[katello-devel] date and time on sync plan creation page

[Dmitri Dolguikh]

Hey everybody, apologies if this is a duplicate, my email client is 
behaving strangely...

Came across of this bit of code in SyncPlansController#convert_date_time:

     sync_event = date + ' ' + time + ' '  + DateTime.now.zone

We cannot assume that the server and the client reside in the same 
timezone - the end result of this is the client has no idea when (or 
what day for that matter) the sync is going to be executed. We have a 
similar issue when showing sync plan times too.

Timezone information has to come from the client. When showing time back 
to the client, we either: have to convert it to their time zone, or show 
it relative to UTC.

Should I add a story to the backlog for this?
