt to calculate some timezone client-side, or does it?
Can confirm. This is strange.
- Simple fix: always show the timezone. Then we at least have an indication that the booking person lives in a different time zone.
- Ideal fix: translate the time to the organizer timezone. Maybe show the other person's timezone in brackets.
Confirmed.
Both the requestee and requester get a email with the exact same time, even tho the requestee's calendar time zone and requester's appointment time zone are different. Additionally the requestee gets a gui notification with the requester's time zone adjusted time and NOT their own calendar time zone.
