Choose first day of the week on Upcoming Events calendar

[RGJ (Richard - Communiteq)]

@Jagster

My bet goes to some technically difficulties where the starting point was purely US-based

Did you know it’s hard coded to Monday almost everywhere else (surprised me as well)

@Discourse

Monday is considered the first day of the week in Discourse calendars, regardless of the viewer’s locale settings. This is currently not configurable.

@nukeador

new setting to allow us to define the first day

Ideally this would be dependent on user preferences (not on an admin setting).

I’ve taken a look at the code, since this issue has been annoying me for a long time too. There are three places in the code where FullCalendar is initialized. In one of them firstDay: 1 is already present. Discourse core hardcodes it to 1 as well.

I’ve made a PR that adds firstDay: 1 in the two missing places.

This is far from ideal but at least it brings consistency.
