Same issue for me

The date picker in start date still has Sunday even though I have the setting ISO activated

Perhaps it is related to JRA-20014. Whilst fixing JRA-20014 we will be sure to use your steps to reproduce to ensure the issue is resolved.

Hello Álvaro Sánchez-Mariscal,

Apologies this issue is still affecting you. I have tried to reproduce it locally by:

1. Setting the user profile locale to German
2. Clicking on the "duedate" picker from the edit issue page
3. Clicking the release date picker from manage versions (in project admin)

Both of these pickers had Monday as the first day.

I also tried setting the system locale (Administration > General Configuration). The same pickers still had Monday as the first day.

Are you able to please let me know how this problem can be reproduced. Perhaps I should be trying a different locale?

Thankyou

I do have JIRA 4 (v4.1.2#531)

Perhaps it was only fixed in version 4, Álvaro?
Have you upgraded?

How can a issue like this remain open for more than 4 years?

And why is it marked as resolved if it isn't really fixed?

Concerning the First Week Of Year problem, see JRA-10088.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I got Project Administration - Manage Versions monday change after modifing
template/standard/datepicker2.jsp and template/single/datepicker2.jsp
includes\js\calendar\calendar.js modificatsions did not help in Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13.2.

Now its only the JIRA Calendar Plugin monday left for me

Hi,

I have managed to change the start of the week from Sunday to Monday at Project Administration - Manage Versions.

This is done in the includes\js\calendar\calendar.js. I guess this would override (hardcode) the value of the first day of the week (from 0 to 1).

Regards,
Timothy

Does this mean there is no workaround in this case?

The same copy of the calendar is used. However it is invoked differently from different places. The main reason for this is that plugins cannot use JSPs and have to use velocity.

Hello,

my users found a second place where this error occurs.
In the popup calendar of Project Administration - Manage Versions.
This calendar looks very similar to the javascript one which is referenced in the macro.
But it is not affected by any changes in the macro, so it must be a separately defined one!

How can I change this second calendar?

Why don't you just use one single copy of the popup calendar and configure it in one single place?

Hello Judith,

you are right, of course. Setting the first day of the week to monday only works for this year.
We need also the possibility to set the first week of the year according to one of the existing standards,
as e.g. in Outlook, where we have 3 choices.

To Atlassian:
It would be nice to have a solution before 2010 !

Cheers

Bettina

In Austria, Germany, UK (and maybe many more) the first calendar week doesn't depend on our first day of week (monday), it's defined the first week with 4 days in the new year. This year it doesn't matter, because it's accidental the same, but it will be a problem in 3 or 4 years.

quote from wikipedia:

...The international standard ISO 8601 also defines Monday as the first day of the week. In practice, this means that calendar formats disagree, and that "next week" said on Sunday means "the week beginning tomorrow".

In that international standard, the "first week of the year" is that week which includes the first Thursday of the year.

Hi Bettina,

Apologies for that, I neglected to test the change on Jira 3.3.3. To make the same change for 3.3.3, you will need to edit the file \atlassian-jira\secure\popups\calendar.jsp and make the same change as above.

Let us know if this works for you.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I made the change on my test system (Jira 3.4.3 enterprise) and it worked very well.
On my production system with Jira 3.3.3 enterprise your solution did not work though.
This is because the whole macro datePopup is missing in macros.vm of Jira 3.3.3.
I tried added the complete macro, but it did not help either.
I bet our IT section will not start an upgrade of a production system just for some minor functionality.
So if you have any suggestion about how to solve the problem without making an upgrade please tell!

Cheers Bettina

Hi Bettina,

It is possible for you to change the default setting by editing the velocity file atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\jira\macros.vm.

You should just need to change the following line:

firstDay       :    0,                  // first day of the week

to

firstDay       :    1,                  // first day of the week

Once changed just restart Jira and your datepicker should start on Monday.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Brian
