[Vtigercrm-developers] Google Calendar Sync - Sync Settings

[Richard Hills - Technologywise]

Another small issue we are facing with the google calendar sync.

Today I tested creating a recurring event in google, weekly recurring 
from 21:00 to 22:00.

All came through to google with our usual problem of being imported 
around 12 hours off due to timezone setting, however some started @ 
08:00 and some started at 09:00 (in google all began at the same time).

Again, I do hope to be able to find time to test this on another system 
soon, but would love to hear of anyone else who this "just works" for or 
can confirm similar issues.

Thanks
