hi.
We're creating a news site about our city (krakownews.pl) and are using Drupal 5 (RC 1
at the moment). One of the more imporant features of this site is an overview of cultural/sports events that are about to
happen. I used CCK to create a "wydarzenia" ("events" in Polish) content type which, among other things (like ticket price,
for example) has a date field. Then I used views module to create a page that lists todays events and several blocks (like
"upcoming important events", "tomorrow...", etc.). I simply created a "date: day = now" (for today) and "date: day = now -
86400" (why minus works, not plus, is beyond me).
Everything works very nice... except the way time is handled. Views/CCK/Drupal core (it's not always clear which one) give
us irritating bugs all the time. I don't even know where to start, so I'll just list several things that I noticed.
* if I set up CCK's date field to "no time zone conversion", date is being "pulled back" one day in a form every time I load
a "edit node" page. Example: I create an even titled "massive attack concert" with a date 15.01.2007. I save it, click on
edit and there's 14.01.2007 in an edit form. Also, if I use this setting, views show select incorrect nodes after midnight
