I am trying out the development snapshot of the module and am having trouble setting the correct time for a conference. No matter what time I enter when I create the conference, I always end up with 6am when the conference node is created. And then I get an email from DimDim saying that I have scheduled a meeting for 12am.

If I try to go back and edit the node, it always ends up back at 6am when I save the changes.

I don't know what the problem is.

There are two things that are a little strange but I don't know if they are related at all:
1)When I try to go back and edit the conference node I get a warning shown at top. I can still edit the node and save the changes despite the warning but this is what it says:
"warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in .../includes/bootstrap.inc on line 777".

2)When I create the conference node I do get an email from DimDim confirming the scheduled conference. But when I edit the conference node and try to change the time, I do not get an email from DimDim.

Please see the picture attached, for screen-shots of what is happening.

I experienced the same problem with scheduling. The event time is not set properly by the popup calendar or when entered with the popup disabled. Furthermore the date sent to dimdim on the initial entry does not match, nor does the date on the event node when viewed by a test user. The time is different in each location and view.

I have updated the code, I think I may still have an issue with the timezone handling and that warning is still there although the meeting scheduled time should be correct in dimdim and you should be able to also edit a meeting (I hadn't tested the edit functionality myself until now)

Thanks for doing the update. I tested creating a meeting at 11:15 am and it does seem to schedule it correctly in my DimDim account. I also went back and edited the meeting time in the meeting node and the change seems to appear correctly in my DimDim account. Good job on that fix.

However, the meeting node itself still seems to have a problem. I think this may be what you're talking about with the time zone thing. My DimDim account showed the correct time that I entered when I created the node, of 11:15am, but the node itself shows a time that is different than what was entered. Instead of 11:15 am it showed 5:15pm. And when I edited the node to 3:15 pm and saved, it then showed 9:15 pm. So for some reason my timezone (which I set as New York) seems to be 6 hours off.

And a little side note, when I originally set the meeting time for 11:15 am I got an email from DimDim saying I scheduled the meeting for 10:15 am. So DimDim has the time right when I look at my DimDim account, but on the email it seems they may have a daylight savings time glitch.

I think I have finally got the timezone issues sorted and the times should be correct.
