I'm trying to hack GL so I can post stories that have occured in the past. Right now it seems the date pulls the current (today) date and in the admin seems to only pull the current year forward. I'd like to set it to go say 2-3 years back as well as forward so that I can post stories which have occured say last year.

You will need to modify function COM_getYearFormOptions() in lib-common.php such that it does not start with the current year but with an earlier year. Something like $start_year = $cur_year - 3; should do. bye, Dirk

Is there any way to do something similar to the calendar. I made the changes suggested here and I can add topics/stories back to 1999, and I can view the calendar back to 1999, but I can't add any "new" events to a 1999 calendar.

Hmmm, it seems to require a little more hacking. In /public_html/admin/story.php, change



to




where X is the number of years in the past you would like to have available.

You mean in /public_html/admin/event.php

Yup. That did it for admin accounts.

Thanks very much.

submit.php doesn't use the COM_getYearFormOptions() etc. functions for events submitted by users but instead uses its own local copies of those functions. This has now been fixed in 1.3.9, which also lets you select at least the previous year without any modifications.
