Thanks. I am sure somebody will look into these date / time problems soon.

Good luck

inc/_vars.inc.php approx 228, change it to loo like this and see if it cures things ;)

// the months
$month['00'] = '\?\?';	// This can happen when importing junk dates from WordPress

It fixes the bug, at least for me.

Thanks

:O how dare you suggest that I could become a conniving bastard that's only interested in looking after their own pocket at the expense of the country !!!!! ..... or is that just UK politics? *angelic look*

Glad it fixed it, I'll commit the change when I sober up :D

Happy New Year ;)

I'm using this

			$MainList->date_if_changed( array(
					'before'      => '<h2>',
					'after'       => '</h2>',
					'date_format' => '\D\a\y z \o\f \W\e\e\k W l F, d Y',
				) );

Since I update now getting the following:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 63 in /home/inthehol/public_html/inc/_core/_param.funcs.php on line 604

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/inthehol/public_html/inc/_core/_param.funcs.php:604) in /home/inthehol/public_html/skins_adm/_html_header.inc.php on line 40

Did you apply this patch ?
$month['00'] = '\?\?';

This is not imported worpress

Doesn't matter. I didn't import anything from wordpress but this patch fixed the error. Just try.

It doesn't matter if it's imported WP or not, it still screws up the regex for long dates ;)

¥

gotcha ..... :) Works

one other thing I did take notice is it shows the day as 0 for Jan. 01 2008 and day 1 for Jan. 02 2008

also didn't take notice till now that if I edit a day like I did for December 31, it shows the date as Day 364 of Week 01.

The last time I looked there was 365 days to a year and the first day of the year was Day 1 not 0.

lol, stop editing posts then :|

I'll take a look and see if I can see what causes it ;)

Sorry have insomnia been 8| now 2 days :!:

today is the 19th day of 2008 but b2evolution 2.3.0-rc1 “Renaissance” shows the day being the 18th day ?

Did you check time in Tools -> System

Server time 01/19/08 - 09:27:21 am
GMT / UTC time 01/19/08 - 02:27:21 pm
b2evolution time 01/19/08 - 09:27:21 am

I've just tried this on my 2.3 and it shows the correct date ?

I've just committed the change to cvs so it should show on the demo soon. Have a play and see if it works there

OK maybe this went over your head(not being a smart ass :lol: ) if you take a look at my blog at http://www.intheholler.net you will notice that it shows Day 18 of Week 03 Saturday January, 19 2008.

It seems to me that the last time I looked today would be Day 19(NOT DAY 18) of week 03 January, 19 2008.

How cool, that would appear to be a php bug :

<?php
echo date( 'z' );
?>

¥

oops, correction :

z The day of the year (starting from 0) 0 through 365

php.net : [url=http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php]date()[/url]

¥

any ideas how to fix I'm outta options I don't know very much about php so I am of no help.

I believe it should be as 1 through 365.
0 is not a day on my calendar it shows January 1, 2008 not January 0, 2008

this should be addressed this is not correct there is not 366 days in a year.

You'd need to hack the core to "fix" this.

inc/_core/_misc.funcs.php approx 438

		/*
		Special symbols:
			'b': wether it's today (1) or not (0)
			'l': weekday
			'D': weekday abbrev
			'e': weekday letter
			'F': month
			'M': month abbrev
		*/

		#echo $dateformatstring, '<br />';

		// protect special symbols, that date() would need proper locale set for
		$protected_dateformatstring = preg_replace( '/(?<!\\\)([zblDeFM])/', '@@@\\\$1@@@', $dateformatstring );

		#echo $protected_dateformatstring, '<br />';

		$r = date( $protected_dateformatstring, $unixtimestamp );

		if( $protected_dateformatstring != $dateformatstring )
		{ // we had special symbols, replace them

			$istoday = ( date('Ymd',$unixtimestamp) == date('Ymd',$localtimenow) ) ? '1' : '0';
			$datemonth = date('m', $unixtimestamp);
			$dateweekday = date('w', $unixtimestamp);

			// replace special symbols
			$r = str_replace( array(
						'@@@b@@@',
						'@@@l@@@',
						'@@@D@@@',
						'@@@e@@@',
						'@@@F@@@',
						'@@@M@@@',
						'@@@z@@@',
						),
					array( $istoday,
						trim(T_($weekday[$dateweekday])),
						trim(T_($weekday_abbrev[$dateweekday])),
						trim(T_($weekday_letter[$dateweekday])),
						trim(T_($month[$datemonth])),
						trim(T_($month_abbrev[$datemonth])),
						date('z',$unixtimestamp ) + 1 ),
					$r );

this should be addressed this is not correct there is not 366 days in a year.

There is this year ;)

Then what'll happen is PHP will fix it and you'll end up with 2 - 366 8|

thanks now that looks better

No problem, you will need to redo your changes if you update as this won't be in the core

Ain't that the truth :p ( 2 -> 367 though ;) )
