Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:04:46 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124 E-mail notifications on events contain current date instead of event date In the latest version of Kronolith, e-mail notifications for events set in the calendar contain the wrong date and time information. For example, if I set an event for August 10 and ask to be reminded 3 days in advance, the notification e-mail will arrive on time, but the date and time flags in the body of the e-mail will erroneously state that the event is to happen at the current date (August 7 and the time the e-mail was generated) instead of the actual date and time of the event. Older versions of Kronolith worked properly; the e-mail contained the correct "Date" and "Time" stamps of the event, according to the "Start On" entry in the calendar. Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:28:44 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47870 Are you talking about alarms, event modifications, or the daily agenda? There are several kind of notifications in Kronolith. Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:59:02 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47873 I'm talking about reminders for events with alarms. Add a new event and set the alarm to 3 days before the event starts. Configure Kronolith to send e-mail reminders. The e-mails will contain the date when the e-mail was generated, not the actual date and time of the event you are reminded about ... Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:45:44 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47891 I'm not sure whether my previous explanation of the problem was sufficient since the ticket is still "awaiting feedback", so I will try to illustrate it through an example. I put my friend's birthday in the calendar and set it so that I get an e-mail notification 3 days before the event. The reminder came right on time, 3 days before, at the correct time, but the body of the e-mail did not contain the date and time of the event (as it has always been in previous versions of Kronolith); instead, it contained the current date and time. The title, subject and location of the event are all fine. Sat, 02 Aug 2008 00:07:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47953 OK, I figured out what caused the problem: Calendar Options --> Event Defaults ... click "Save". I'm using MySQL as a back end, and this option will create a "default_alarm" entry in the "horde_prefs" table for the user. Without it, the date and time of the event is not detected properly. Once it's there, even if the value is zero (default), the values are determined correctly. I tested this by deleting the entry in the database and triggering a new notification. So the solution for me was to create an entry in "horde_prefs" for each account on the server. Sat, 02 Aug 2008 05:06:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47954 Yet another update: recurring events are still not showing up with the correct date in the notification e-mails. Sun, 03 Aug 2008 05:36:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t47965 I deleted my default_alarm preference, logged out, logged back in, and tested with both single and recurring events, and both of them sent me emails with the correct data in them. Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:42:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7124#t48005 That's what I was afraid of. So it looks like the problem is specific to my setup. I can't even think of where to begin to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions? (aside from upgrading PHP) My server runs on CentOS 4.6 with PHP 4.3.9.
