Hello,
I opened FIX: Refresh event dates in topic lists - Pull Request #43285 - discourse/discourse - GitHub for this.
I then made a screen recording of manual testing against the PR head commit:
The PR is based on main.
The red timer in the recording counts down to the relevant event boundaries, while the green clock shows the current wall-clock time, so the recording should be self-contained.
I’ve included my exact test timings and BBCode below as supplementary notes.
First test — edit end only
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16:22 | no edit | 16:25 | 16:28 |
The BBCode initially was:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:22" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:25"]
this is an event description
[/event]
I explicitly changed it to:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:22" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:28"]
this is an event description
[/event]
Second test — edit start only
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16:31 | 16:32 | 16:35 | no edit |
I made a setup mistake in this run: the initial BBCode was actually:
[event start="2026-09-04 17:00" end="2026-09-04 18:00" status="public" timezone="Europe/London" reminders="notification.15.minutes"]
[/event]
I then explicitly changed it to:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:32" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:35" reminders=notification.15.minutes]
[/event]
So this particular run should not be treated as a clean 16:31 → 16:32 start-only comparison.
Third test — edit start and end
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16:38 | 16:39 | 16:42 | 16:45 |
The BBCode initially was:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:38" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:42" reminders=notification.15.minutes]
[/event]
I explicitly changed it to:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:39" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:45" reminders=notification.15.minutes]
[/event]
Fourth test — edit end only
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16:47 | no edit | 16:50 | 16:53 |
The BBCode initially was:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:47" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:50"]
[/event]
I explicitly changed it to:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:47" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:53"]
[/event]
Fifth test — edit start only
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16:56 | 16:57 | 17:00 | no edit |
The final BBCode was:
[event start="2026-09-04 16:57" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 17:00" reminders=notification.15.minutes]
[/event]
A database check afterwards confirms that this post was edited once by its author within Discourse’s 300-second editing grace period (self_edits = 1). Because the edit was within that grace period, the post remained at version 1 and no visible revision/pencil was created.
The original raw value is therefore no longer available from post_revisions, but the test was not an unedited post.
Sixth test — edit start and end
Intended timings:
| start | edited start | end | edited end |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17:03 | 17:04 | 17:07 | 17:10 |
The final BBCode was:
[event start="2026-09-04 17:04" end="2026-09-04 17:10" status="public" timezone="Europe/London" reminders="notification.15.minutes"]
