Serendipity Forums

Hello,

I have succesfully installed serendipity and its just the thing i was looking for. I have a small problem though. When I post a new entry, if i leave the day to be today's date, everything is just fine. If i want to create a new entry with a date in the future (to be posted lets say 30 days later than the posting date), it all goes berserk. After saving the new entry, i get a random date (random day, random month, random year) and not the date i was saving it as. Is there a way to show the date i want? To be more explicit:

Today, august, 09, 2006 i am creating a new entry with date being august, 30, 2006. After saving, the new entry has the date.. for example may, 26, 2027

Hi!

I suppose you are simply not entering a valid date for the future.

What exactly do you enter in the date input field?

Best regards,

by default when i create new entry, i get the date of today as being this format: 09-08-2006 (day-month-year) so when i modify any field its screwed up

What EXACTLY do you enter in the date input field?

so i want to make the post date 30-08-2006 or 30-09-2006 and it screws up. Nothing wrong with those dates, isnt it?

ON version 1.0, if you try to edit date and change ANYTHING in that field (hour, minute, anything), once you press SAVE the blog generates a very wierd random date, usually 30 years in the future or so... 2035 or whatever...

Bug occurs on editing old posts and on new ones too. (27-01-2015 11:52 was the latest lottery draw i got from that field). I disabled almost every date related plugin and wont fix it.

Any ideas?

I need that field to re-order entries on frontpage... unless you can suggest a better way.

Hi iuliandr!

If you enter "30-08-2006" then you are not using the right format. You would need to enter "2006-08-30 12:00" instead, for example.

Shanga, the same applies to you. What did you exactly enter?

[Maybe this problem is language specific. I tested this with version 1.0 using english and german, and in both versions a date like "2006-09-01 11:11" works perfectly fine]

Regerads,

Correct... Bug doesn't occur on English version... only on Romanian one, who has a different kind of date display...

Well i guess I'll keep admin in English...no problem...Thanks for help.

Hi!

Ah, then it might be that the translator of the bulgarian file made a mistake and changed the Date-Format that is required to be ISO-specific into a bulgarian timestamp.

I'll fix this in the new versions; you can edit your lang/serendipity_lang_ro.php and lang/UTF-8/serendipity_lang_ro.php files and replace the DATE_FORMAT_2 constant from "d-m-Y H:i" to "Y-m-d H:i"

Best regards,
Garvin
