Upcoming events and block caching

Recommended Posts

The block Upcoming events should not be cached. Actually we have a case, where the block displays false times because the site has been visited by someone from overseas. 

  1. You create an event on Sunday, 13:00, Timezone Europe/Berlin
  2. The block shows correct date and time
  3. Someone with different timezone visits the site
  4. The guest cache is generated for the block with new timezone
  5. The event is now shown in block as Sunday, 14:00. For everyone. Till the cache is re-generated by someone from Berlin.

I know there were discussions that users should see any date in their timezone, but in case of local events it does not make sense. One site guest "generates" dates and times for the guests that may have a different timezone. If I live in Berlin, my browser has a timezone Berlin and event is planned at 13:00 in Berlin, then I would like to see 13:00. Always. Not depending on someone's timezone who has visited the site before me.
