273919 - WW01 needs some customization [week number count]

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

It appears that there are options about when WW01 occurs that should be
expressed to users as options.  For example, my company has WW01 always on the
week where Jan 1 occurs.

The current version of the calendar shows that week as WW53 in 2004, resulting in
every 2005 Work Week being wrong.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Look at Month view in the calendar, refering to December 2004
2.  The work week for Dec 31, and Jan 1 is ww53




Expected Results:  
The software should have some settings that allow a flexible work week 01.

The week-numbering system is now pluggable, via an extension that overrides calIWeekTitleService.  I'm against exposing actual options by default, as that'll get pretty darn complex.  -> Extension fodder.  (Anyone wanting to write this extension should feel free to contact me with specific questions, if they run into obstacles.)

Disagree with extension-fodder.
First of all, different countries use different numbering systems.
Second, companies might have their own systems (and small companies are our target...)

According to ISO 8601, the first week of the year is the week with the first Thursday in January.  I think this is currently not the default behaviour in Sunbird, but it should be.

The patch in bug 326270 should have solved all bugs regarding week numbering. If you bring up such an assertion, please check it with a recent version of Sunbird before. I couldn't reproduce numbering the wrong week as the first week of a year.

Please, file a bug with an detailed description, if ISO 8601 is not the default behavior in Sunbird.

Sorry, the latest nightly build is indeed ok (the latest public release was not).

The week number format is done according to iso 8601, which I think is fine. Aside from that, I agree the weekinfo service should be overridden in an extension (however that actually works, never tried)
