first day of week should be found in locale

[Robert Corsaro]

first day of week in calendar should be configured based on the users locale. first_day_of_week config should be changed to default_first_day_of_week

Does Trac have a configurable preference for this? I've wanted to do the same thing with a few other macros, but have not been able to find such a preference in Trac. It seems like it would be best to have a parameter for this in the [trac] section of trac.ini.

On the contrary. It should be by user

That is sort of where I was headed ... Like the timezone preference, which has a trac setting and a user preference, the locale could have the same options. If the user specifies a preference, it over-rides the Trac setting.

Such an option currently does not exist, right?

Trac dates and times are currently displayed in the format, MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM PM, so the day of week preference might be something that could be implemented along with a datetime format preference.

We have trac settings for display order of date, date separator and first day of week. ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin

For the record: "first week day in user-preferences" is an enhancement tracked in ​t:#10757 (see comment 9 in that ticket).

Coming from recent work for WikiCalendarMacro I know, that one could find a user-defined setting per request by help of req.locale (since Trac 0.12), instantiate Locale, a Babel object, that in turn would provide the appropriate value in Locale.first_week_day, (see source:wikicalendarmacro/trunk/wikicalendar/macros.py​).

Doesn't matter, if Babel has been installed or not, I think no solution should be expected for Trac < 0.12, because it lacks even basic localization support.

The forthcoming Trac 1.2 supports time fields, so this plugin is being deprecated.
