I'm developing an application that will have users from different time
zones. The intent is to store everything in UTC and translate to user's
timezone at display/edit time. I started working on my own solution when I
came across this post
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/IS_DATE$20timezone/web2py/jIEUIb8wxtg/rWe5g-IhCwAJ>which
seems to indicate that if you specify a timezone parameter to the IS_DATE()
validator web2py will do all the timezone translation for you.
However every time I specify the timezone parameter to IS_DATE() I will get
no dates validated no matter what
Without specifying a timezone it obviously works:
def test_date():
db.define_table('test_table',Field('usr_comment'),Field('comment_date',
requires=IS_DATE('%Y-%m-%d')))
form =SQLFORM.grid(db.test_table, create=True,editable=True,
user_signature=False)
return dict(form=form)
However this:
def test_date():
db.define_table('test_table', Field('usr_comment'), Field('comment_date'
, requires=IS_DATE('%Y-%m-%d', timezone='America/Chicago')))
form = SQLFORM.grid(db.test_table, create=True, editable=True,
user_signature=False)
return dict(form=form)
or even this:
def test_date():
from pytz import timezone
mytz = timezone('America/Chicago')
db.define_table('test_table', Field('usr_comment'),Field('comment_date',
requires=IS_DATE('%Y-%m-%d', timezone=mytz)))
form=SQLFORM.grid(db.test_table, create=True, editable=True,
user_signature=False)
return dict(form=form)
Always tells me "Enter date as 1963-08-28" when submitting the form and
never allows me to add/edit values (of course I'm entering dates as
2015-10-25).
Am I missing something or is there a bug with IS_DATE and timezone handling?
Thanks,
Julian
