CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

 I had the following issue when using Drupal Views + Calendar module to display CiviCRM events on a monthly/weekly/daily calendar page. I also have a Views block that lists the next 5 upcoming events.   

 If the Drupal site was configured for EST ('America/New York')  then everything worked fine. 

 However if the Drupal site was configured for a time zone such as 'America/Los Angeles' or 'Australia/Sydney'  then events were shown on the wrong day on the monthly calendar page. (Such as an evening event would be shown on the day after the event start date)

I found a successful work-around: I edited the CiviCRM file "civicrm/drupal/modules/views/civicrm.views.inc"   I changed the function civicrm_date_api_fields($field) {
 // Timezone handling options: 'none', 'site', 'date', 'utc'.
  // The following line is a hack to solve an issue
    'tz_handling' => 'none',
// Original code:
// 'tz_handling' => 'site',

Is this change an issue in CiviCRM? Is there something else I should be checking?  ( BTW: I checked the event start date in the table "civicrm_event" and verified that its stored as entered by the user.  )
