#1670 Calendar titles - show exact conversions

[Greg Roach]

Split from: [1793229] Calendar / New Date Functions

The title for the month/year calendar view shows the approximate conversions; i.e. the nearest month/year in the alternative calendar).

It should show the exact date. For example, instead of:

September 2003 (Elul 5763)

we should see something like:

September 2003 (4 Elul 5763 - 4 Tishrei 5763)

Gregorian and Hebrew months start at different times.

The current solution shows the calculated date of the beginning of the month.
This is not an approximate conversion.

This used to work in the old code.

We could also show
September 2003 (Elul - Tishrei 5763)

Please move this to the current version bugs.
I do not manage to do it.

<<The current solution shows the calculated date of the beginning of the month.>>

It actually converts based on the middle of the month - thus the converted month is the one containing the most days of the two (or three) that overlap.

Show when there are Gregorian and Hebrew dates in the GEDCOM file (or based on an option) the title conversion also when the calendar type is NONE.

Meliza, do you still want these *exact* conversions? I really don't, and nobody else has commented - which leaves us tied at one vote each way :-)

If I implement the conversion options we discussed in email, would you be happy with that?

Greg,

Yes, I want still the exact, or almost exact, conversion in the monthly and yearly calendar titles and today's date as I wrote in my mail to you.

* We should print for December 2007 (the Hebrew dates of 1/12/07 - the Hebrew date of 31/12/07), as we had, or (Kislev - Tevet 5768) - IBM Israel distributes yearly Gregorian calendars with the Gregorian and Hebrew dates marked for each day and the Gregorian month and the relevant Hebrew months printed next to each monthly row. Without the two values, the printed data is misleading.
* We should print for September 2008 (the Hebrew dates of 1/9/08 - 30/9/08) or at least (Elul 5768 - Tishrei 5769)
* We should print for Jewish Tishrei 5769 at the top either both the Gregorian date of the 1st and the last of the Tishrei month or (September - October 2008)
* We should print for Jewish Tevet 5768 at the top either both the Gregorian date of the 1st and the last of the Tevet month or (December 2007 - January 2008)
