Time displayed with different values in web and smart client

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I am encountering a weird issue within the application i am building in Servoy 3.5.7 for the web client. I display a DATETIME field from a record in a TEXT FIELD with format HH:mm. The problem is that on the web i see the time -1h. So if i set the time to 9:00 in the smart client, i see it 8:00 in the web client. On the server the timezone is GMT+2. My timezone is GMT+2. A person from a country with a timezone GMT+1 sees it 10:00, so +1h!
The property servoy.use.client.timezone is set to TRUE. This means we should all the the same time, correct?
I would deeply appreciate your help.

We changed the server timezone to GMT+1 and now only the new inserts show 1h later on the web client. Could you please help me on this one?

Diana,

you have asked the same question here, not so long time ago, where it is answered by Johan:

Yes, you are right, a time formatted field (HH:mm) is actually a datetime field, so it’s the same issue…
It’s just that I have the property servoy.use.client.timezone set to TRUE, and still when i create new records, the dates are different on the web from the smart client. I understood that they should be the same no matter the timezone we are looking from. Is this not correct?

if you have that property to true all the clients should see the exact same time as you entered

What version of servoy are you using?

for example if you put in “12:00” at some webclient then another webclient in another time zone doesnt show “12:00” ?
Or a smart client in the same time zone as the webclient that does the insert what does that see?
